Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of familism among Chinese and Vietnamese married immigrant women who care for their parents-in-law on their caregiver stress. For this purpose, a survey was conducted from September to December 2014 with the help of a local multi-cultural family support center and a lifelong education center. In the end, 147 Chinese and 174 Vietnamese daughtersin-law answered the questionnaire. First, the greater the married women's patrilineal familism, the more they suffered from caregiver stress. Second, the greater the inheritance of family tradition among Vietnamese married immigrant women, the lower their caregiver stress. © 2016 International Information Institute.
