The purpose of the current study was to identify stressors of Black family caregivers (FCGs) of persons with memory problems (PWMPs), services of interest, and barriers to use of these services. Black FCGs were recruited from the Alzheimer's family program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and affiliated geriatric clinics, media sources, and word-of-mouth referrals. Of 38 Black FCGs interviewed, 26 (68%) were female, 18 (47%) were employed, and 21 (55%) were adult children. Average age of FCGs was 52.11 years. Mean scores for the AD8 Dementia Screening Scale (mean = 13.95, SD = 2.17) and Clinical Dementia Scale Sum of Boxes (mean = 7.29, SD = 0.87) were higher than clinical cutoffs. The most common stressors for Black FCGs were PWMPs' inability to remember who they were, managing care recipients' financial affairs, and managing PWMPs' comorbid conditions. FCGs were most interested in educational material regarding treatment and diagnosis (55.3%), caring for people with dementia (52.6%), understanding dementia (52.6%), and financial/legal services (52.6%). FCGs stated that transportation difficulties and the need for a relief person were barriers to use of services. Results suggest that Black FCGs may be more likely to participate in interventions that include virtual conferencing modalities. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 48(6), 13–18.]

本研究的目的是确定有记忆问题 (PWMP) 的黑人家庭照顾者 (FCG) 的压力源、感兴趣的服务以及使用这些服务的障碍。黑人 FCG 是从阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校的阿尔茨海默氏症家庭项目和附属的老年诊所、媒体来源和口碑推荐中招募的。在接受采访的 38 名黑人 FCG 中，26 人 (68%) 是女性，18 人 (47%) 有工作，21 人 (55%) 是成年子女。FCG的平均年龄为52.11岁。AD8 痴呆筛查量表的平均分数（平均值 = 13.95，SD = 2.17）和临床痴呆量表总和（平均值 = 7.29，SD= 0.87) 高于临床临界值。黑人 FCG 最常见的压力源是 PWMPs 无法记住自己是谁、无法管理护理对象的财务以及管理 PWMPs 的合并症。FCG 对有关治疗和诊断的教育材料（55.3%）、照顾痴呆症患者（52.6%）、了解痴呆症（52.6%）和金融/法律服务（52.6%）最感兴趣。FCG 表示，交通困难和需要救援人员是使用服务的障碍。结果表明，黑人 FCG 可能更有可能参与包括虚拟会议方式在内的干预措施。[老年护理杂志，48（6），13-18。]
