Notes

Abstract: Cultural and social factors significantly influence the care provided to persons with dementia. This scoping review aimed to map emerging evidence on the influence of cultural and social factors on care delivery among Africa American caregivers of persons with dementia, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a systematic scoping review approach, we identified 21 studies on cultural and social factors influencing care delivery. The search included EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, JBI Evidence Synthesis, and Epistemonicos. A narrative synthesis of the data revealed that cultural and social factors greatly influence African American caregivers of persons with dementia and COVID-19 in care delivery, who perceive caregiving as a responsibility and not just a job. These caregivers are additionally guided by their racial identity and faith beliefs, integrating family values and culture into caregiving. African American caregivers showed compassion and resilient care self perceptions. Supporting compassionate care delivery by African American caregivers requires an understanding of the social and cultural factors which drive their commitment to quality care for older adults with dementia in a pandemic environment.
