Background: Mobility impairment is a chronic disease that needs long-term care. This condition will change many aspects of elders’ life that are difficult to adapt. Family members who act as a caregiver are the essential part of elders’ life.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the meaning of caregiving for elders with mobility impairment by family members.
Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with eight family caregivers who were taking care for mobility-impaired elders. In this phenomenological qualitative study, data were then analyzed with content analysis by Colaizzi method.
Results: The essence of elderly caregiving for family was to grow both spiritual and cultural values in their lives. Looking for the Lord’s blessing; life’s tests; looking for the Lord’s fortune; and God’s training for patience were included in the spiritual value while the cultural values consisted of child obligation; responsibility; future expectation; role model for children; and filial piety.
Conclusion: Obstacles faced by family caregivers can be overcome by taking the essence of caregiving as part of spiritual and cultural values thus caring can be provided continuously and compassionately. The findings recommended the cultural aspects in caring elderly need to be investigated further using ethnography approach.
