摘要

Background

Older adults require varying degrees of care. The primary providers of care to older adults are often their adult children. Familiarity of adult children with the expectations of filial responsibility towards their older parents makes better relationship, improves the quality of care, and prevents the institutionalization of the elderly. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify the elements of filial responsibility expectations in older parents.

Methods

This study employed a comprehensive review approach based on Russell's suggested method (October 2023 to April 2024). Studies conducted on the expectations of filial responsibility was searched in databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, SID, Magiran, Irandoc, and Google Scholar search engine using, keywords such as "filial", "value*", "duty*", "responsibility", "obligate*", "expectation*", "child*", "age*","elderly", "older*", "senior*", and their Persian equivalents without time restrictions. Based on the results of 52 studies, filial responsibility expectations were categorized using content analysis according to Russell's proposed approach.

Results

Fifteen subcategories were extracted, including preserving dignity, endless love, boosting vitality, creating a lasting generation, instrumental assistance, financial assistance, caregiving foresight, social inclusion motivator, visiting, companionship, promoting awareness, posthumous perpetuity, spiritual elevation, self-care, and caregiving to others, from which five main categories of psycho-emotional expectations, physical expectations, social expectations, spiritual expectations, and indirect expectations were obtained.

Conclusion

The expectations of older parents from their adult children are diverse and encompass a wide spectrum. The importance of each expectation and its type and frequency varies across different countries. Discrepancies in the findings of studies highlight the dynamic nature of this issue and the effects of culture, society, economy, time, technology, and religion on it. Therefore, qualitative studies in different countries are recommended to broaden and deepen the knowledge in this area.
