Abstract

Family is the primary social structure and older people mostly rely on their families for health and assistance. Yet, there are several dimensions of factors associated with caring burden including physical, emotional, cognitive, financial, social, and cultural. It should be highlighted that, despite the burden of caregiving, the carers emphasized a strong feeling of filial obligation that drove them to continue caring. It is important to understand the caring responsibilities in the perspective of family caregivers. Thus, this review aims to identify and describe the cultural framework available for family caregivers in managing older people living with musculoskeletal pain and to describe the cultural-related factors in caring for older people living with chronic musculoskeletal pain in the community. Systematic articles search has been conducted in the health-related databases such as PubMed, Cambridge Journal, Clinical Key, Oxford Journal, ScienceDirect and SpringerLink yielded into 20 articles were included in this review. The review discovered that, despite being trained, caregivers who are needed to care for older family members are impacted in terms of physical and psychological health, social life, and financial well-being. They felt frustrated that they could not offer as much care as they wanted owing to strong filial duties, and felt abandoned by the formal care system in terms of culturally appropriate services. Furthermore, healthcare personnel may have an impact on family caregivers through their practise, knowledge, and support for culturally appropriate care, as indicated by a lack of culturally appropriate practises and knowledge among healthcare personnel, as well as little support for policies to reduce healthcare disparities. These factors may have made it more difficult for family caregivers to keep their responsibility in caring. Thus, healthcare in Malaysia should focus on the burden faced by the caregiver and be more culturally sensitive in providing care to older people. Findings will assist in assessing the requirements of caregivers while giving care to the elderly. Consequently, we will be able to improve our healthcare services in terms of cultural sensitivity in the future.
