Abstract | Background: The proportion of the aged population from culturally and linguistically diverse
(CALD) backgrounds is growing significantly over the years, however many studies have reported
health inequality and under-utilisation of aged care services among this population. Objectives:
This paper, in preparation for a larger study, aims to explore issues which may influence aged care
use among the Chinese elderly by undertaking a review of literature and three case studies of older
Melbournians of Chinese-speaking backgrounds. Results: The review found that use of aged care
services is determined by health need, as well as demographic, social structural, psychological,
familial, community and organisational factors. While age and health status are common factors that
were identified to influence the utilization of aged care services regardless of ethnicity, other factors
such as language, migration circumstances, filial piety, and care source preference were socially and
culturally related factors that affected utilisation of aged care among Chinese elderly. Additionally,
the case studies of the Chinese elderly in Melbourne also demonstrated that the aged Chinese
population is an internally diversified group demonstrating considerable variation in attitudes
toward aged care use. Conclusion: Based on this review, a modified Andersen behavioural model is
developed as the framework to guide the future study which will adopt the mixed methods research
design, consisting of survey and in-depth interviews. |
