The dramatic effect on the prevalence of elder caregiving is a great concern in the United States as the elder population 65 and older increases (Whitlack & Noelker, 1996). This study focused on the relationship between the characteristics of the caregiver and care recipient in the use of community services in elder caregiving. Cross tabulation and chi-square, factor analyses, and independent t-tests were employed as statistical analyses to evaluate the caregiver's and care recipient's characteristics in community service use. Cross tabulation and chi-square tests revealed significant differences in the use of community services and the caregiver's ethnicity, income level, education, marital status, and gender. A factor analysis revealed a significant difference in the caregiver's attitude and the use of community service. Two independent t-tests were performed and revealed differences on the care recipient's characteristics (age and functional ability) in the use of community services. An analysis of the data suggested that there was a relationship between the caregiver's and care recipient's characteristics in the use of community services. doctoral dissertations English eng Colorado State University.
