Description
Summary:Future care provision is a pervasive concern of parents with children living with disabilities. This article aims to provide an overview of the impact of familism on future care planning for Korean parents. For this qualitative study, data were collected using semi-structured interviews with parents (n = 9) and professionals (n = 9). Using conventional analysis, the study revealed there is strong emphasis on familial care with minimal governmental service provision and intervention; ultimately, this has a negative impact on the planning process. In support of the planning process taking its place as a standard phase of caring, a number of recommendations are made.
