    Abstract
    The growth of minority older populations has created an increased need for African American family caregivers. African American women are at increased risk when the demands of caregiving are added to their existing health disparities. The purpose of this study was to understand the caregiving experiences of African American women, their ability to provide selfcare, and the influences of the African American culture on caregiving. Qualitative description was used to study 12 African American women caring for their mothers. Themes extrapolated from the data were commitment to care, self-care by the daughter caregivers, and the difficult times. An integrated pattern ·was also identified: Influences of African American Culture on caregiving. African American daughter caregivers have a profound commitment to provide the care needed by their mothers. The daughter caregivers' self-care was balanced within and impacted by the demands and stresses of caregiving. The African American culture embodied expectations for daughter caregivers to provide care but also facilitated sourc,es of support and strength.
