Abstract
Young adults (N= 153) completed a questionnaire about their relationships with grandparents they perceived to live with illness, disease, and/or disability. We investigated (1) the extent to which participants reported worrying about 12 causes of concern related to their grandparents' health and well-being (e.g., the grandparent dying in the near future) and (2) their perceptions concerning the extent to which their grandparents' health problems have affected nine areas of their own lives (e.g., the cohesiveness of their families). The results provide the foundation for the development of a descriptive base of knowledge useful in guiding further exploration of young adults' perceptions of the effects of grandparents' health on their own lives and their relationships with affected grandparents.
