Grandparent parents. Intergenerational surrogate parenting
Abstract
There is an increasing prevalence in the United States of intergenerational surrogate parenting. In fact, grandmother-headed households that include grandchildren without their parents are the fastest growing intergenerational surrogate family combination. This article reviews the intergenerational surrogate family phenomenon relative to its impact on the grandmothers' health and offers resources and implications for nursing.
