摘要
Few studies have explored young sibling caregiving from the perspective of young carers. The aim of this study was to explore the unique experiences and challenges of young people in Ontario, Canada who care for a sibling. Data were obtained from interview-style podcasts titled Hidden: The Voices of Young Carers published by "The Change Foundation". A total of seven podcasts were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Eight themes were identified. While young sibling carers described an enhanced level of resourcefulness resulting from their role when compared to their peers, they also noted the unique challenges that emanate from being a young sibling caregiver. Limitations and implications of the analysis are discussed. Future directions for research are also explored.
