Abstract/Summary

Having a lengthier life expectancy as compared to that of one's parents, siblings are sought to take on the responsibility as the primary caregivers (Burke, Taylor, Urbano, & Hodapp, 2012) to their brother/sister with special needs. However, standing as caretakers would entail abandoning of certain things (Antigua, 2007) and going through a great deal of difficulties and stressors (Montgomery & Kosloski, 2009). That being so, the current research study considered the caregiver identity theory of Montgomery and Kosloski (2009) in which accentuates five phases in which caregivers usually go through-- from the introduction of the caregiver role to its termination. Together with the gathering of data, interviewing participants with brother/sister with special needs (Autism [1], Global Delay [1], Hyrocephalus [2]), and analysis of data; the researches incorporated the particulars and the information obtained with that of the aforementioned theory and examined whether the consistency and reliability of the principle could be conducted in the current and Philippine context. Results reported riveting marks, though with close-to-scant data; yet, facts prove actual caregiver sentiments and may direct myriads of research studies in the future.
