Perceptions of filial piety among Taiwanese university students

Abstract

The findings reflect a shift from their parents' views, particularly the filial practice of living with one's older parents. These young adults loved and respected their parents, but would consider alternative living situations for them, depending on future circumstances. As considering an alternative to culturally traditional filial practice may have an impact on intergenerational well-being, we suggest that nurses could act as a bridge to facilitate communication between the two generations.
