Part 1 of this paper explored the premise that a role predicament of caring exists within family caregiving relationships, arguing that dysfunctional patterns of communication develop in family caregiving relationships not only in response to stereotypical expectations of both caregiver and carereceiver concerning their role in the caregiving relationship. This was grounded in data from a large comprehensive study of older people and their family caregivers. This paper builds on the earlier contention and holds that more productive and effective forms of communication and caregiving relationships can be promoted through modification of role expectations and behaviours. The Health Promoting Communication Model is introduced and proposed as an appropriate framework for guiding both prevention and intervention strategies for health promoting communication in family caregiving.

Contends that dysfunctional patterns of communication can develop in family aged care dyads in response to stereotypical role expectations in the caregiving-carereceiving relationship, thus giving rise to a role predicament of caring. If this argument holds it follows that more productive and effective forms of communication and relationship are dependent upon both members of the aged care dyad understanding the expectations of their role and if necessary reconstructing them. Develops the Communication Predicament of Ageing Model to include role expectations. The conceptions are grounded in important conclusions drawn from data contained in a large comprehensive study of older people and their family caregivers.
