目的：描述韩裔美国家庭中的照顾角色。设计：描述性研究。方法：使用半结构化问卷对 30 名韩裔美国女性照顾者进行访谈，调查内容涉及社会人口背景、照顾历史、孝顺责任、家庭网络、认知状态、依赖性水平、工作照顾冲突、家庭冲突、经济压力和消极的生活方式变化。结果：韩裔美国照顾者是仅与老年人共享家庭的老年妻子。这些妇女收入低、失业、受教育程度较低，并将她们的护理活动视为作为配偶赋予她们的义务和责任的最终分配。讨论：韩国传统的孝道文化规范在韩裔美国护理人员的护理活动中发挥着重要作用。意义：理解文化规范可能使医疗保健提供者能够看到表面之下，即使护理人员可能不会表达问题。
PURPOSE: To describe the caregiving role in the Korean American family.DESIGN: Descriptive study.METHOD: Thirty Korean American female caregivers were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire related to sociodemographic background, caregiving history, filial responsibility, family network, cognitive status, dependency level, job-caregiving conflict, family conflict, economic strain, and negative life-style changes.FINDINGS: The Korean American caregivers were elderly wives who were sharing households only with their elderly husbands, and these women were low-income, unemployed, less educated, and regarded their caregiving activity as a final assignment of obligation and duty given to them as spouse.DISCUSSION: The Korean traditional cultural norm of filial piety plays a significant role for caregiving activities among Korean American caregivers.IMPLICATION: Understanding cultural norms may enable health care providers to look below the surface even though caregivers may not express problems.
