PROBLEM: The purpose of this study was to describe Korean American adolescents' (KAAs') and their parents' perceptions of KAAs' experiences with acculturative stress and to examine the congruity between their perceptions.METHOD: This study used the qualitative descriptive method. Twenty KAAs aged 11-14 years and their 21 parents participated in in-depth, face-to-face interviews.FINDINGS: Qualitative content analysis revealed that KAAs and their parents reported similar views regarding acculturative stress experienced by KAAs: peer relationships, being treated differently or unfairly, pressure to excel academically and be successful, and strained parent-child relationships.CONCLUSION: Culturally and developmentally relevant interventions focusing on strengthening peer relationships and parent-child relationships are needed for this population.
