在美国和韩国，文化严重影响母亲对待婴儿的行为。根据作者在两种环境中的经验和工作，探讨了这两种文化之间的差异。这种比较包括许多出发点。美国文化鼓励婴儿自主和独立的行为，而在韩国文化中，母亲往往认为婴儿是被动和依赖的。美国的母爱是因人而异的，依赖于医疗保健提供者的专业知识。相反，韩国文化高度仪式化，因此母爱更多地是由社会规则而非个人设计塑造的，与民俗信息相比，更少寻求专业建议作为指导。美国母亲倾向于在核心家庭环境中抚养婴儿，而韩国母亲则在大家庭或至少在高度社会化的环境中抚养婴儿。讨论了对为韩国移民妇女提供围产期护理的美国护士的影响。
In both the United States and Korea, culture heavily influences a mother's behavior toward her infant. Differences between these two cultures are explored, based on the author's experiences and work in both environments. This comparison includes a number of points of departure. The American culture encourages autonomous and independent behaviors from infants, whereas in the Korean culture, mothers tend to view infants as passive and dependent. American mothering is individually fashioned and relies on the expertise of health care providers. Conversely, the Korean culture is highly ritualistic, so mothering is molded more by societal rules than by individual design, and professional advice is less sought for guidance than is folklore information. American mothers tend to rear their infants in a nuclear family setting, whereas Korean mothers rear their infants in an extended family or at least in a highly social environment. Implications for American nurses who provide perinatal care for Korean immigrant women are discussed.
