据估计，到2009年，西班牙裔美国人的出生率将是美国所有少数族裔中最高的。西班牙育龄妇女的文化适应是研究人员和临床医生需要考虑的一个关键方面。本文讨论了文化适应的概念化和测量问题。本文为复杂的文化适应研究提供了一个框架。在文章的后半部分，回顾了围产期研究，其中包括西班牙裔妇女的文化适应测量，总结了出生体重，母乳喂养和产后抑郁的研究。由于本文中确定的围产期文化适应研究的方法学局限性，对西班牙裔妇女临床实践的影响受到阻碍。
It is estimated that by 2009, Hispanics will have the highest birthrates for any minority group in the United States. Acculturation in Hispanic women of childbearing age is a critical aspect that researchers and clinicians need to consider with this population. Conceptualization and measurement issues of acculturation are addressed in this article. A framework for the complex task of acculturation research is presented. In the latter part of the article, a review of perinatal studies, in which measurement of acculturation in Hispanic women was included, is summarized for research on birthweight, breastfeeding, and postpartum depression. Implications for clinical practice with Hispanic women are hindered owing to methodological limitations of perinatal acculturation research identified in this article.
