Intergenerational conflict occurs when immigrant parents hold different values from those of their more rapidly acculturating offspring. These conflicts frequently involve disparate views related to sex roles and reproduction. A community-based study of 19 immigrant Haitian parent-adolescent pairs in South Florida compared their attitudes and values about sexuality and reproduction. Data were obtained through focused, open-ended interviews. Content analysis procedures at the level of words and phrases facilitated the categorization of responses. Data revealed considerable differences between parents and adolescents about the sources and types of information learned about reproduction and contraception, when such information is learned, and expectations regarding premarital sexual intercourse. Both parents and adolescents lacked accurate biomedical information about contraception, placed responsibility for contraceptive use primarily on the female partner, considered reproduction a natural rather than a medical event, and believed parents have the major responsibility for educating children about reproduction and contraception. Implications for culturally-appropriate health care center on increasing the role of the public health nurse in health education, minimizing intergenerational and intercultural conflict, and engaging the Haitian immigrant community in the promotion of reproductive health.
当移民父母所持价值观与更快适应文化的子女不同时,就会产生代际冲突。这些冲突常常涉及与性别角色和生育相关的不同观点。一项针对南佛罗里达州19对海地移民父母与青少年的社区研究,比较了他们对性与生育的态度和价值观。数据通过有针对性的开放式访谈获取。在单词和短语层面的内容分析程序有助于对回答进行分类。数据显示,父母与青少年在关于生育和避孕的信息来源及类型、何时获取此类信息以及对婚前性行为的期望等方面存在显著差异。父母和青少年都缺乏关于避孕的准确生物医学信息,主要将避孕责任归于女性伴侣,认为生育是自然而非医疗事件,并且认为父母在教育孩子关于生育和避孕方面负有主要责任。对文化适宜的医疗保健的启示集中在增强公共卫生护士在健康教育中的作用、减少代际和跨文化冲突,以及让海地移民社区参与促进生殖健康。
