Asian American immigrant women engaged in filial caregiving are at special risk for health problems due to complex contextual factors related to immigration, cultural traditions, and role transition. This study examines the experience of two groups of immigrant Asian American women who are caring for older parents. A total of 41 women (22 Chinese American and 19 Filipino American) were interviewed in a study based on Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. The women were determined to be loyal to their traditional culture, which included strong filial values, while adapting to a new culture. Through the struggle of meeting role expectations and coping with paradox, the women mobilized personal and family resources to transform vulnerability into strength and well-being.
由于与移民、文化传统和角色转变相关的复杂背景因素，从事孝道照顾的亚裔美国移民女性面临着特殊的健康问题风险。本研究考察了两组照顾年迈父母的亚裔美国移民女性的经历。在一项基于施特劳斯和科尔宾的扎根理论方法的研究中，共采访了41名女性（22名华裔美国人和19名菲律宾裔美国人）。这些女性决心在适应新文化的同时，忠于包括强烈孝道价值观在内的传统文化。通过努力满足角色期望和应对矛盾，这些女性调动个人和家庭资源，将脆弱性转化为力量和幸福。
