The goal of this cross-sectional study was to describe acculturation and characteristics of Korean American families. Self-reports were gathered from 106 families (105 mothers, 98 fathers, 106 adolescents) in the Midwest. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents maintained Korean cultural and linguistic characteristics while adopting some American cultural and linguistic features. The adoption of American culture and English was more evident among adolescents than their parents. The association between Korean American parents' acculturation attitudes and their characteristics were consistent with the acculturation framework. This information may provide basic understanding for health care providers who care for Korean American families.
这项横断面研究的目的是描述韩裔美国家庭的文化适应情况和特征。我们从美国中西部的106个家庭（105位母亲、98位父亲、106名青少年）收集了自我报告。母亲、父亲和青少年在保持韩国文化和语言特征的同时，也采用了一些美国文化和语言特征。青少年比他们的父母更明显地接受美国文化和英语。韩裔美国家长的文化适应态度与其特征之间的关联与文化适应框架一致。这些信息可为照顾韩裔美国家庭的医疗服务提供者提供基本的了解。
