Given the increasing population of Asian Americans in the United States, there is an urgent need for culturally and linguistically sensitive and appropriate research to validate research findings, particularly with respect to health care. Although increasing attention is being focused on ethnic minority-group studies, few research reports concentrate on research strategies with respect to Asian American populations. This article describes the importance of language in culturally informed research for ethnic minorities and explores the paradigm for Asian American research methods. Finally, this article makes use of six research projects to discuss practical issues that help produce culturally and linguistically appropriate research on Asian American populations. Cultural diversity issues in patient care need to be included in the health care-related curriculum. Cultural interpretation programs should be facilitated in hospital settings.
鉴于美国亚裔人口的不断增加，迫切需要进行文化和语言敏感且适当的研究，以验证研究结果，尤其是在医疗保健方面。尽管越来越多的人关注少数民族群体的研究，但很少有研究报告关注针对亚裔美国人的研究策略。本文描述了语言在少数民族文化知情研究中的重要性，并探讨了亚裔美国人研究方法的范例。最后，本文利用六个研究项目讨论了有助于针对亚裔美国人进行文化和语言适当研究的实际问题。患者护理中的文化多样性问题需要纳入与医疗保健相关的课程中。应在医院环境中促进文化解释计划。
