Projections for the year 2030 show that Latinos are expected to make the largest population increase. Cultural values create expectation levels about what will happen to the elderly. Acculturation is a concept that has been studied extensively, yet the relationship between age and acculturation has not been a focus of study. The present study has proposed an alternate way of scoring the ARSMA-II based on receiver operating characteristics. Specifically, this approach looks at participants' responses to two individual items to determine the level of acculturation of the older adults. It is a quicker method and one that could save healthcare providers a great deal of time as well as help them better understand their clients' level of acculturation; thus, being able to provide the appropriate educational materials.
对2030年的预测表明,预计拉丁裔人口增长幅度最大。文化价值观塑造了人们对老年人未来状况的期望水平。文化适应是一个已被广泛研究的概念,但年龄与文化适应之间的关系尚未成为研究重点。本研究提出了一种基于接受者操作特征对ARSMA-II进行评分的替代方法。具体而言,该方法通过考察参与者对两个单独项目的回答来确定老年人的文化适应水平。这是一种更快的方法,既能为医疗保健提供者节省大量时间,又能帮助他们更好地了解客户的文化适应水平,从而能够提供合适的教育材料。
