Immigrant caregivers face unique difficulties in self-care and caregiving practices in the United States. Our aim was to conduct an evaluation of the content of a training curriculum app designed for Chinese immigrant caregivers based on the Body-Mind-Spirit model. An app prototype was developed, and a sample content was examined by prospective users accessing it on their smartphones. Using a participatory design approach, 22 in-depth interviews were conducted with Chinese immigrant caregivers in Los Angeles in 2019, and feedback for spirituality content was sought from an independent expert. Caregivers provided feedback for three self-care categories-body, mind, and community resources-and two caregiving content categories-knowledge and skills, and community resources. From this feedback, five areas for designing training curriculum content emerged: caregiving stress, lifestyle and health behavior change, access to community resources, death education and end-of-life care, and spiritual care.
移民护工在美国的自我护理和护理实践中面临独特的困难。我们的目的是根据身心精神模型，对专为中国移民护工设计的培训课程应用程序的内容进行评估。开发了一个应用程序原型，并由使用智能手机访问它的潜在用户对样本内容进行了检查。使用参与式设计方法，2019 年在洛杉矶对 22 名中国移民护工进行了 22 次深入访谈，并向独立专家征求了有关精神内容的反馈。护工们对三个自我护理类别（身体、心理和社区资源）和两个护理内容类别（知识和技能以及社区资源）提供了反馈。根据这些反馈，为培训课程内容设计确定了五个领域：护理压力、生活方式和健康行为改变、社区资源的获取、死亡教育和临终关怀以及精神关怀。
