Transracial/transcultural adoption is defined as a child of one race or ethnic group placed with parent(s) of a different race or ethnic group. An estimated 2 million children in the United States were identified as adopted in the 2010 census, and approximately one-fourth of these were transracial adoptions. Both a history of adoption and a strong ethnic or racial identity are specifically associated with health-related risk and protective factors for psychosocial, academic, and health behavior outcomes. A patient with a history of transracial adoption presents unique and important considerations for culturally responsive nursing care. This article begins with nursing practice considerations for transracially adoptive patients and provides an overview of epidemiology; relevant trauma informed nursing care;. laws and racial identity formation, and a mental model of health disparities to guide future directions. We synthesize information relevant to nursing care of individuals who are transracially adopted and racial/ethnic identity formation, including socialization and a merging model to conceptualize identities. The article also discusses principles of trauma informed care and health disparities and future improvements in the context of this population.
跨种族/跨文化收养是指一个种族或族裔群体的孩子被安置在不同种族或族裔群体的父母身边。2010 年的人口普查显示，美国约有 200 万名儿童被认定为被收养儿童，其中约四分之一是跨种族收养。收养历史和强烈的族裔或种族认同都与心理社会、学业和健康行为结果的健康相关风险和保护因素密切相关。有跨种族收养史的患者需要特别注意文化响应式护理。本文首先介绍了跨种族收养患者的护理实践注意事项，并概述了流行病学；相关的创伤知情护理；法律和种族认同形成，以及健康差异的心理模型，以指导未来的方向。我们综合了与跨种族收养者和种族/族裔认同形成相关的护理信息，包括社会化和融合模型来概念化身份。本文还讨论了创伤知情护理和健康差异的原则，并在这一人群的背景下讨论了未来的改进。
