Concept analysis of acculturation in Filipino immigrants within health context

Reimund Serafica. Nurs Forum. 2011 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Although acculturation has been widely used as a health research variable among other immigrant populations, it is nonexistent to the Filipino immigrant population. Accurate assessment, measurement, and exploration of acculturation of Filipinos in the United States can help improve the overall health care of this population. The work of Walker and Avant is used as a guide to analyze and clarify the operational definition of acculturation of this group within the context of health.
