研究表明,亚太裔人是洛杉矶郡增长最快的群体之一。 1 其中,亚太裔老年人数占亚洲群体的18%,并且与洛杉矶郡其他族群相比,拥有最长的寿命(平均85.9岁)。 2 因此,老年群体对居家看护服务的需求也在增长。此外,据报告,在美国,亚太裔老年人的家庭是因为语言障碍而最孤立的群体。 3所以,亚太裔的老年人急需更加符合他们文化上和语言的看护服务,并且最好是亚太裔的看护来提供。

但是,证据表明,亚太裔的看护们,因为文化障碍、语言不通,比起其他族群更少地使用一些专业的帮助。 4 与此同时,亚太裔的看护者比起其他种族更容易得抑郁症或者相关的焦虑症,也更容易受压力的影响,从而降低看护质量。 5 因此,我们希望通过教育和培训,能够帮助亚太裔看护们缓解这一孤立无援的状况,提供支持,帮助他们提高照顾的质量。
