The Chinese immigrant community faces multiple barriers to quality cancer care and cancer survivorship. The clinical effectiveness of meaning-centered psychotherapy (MCP) has not been studied in racial and ethnic minority populations for whom the concept of “meaning” may likely differ from that of Westernized White populations. This chapter describes a community needs study to inform the cultural adaptation of MCP for Chinese patients with advanced cancer in accordance with Bernal et al.’s ecological validity model and the cultural adaptation process model of Domenech-Rodriquez and Weiling. It also describes key strengths and suggested areas of focus in adapting MCP for Chinese immigrant patients.

American Immigrant

Every year, in North American immigrant communities, thousands of infants experience separations from their parents when left or sent to live with extended family overseas. The practice of transnational, temporary boarding is widespread and poorly understood. This practice has been documented in North American Chinese, South Asian, Caribbean, and Filipino communities. This custom has raised concerns among child developmentalists and clinicians about potentially harmful consequences to children and parents. However, such separations may be misunderstood and prone to unnecessary stigma based on a lack of cultural appreciation. This chapter examines motives for and repercussions of separating parents and infants for extensive periods of time. The authors contextualize their analysis within a framework of stress management during the process of settlement and acculturation and consider the protective benefits of cultural values and practices in addition to risks. They use the Chinese immigrant community as an exemplar for the proposed framework.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess knowledge of and barriers to osteopathic medicine in Chinese immigrant communities in New York City (NYC).DesignA cross-sectional study was designed in which a culturally appropriate survey in Chinese and English versions was administered anonymously to measure immigrant perceptions and knowledge of osteopathic medicine.SettingData collection occurred in the municipal delineations for the Chinatown neighbourhood within the New York, New York borough of Manhattan.ParticipantsCommunity members were selected using convenience sampling from high-density areas to participate. Information gathered from the survey included demographics, education level, healthcare habits and knowledge of the osteopathic profession.Results120 surveys were conducted with 68 males and 52 females, with an average age=40. Respondents in the age range of 18–29 years, those with fluent English-language proficiency, and participants with graduate-level education status demonstrated a higher proportion of knowledge of osteopathic manipulative medicine and osteopathic physicians (doctors of osteopathic medicine) among the study variables.ConclusionCompared with research on the general US population, a general lack of knowledge of osteopathic medicine exists within NYC’s Chinese immigrant community. Although this difference may be ascribed to linguistics and ethnosociological factors, greater outreach and education is needed in urban minority communities to make immigrants aware of all healthcare resources available during the current shortage of US primary care physicians.

Ethnic Chinese

Early Chinese immigrants in America centered on the Chinatown, which had fixed blocks and scope of activities. The distinguishing features of its ethnic culture and economy were formed by the ethnic Chinese immigrants who dwelt there. The Chinatown has become identified with the early Chinese immigrants and become one of the most unique residential areas for any ethnic group. Ever since the 1965 amendments to the American Immigration and Nationality Act, however, new Chinese arrivals no longer inhabit Chinatowns after they reach the United States. Without stationary blocks and scopes of activities, new Chinese immigrant communities have become enclaves accommodating multiple ethnic groups instead of one particular ethnicity. These communities are closely connected to a variety of ethnic features and have a tremendously different appearance from that of Chinatown. This transformation is still in progress and has been widely-considered by many scholars researching overseas ethnic Chinese immigrants. Flushing, in New York, is the largest Chinese immigrant community in the twenty-first century. This essay takes it as a case study to look into the evolution of Chinese immigrant communities in the United States. 早期美國華人移民以唐人街為中心，它有固定的街區，一定的活動範圍。老移民住在這個範圍內，形成它鮮明的族裔文化和經濟特色，贏得了早期華人移民的認同，成為美國最具特色的族裔聚居區之一。自1965年新移民法修改後，新移民移入美國，不再以唐人街為居住區域，新華人移民社區無固定的街區，無固定的活動範圍，無單一的族裔聚集區，甚或是多族裔聚集的區域，靠著族裔特色融匯在一起，與過去的唐人街特色迥異，這種改變正在持續中，也是現今研究海外華人的學者關注的課題。本文欲藉由21世紀全球最大的華人移民社區—紐約的法拉盛（Flushing） 為例，探討美國華人移民社區的演變。 (This article is in English).
