Introduction: Asian Americans are at heightened risk for type 2 diabetes, yet research on cultural and intergenerational dynamics remains limited. Methods: Guided by Family Systems Theory and Leininger’s Transcultural Nursing Theory, this cross-sectional study examined diabetes knowledge and family support in 102 Chinese and Filipino American dyads (parent with diabetes + adult child) in Northern California. Results: Using the Diabetes Knowledge …

The Role of Filial Piety in Dyadic Recruitment of Chinese American Parents With Type 2 Diabetes and Their Adult Children
INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is prevalent among Asian Americans, yet limited health care studies report on the recruitment and retention of this population. This study focuses on recruiting Chinese American dyads for family support of T2D management. METHOD: This is a descriptive study using active and passive recruitment strategies. Dyads consist of parents with T2D and their adult children without diabetes. All materials are culturally t…
Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Japanese Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care
The Japanese cultural adaptation of the Australian Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care (J-EAT) was developed for use in Japan's small-scale living facilities. This study aimed to validate the J-EAT. Twenty-five dementia care experts (7 gerontologists and 18 facility care workers) participated in assessing J-EAT content validity. The final version of J-EAT contained 81 items; of those, 74 met the CVI threshold for relevance. The findings ind…
Small-Scale Living Environments' Impact on Positive Behaviors and Quality of Life for Residents with Dementia
This study explored the relationship of the environment in small-scaled nursing homes and positive behaviors on the residents' quality of life (QOL). The Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care was used to evaluate unit environments. Dementia Care Mapping was used to observe 113 residents' positive behaviors. Hierarchical linear modeling analysis showed that residents living in a dementia-friendly environment showed a significant correlation be…
Three-Nation Comparison of Content Validity of the Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care
This study reports on the cultural adaptation of the Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care (EAT-HC) in Germany, Japan, and Singapore. The purpose is to compare the content validity assessment, focusing on common and unique challenges encountered by each nation. In Germany, the security through environmental safety features and segregation of residents is highly debatable. Japan's challenge is for gerontologists to work closely with facility d…
