  • Title: This, that, and the other. Managing illness in a first-generation Korean-American family.
    Author: Chin SY.
    Journal: West J Med; 1992 Sep; 157(3):305-9. PubMed ID: 1413775.
    Abstract:
    The use of Western medicine and of holistic traditional medicine and healing rituals is common in Korean-American families with a chronically ill member. I present a case as an example of the complexity of health management in first-generation Korean-American immigrants. Immigration and acculturation issues, Confucian-related sociocultural and psychological factors, and the psychiatric diagnosis of Western specialists all elicited family conflict leading to emotional and physiologic distress.
