“…The review found that although the GAI has been translated into Chinese and used with older Chinese people living in mainland China (Lin et al ., ), it has not been used with older Chinese immigrants. There were also very limited data on anxiety among older Chinese immigrants, with only one unpublished report being identified.…”

“…A systematic review by Lin, Bryant, Boldero, and Dow (2015) used search terms of Chinese, older adults, family relationships, filial piety, and conflicts to explore the relationship between Chinese parents and children and concluded that intergenerational differences exist in traditional values and beliefs. These conflicts and confusion between generations may hinder honest communication of ACP among Chinese family members.…”

The purpose of this research is to explore behavioral, normative, and control beliefs in the discussion of advance care planning (ACP) among older and younger Chinese Americans. Ethnic minority groups have been identified as less engaged in ACP and this represents an ethnic and cultural gap. Older Chinese American adults often have different beliefs and values compared to the younger generation who are more acculturated to American mainstream culture. These differences may hinder the discussion of ACP with Chinese older adults.A qualitative design was used. The Theory of Planned Behavior guided the development of the interview guide. We recruited 60 Chinese Americans. Prior experience was identified as a theme that influenced attitudes about ACP. We found that older and younger Chinese participants had different beliefs in the norm and control related to ACP discussions, but not in the belief of attitudes about ACP discussions. Both younger and older Chinese American participants believed that ACP was important and necessary. Participants in both clusters expressed that they were ready and willing to engage in ACP discussions with their family members but hesitant to initiate these discussions. The reluctance in discussing ACP with Chinese older adults may be related to the expectations and obligations of Xiao (filial piety) in Chinese culture. This study describes the similarities and differences of beliefs in ACP between older and younger Chinese Americans. We identified barriers and facilitators in behavioral, normative, and control beliefs that can be used to promote ACP for Chinese Americans.

“…Qualitative findings throughout these articles illuminated pertinent issues affecting some reunified Asian families in New Zealand, such as heightened family tensions and dissatisfaction with living arrangements . A possible reason behind the impact of suboptimal family relationships on older Chinese immigrants is their higher level of filial expectations, when compared to older Caucasians . The international literature indicates altered family relationships between older Chinese immigrants and their adult children, in the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Australia and Canada .…”

Nevertheless, studies showed that older Asian immigrants’ relationships with their adult children can become more harmonious, provided acculturative adjustments are made upon relocation …”

Challenges and adjustments in maintaining health and well‐being of older Asian immigrants in New Zealand: An integrative review

et al. 2019

Objective There is a paucity of health‐related research on older Asian immigrants in New Zealand. The aim of this review was to critically examine literature on the health and well‐being of this population group. Methods An integrative literature review was conducted from December 2017 to February 2018. Online databases searched were Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL and the Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre. Results Two themes were identified: Firstly, the “challenges stemming from an unfamiliar environment” faced by older Asian immigrants, and secondly, their “strategies for adjusting to a new home.” These themes suggested how participation in community and leisure activities, as well as adapting their outlook on life, contributed to these older migrants’ health and well‐being within a New Zealand context. Conclusion A multitude of challenges in maintaining health and well‐being confronted these older Asian immigrants; nevertheless, they created strategies to respond and positively influence their health following later‐life migration.
