The Impact of Social Determinants of Health and Acculturation on Quality of Life in Older Chinese American Adults With Chronic Pain: A Quantitative Study
Introduction:As of 2019, the United States houses 5.3 million Chinese Americans (CA), with 689,000 being older adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between social determinants of health (SDOH) and acculturation on quality of life in CA older adults, an underresearched area.Methods:Using a quantitative correlational descriptive design, CA older adults ( n = 110) in NYC with chronic pain were examined. Data were collected by utilizing the PRAPARE Screening Tool, Asian American Acculturation Scale, and SF-12 Questionnaire.Results:Regression revealed a negative correlation between SDOH and quality of life ( p = .001). The acculturation’s impact was nonsignificant ( p = .647).Discussion:While SDOH significantly impacted the quality of life, acculturation did not significantly predict the quality of life for older Chinese American adults with chronic pain. Further research is warranted to explore the nuanced dynamics between acculturation, SDOH, and quality of life in this population.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
