Problem-Specific Data

Different models can be applied in providing culturally responsive care to Filipino Americans.

Panos and Panos (2000) developed a culturally sensitive assessment process that focuses on several domains:

• Physician awareness of his or her own cultural identity
• Identification of patient’s cultural orientation, belief system, level of acculturation and language preference
• Assessing patient’s stress and adaptive coping and functioning
• Determining patient’s family relationships and support system
• Assessing patient’s views on and concepts of health and illness
