Asian Indian culturally diverse health practices

Abstract

Bicultural conflicts affect Asian Indian (AI) immigrants' mental health, particularly among women. Model minority status may compound the stigma of mental health issues adding another barrier to seeking help. Nurses aware of the tensions AI immigrant women face will be better able to communicate and appropriately address mental health needs.
