Introduction:
The purpose of the study was to explore experiences of immigrant Asian Indian women with pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care in the United States.
Methodology:
This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using semi-structured interviews and followed COREQ (COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research) guidelines for reporting qualitative research. Nine immigrant Asian Indian mothers residing in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States participated in the study.
Results:
Four themes emerged: experiencing cultural differences during the perinatal period in the United States, choosing the best perinatal practices for maternal and infant care, recognizing family as the main support system, and having positive experiences with health care providers.
Discussion:
Findings of this study shed light on the need for culturally appropriate care, including proper assessment of Asian Indian mothers' sociocultural aspects and cultural preferences and provision of support and information needed during the perinatal period.
