A Transcultural Strengths Assessment Interview Guide for Parent Caregivers

University of Nevada, Las Vegas

The Haley Transcultural Strengths Assessment interview guide for parent caregivers is an instrument for nurses and related health care providers to identify, better understand, and promote the development of strengths of parents for children with ongoing, complex health needs. Assisting these caregivers to build on their strengths, as identified through their own cultural perspective, is crucial not only to promote their health and well-being, but also to the quality of care they deliver to their child. The development of the instrument is discussed. The interview guide and description of how to use it are presented. This is a versatile instrument that may be used across cultures in the home or clinical setting, or in research. It frames the strengths of the parent caregiver, so these strengths can be encouraged and woven into the parent's life, promoting a positive sense of energy, empowerment, and harmony.

Key Words: strength • medically fragile • assessment • children • parents
