“…Bicultural efficacy is the belief, confidence, ability, or perceived expectations to handle challenges living in two cultures without compromising culture or self-identity. 42 This is critical, as studies have shown a positive association between bicultural efficacy with Asian Americans' health, as demonstrated in a meta-analysis of 141 studies. 43 With the cultural and health care challenges faced by Asian Americans, examining how to maintain family and social relationships, utilizing the health care system in the United States, and dealing with language and different lifestyles needs to be incorporated more in future programs and interventions.…”

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the leading causes of death among Asian Americans. Despite being a culturally diverse racial group with differences in history, language, religion, and values, Asian Americans are often viewed as a monolith. With the high prevalence rate of T2D, a careful examination of self-management interventions across Asian Americans is needed to develop effective and culturally sensitive interventions. Objective: To describe existing literature by examining study characteristics, different intervention components, and outcome measures of various T2D interventions among Asian Americans. Methods: Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework to ground this review, six online databases were used to identify studies. Results: A total of 18 publications were included. Thirteen studies were published after 2013, with 44% and 22% of these studies focused on Chinese Americans and Korean Americans. We found a lack of geographic diversity in the location of the studies. Majority of the participants were females. Most of the interventions were implemented in person. Licensed health care providers were the most common interventionists, with a number of studies using community health workers. Outcome measures focused on three key areas: physiological, psychosocial and behavioral, and program-related outcomes. Many of the studies measured changes in HbA1C, self-efficacy, distress, depression, and quality of life. Overall, we saw improvements in physiological measures in most of the studies. For example, majority of the studies showed a decline in the participants' HbA1C. Most studies showed an increase or improvement in healthy behaviors. Studies that measured efficacy, knowledge, attitude, motivation, quality of life, or general health showed improvement from baseline. All the studies that measured distress or depression showed a reduction of symptoms postintervention. Conclusion: Overall, we found that culturally tailored interventions that focus on specific Asian American subpopulations saw an improvement in physiological, psychosocial, or behavioral measures. There were several gaps in the existing T2D self-management programs or interventions among Asian Americans studied in the United States. Based on our analysis, we recommend when designing or implementing self-management interventions among Asian Americans, considerations should be made for targeted recruitment for understudied Asian American subgroups, gender, and location.
