The purpose of this study was to describe types of upset experienced by mothers of infants who received apnea monitoring for 1 to 17 months. A 38-question, semistructured interview was used. Interrater reliability (90%) was established through analysis of 15 videotaped interviews and agreement on content analysis of 74 transcribed interviews. Results are discussed according to nine categories of upset identified by the mothers: (a) fear, (b) lack of credibility, (c) problems with the monitor, (d) disrupted family life, (e) emotional effects, (f) lack of support, (g) concerns for the infant, (h) unresolved problems, and (i) unhelpfulness of health professionals.

Central California has become a place of refuge and settlement for Southeast Asian Hmong immigrants over the past 20 years. The resulting assimilation of this new cultural group into American society has produced the need for multi-ethnic understanding and culturally sensitive health care interventions. Knowledge regarding the health care practices of Hmong parents provides the foundation for this understanding and an integrated and meaningful model of child care. This study of Hmong parents describes (a) their indigenous healing practices, (b) the purposes of these health care practices, (c) their beliefs about western medical care, and (d) their views on seeking western pediatric health care. A one-group descriptive design was used. Interview data from Hmong parents (N = 21) describes illness causation, healing rituals, herbal remedies, and other health care traditions.
