How would you perform a cultural assessment in a healthcare setting?

TOPIC:

  • How would you perform a cultural assessment in a healthcare setting?
  • Give an example of how you have identified and/or demonstrated cultural assessment or sensitivity.

Cultural Assessment

Our readings address the thought that an evidence-based foundation to facilitate the delivery of culturally competent family nursing care, may help to decrease health risks and disparities among vulnerable populations.

“Health defined by one cultural group may be different than that for another cultural group. For example, a child with a seizure disorder may be described as healthy and protected by higher powers in the H’mong culture, whereas the same child may be described as ill and disabled in a Western culture.” (Fadiman, 1997)

How would you perform a cultural assessment in a healthcare setting? Give an example of how you have identified and/or demonstrated cultural assessment or sensitivity.

Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why.

Analyze diversity considerations in health assessments

  • Apply concepts, theories, and principles related to examination techniques, functional assessments, and cultural and diversity awareness in health assessment

Post an explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned. Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks

Reflect on what aspects of each article is relevant to the community where you live.

The PROMOTING CULTURAL and LINGUISTIC COMPETENCY Self-Assessment Checklist for Personnel Providing Primary Health Care Services checklist is intended to heighten the awareness and sensitivity of health care givers to the importance of cultural and linguistic cultural competence in health, mental health and human service settings.
