This document discusses transcultural nursing care for children. It notes that culture influences child development, health, and illness. Nurses must consider the ethnic and cultural trends of children in the US as well as their health issues and socioeconomic determinants of health. Transcultural nursing can help influence policy to address children's health needs. Nurses should assess families' cultural backgrounds and beliefs to provide culturally competent care. However, not all families of a cultural group strictly follow the larger culture's practices, as individual differences and acculturation impact each family uniquely.

1. The document discusses transcultural perspectives in childbearing and outlines key cultural factors that impact pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. These include biological variations, cultural beliefs, fertility practices, and traditions surrounding activity, diet, and roles during and after delivery. 2. Nursing care should be culturally competent and respectful of different beliefs, traditions, and practices. Assessments should consider a woman's cultural background and nurses should form trusting relationships to provide effective care. 3. Cultural factors like prescriptive and restrictive beliefs around a mother's behaviors during pregnancy can impact outcomes and may lead to guilt if complications occur. Understanding these beliefs is important for nursing care.

Chapter 8: Transcultural Perspectives in the Nursing Care of Older Adults Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 1 Transcultural Perspectives in the Nursing Care of Older Adults #1 Longer life spans and the aging Baby Boomer generation will lead to a large population of older adults aged 65 years old and older who will seek health services. Delivering culturally appropriate care to clients is set by how available and affordable national, state, and local health care resources are for older adults. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 2 There are three areas of influences for older adults that guide their help-seeking behaviors: Societal and economic factors; affordability and accessibility Cultural values, practices, patterns of caregiving, and available community resources Family, individual lifestyles, health, and coping behaviors Transcultural Perspectives in the Nursing Care of Older Adults #2 Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 3 The Older Adult in Contemporary Society: Factors Affecting Health Care Societal level Demographics: ethnicity and income level, low literacy Socioeconomic status: fixed income, increased health-related expenses, delayed retirement Theories of Aging: explain patterns of behavior Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 4 Question #1 Is the following statement true or false?

Chapter 11: Culture, Family, and Community Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 1 Community-Based Settings #1 An understanding of culture and cultural concepts contributes to the nurse’s knowledge and facilitates culturally competent nursing care in community-based settings. Nurses are moving from acute care to community-based settings. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 2 Community-Based Settings #2 Concepts such as partnership, collaboration, empowerment, and facilitation now form the basis for community-based nursing practice with individuals, families, and aggregates in the community. An aggregate is a collection of people who can be thought of as a whole simply because they happen to be in the same place at the same time. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 3 Community-Based Settings #3 Community-based collaborative action research (CBCAR) is an approach for nurses to partner with communities to address health issues. Care that is not congruent with the client’s value system is likely to increase the cost of care because it compromises quality and inhibits access to services. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 4 Overview of Culturally Competent Nursing Care in Community Settings The use of cultural knowledge in community-based nursing practice begins with a careful assessment of clients and families in their own environments. Cultural data are discussed with the client and family to develop mutually shared goals. Nurses must take into account the diverse cultural factors that will motivate clients to make successful changes in lifestyle and behavioral modifications. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 5 A Transcultural Framework Cultural/social/ecological approach: Nursing focus is on the community as client. A cultural/social/ecological framework facilitates a view of the community as a complex collective yet allows for diversity within the whole.

Culture provides the framework that is used to interpret “the experience and expression of the symptoms, signs, and behaviors that are criteria for diagnosis” (p. 14) Cultural norms shape what is considered normal versus abnormal. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 3 Defining Mental Health Within a Transcultural Nursing Perspective #1 According to the World Health Organization (2013): “… there is no health without mental health.” “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Determinants of mental health at any given point in time: “social, psychological and biological factors.” Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 4 Defining Mental Health Within a Transcultural Nursing Perspective #2 Transcultural nurses should: Understand patterns of values, beliefs, and practices for mental health care Avoid stereotypes and ethnocentrism Be aware of “norms” Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 5 Question #1 Is the following statement true or false? Ethnocentrism can manifest as feelings of superiority or discrimination with respect to one’s own group or culture over another group or culture. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 6 Answer to Question #1 True Rationale: Ethnocentrism presents as subconscious disregard for cultural differences; it may also present as authoritative.

This document discusses the debate around shared parenting and overnighting for young children in the context of parental separation or divorce. It summarizes the shift in scientific consensus from the 1970s-1990s towards recognizing the importance of children maintaining relationships with both parents, including fathers. However, controversy emerged again in 2011 with an article that advocated designating a primary caregiver and restricting overnights for children under 4. In response, Warshak issued a consensus report in 2014 with the review and endorsement of 110 researchers and practitioners analyzing over 40 years of research. The report reaffirmed the scientific consensus that shared parenting and overnighting are generally best for young children's development when circumstances are normal.

Creating a more diverse health care workforce has value for the people being served and the health care organization from the perspective of its employees and leaders. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved 2 Diversity in the Nursing Workforce #2 Nursing has become increasingly diverse in age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, and educational preparation. Nurses from minority backgrounds account for 19% of the RN workforce. Men represent 9.6% of the nursing workforce. Men in nursing attain higher wages and faster promotions than do women. Currently employed RNs are nearing or have exceeded retirement age, fewer RNs between 36 and 45 years old.

In many countries, an unacceptable number of women die in childbirth or shortly after giving birth. As discussed by Dr. Leslie Mancuso in this week’s first media presentation, culture and religious beliefs influence childbirth practices. To prepare for this Discussion: Review Case 6, “Saving Mothers’ Lives in Sri Lanka.” Review Dr. Mancuso’s comments on cultural beliefs that influence maternal health. In addition, consider the following questions: What cultural and historical features of Sri Lanka contributed to the success of the country’s maternal health program? What are some assumptions that a person might make about you based on your appearance or cultural background? All cultural diversity is not about ethnicity, religious affiliation, or traditional backgrounds. When you consider what cultural issues affect you and/or your community, think about whether you represent diversity of another kind, such as; rural versus urban, east coast versus west coast, employed in a small hospital versus a large research center, or providing nursing practice to young versus elderly, acute care versus clinic care or mental health care. Each of these "types" of diversity contribute to you as a person and how you practice nursing. How might that affect the nursing care you receive? What cultural information would you want a nurse or doctor to know about you? What would you want a health promotion program to include that addresses a health concern for your cultural or ethnic community? .

Foster Care Essay

Krystal Ellison

The document discusses issues related to children in the foster care system. It notes that the number of children in foster care continues to increase annually with minimal efforts to address the root causes. There are also racial inconsistencies in foster care involvement. When in foster care, children often experience instability and may act out due to the changes in their lives. Maximizing accessibility to foster care resources could help provide more support to foster children, potentially leading to better mental health outcomes. Changes to policies around foster care could also help reduce uncertainty for children and allow for a greater focus on their well-being. Overall, more needs to be done to help the future by improving the foster care system and conditions for children within it.

This document summarizes a presentation on housing insecurity and its impact on young children's health. It finds that families struggling to pay rent or who are behind on rent payments face increased risks of food insecurity and difficulty meeting other basic needs. Children in these housing insecure families are more likely to experience poor health, developmental delays, and lower weight. While subsidized housing can help address these issues, many families still face long wait lists for assistance. The presentation calls for increased access to affordable housing and coordination of food and housing policies to protect children's well-being.

Issues of maternal and child health

Amandeep Jhinjar

Maternal and child health issues can be influenced by several factors such as lifestyle, socio-cultural aspects, nutrition, psychology, gender, sexuality, and maternal age. Key issues include maternal age increasing risks of pregnancy complications; gender discrimination affecting care for female babies; and nutrition playing a critical role in pregnancy outcomes but being impacted by poverty and busy schedules. Socio-cultural factors like religious beliefs, views of pregnancy, and concerns for modesty also influence maternal health behaviors and utilization of prenatal care services.

This document provides an overview of childhood, adolescence, and the current state of Filipino children. It defines childhood as the time for children to grow and learn with family support. Adolescence is the transition period between childhood and adulthood involving biological and psychological changes. The rights of children are outlined, including rights to education, health, and protection from harm. While laws aim to uphold these rights, many Filipino children still face challenges such as poverty, abuse, and lack of access to basic needs and education.

Mushtaq Khan

Malnutrition has many causes and consequences across all stages of life. It stunts growth, increases disease risk, and impacts cognitive development. Nearly half of under-5 deaths are due to undernutrition. The first 1000 days are critical for preventing stunting through breastfeeding, complementary foods, and maternal nutrition. A holistic, equitable, and multi-sectoral approach is needed to address the triple burden of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overnutrition.

Attachment is an emotional bond between an infant and caregiver that ensures the infant's survival. Mary Ainsworth's "Strange Situation" experiment identified patterns of attachment including secure, avoidant, ambivalent/resistant, and disorganized/disoriented. Factors like parental responsiveness and infant temperament influence attachment. Lack of attachment due to deprivation can harm development, as seen in studies of institutionalized children. Child abuse and neglect are prevalent issues with serious psychological effects. Autism spectrum disorders involve social and behavioral impairments. Daycare can have positive effects but small differences were found compared to home care. Emotional development in infants involves recognizing facial expressions and developing emotions.
