Older Adults in Different Ethnic and Cultural Contexts
This section describes intergroup and intragroup differences in how older adults’ life experiences will shape their responses in seeking health care. Some older adults experienced living through the Depression, seeing the invention of television, computers, and video teleconferences, migrating to find employment, and fighting in an international conflict. European Americans in their 90s may have been young adults fleeing Poland or Germany before World War II. Older Southeast Asian adults in their 60s may have fled Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam when conflict and political unrest enclosed around them. Political refugees from countries in East Africa and immigrants from Eastern bloc nations who have lived through civil wars and political revolution could well have depleted their coping mechanisms as younger adults fleeing their homeland. As a newer wave of older adult immigrants, they may experience adjustment problems that warrant care in the health and mental health care system, but at the same time they may distrust the system or have no previous experience in seeking health care. Nurses who are providing care to clients whose background differs from their own are usually sensitive to assessing the client’s culture. Individuals who have immigrated from the same country or region will differ in their needs and in the ways that their cultural background influences their health- and illness-related actions. These differences are based on a number of factors:
• Regional or religious identity
• Situation in their homeland that may have prompted them to emigrate
• Length of time they have spent in the United States including degree of acculturation,
• Proximity to immediate family or extended family members, • Network of friends and social support from their homeland, and/or
• Link with ethnic, social, and health-related institutions.
In the total Hispanic American population, persons of Mexican descent are most numerous (54%), Cubans represent 14.

How culture influences health beliefs
All cultures have systems of health beliefs to explain what causes illness, how it can be cured or treated, and who should be involved in the process. The extent to which patients perceive patient education as having cultural relevance for them can have a profound effect on their reception to information provided and their willingness to use it. Western industrialized societies such as the United States, which see disease as a result of natural scientific phenomena, advocate medical treatments that combat microorganisms or use sophisticated technology to diagnose and treat disease. Other societies believe that illness is the result of supernatural phenomena and promote prayer or other spiritual interventions that counter the presumed disfavor of powerful forces.Cultural issues play a major role in patient compliance. One study showed that a group of Cambodian adults with minimal formal education made considerable efforts to comply with therapy but did so in a manner consistent with their underlying understanding of how medicines and the body work.
Asians/Pacific Islanders are a large ethnic group in the United States. There are several important cultural beliefs among Asians and Pacific Islanders that nurses should be aware of. The extended family has significant influence, and the oldest male in the family is often the decision maker and spokesperson. The interests and honor of the family are more important than those of individual family members. Older family members are respected, and their authority is often unquestioned. Among Asian cultures, maintaining harmony is an important value; therefore, there is a strong emphasis on avoiding conflict and direct confrontation. Due to respect for authority, disagreement with the recommendations of health care professionals is avoided. However, lack of disagreement does not indicate that the patient and family agree with or will follow treatment recommendations. Among Chinese patients, because the behavior of the individual reflects on the family, mental illness or any behavior that indicates lack of self-control may produce shame and guilt. As a result, Chinese patients may be reluctant to discuss symptoms of mental illness or depression.
Some sub-populations of cultures, such as those from India and Pakistan, are reluctant to accept a diagnosis of severe emotional illness or mental retardation because it severely reduces the chances of other members of the family getting married. In Vietnamese culture, mystical beliefs explain physical and mental illness. Health is viewed as the result of a harmonious balance between the poles of hot and cold that govern bodily functions. Vietnamese don’t readily accept Western mental health counseling and interventions, particularly when self-disclosure is expected. However, it is possible to accept assistance if trust has been gained.

Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especial.docxdebishakespeare
Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especially when providing care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. The population of the United States comprises various ethnic/racial groups with different cultural and social beliefs, practice, norms, and values. There is an increasing disparities on the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes among different communities in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hispanics and African Americans have the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the country (Concha, Mayer, Mezuk, & Avula, 2016). Caring for patients from different ethnic/racial groups require consideration of ethical principles and concepts to prevent ethical issues that may arise during nurse-patient interaction.
Recently, I cared for patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been hospitalized for more than two weeks due to acute hypertension, partial loss of vision. Also, the patient had a chronic diabetic foot ulcer. The analysis of his medical history revealed that the diabetic foot ulcer had developed in the last two years and had never healed. The patient was so worried about his health status and kept asking when he was going to be discharged from the hospital. The patient came from the Hispanic community, which is one of minority groups with the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the country. Being a culturally competent registered nurse, I had an obligation to take into account the specific ethnic background of the patient when providing care. Considering patient’s ethnic/racial background is important in providing quality, holistic, and patient-centered care based their health concerns, preferences, and values (Concha et al., 2016).
When collecting subjective data for analysis and planning for the care. I asked the patient about his perceptions about the possible causes of type 2 diabetes that he was suffering from. Hispanics have different beliefs in the causation of diabetes mellitus (Frieden, 2016). First, the patient believed that diabetes is a temporary condition that is not fatal. Second, the patient narrated a story that attempts to identify the cause of diabetes and concluded that they believe that people with “good diabetes” do not experience a lot of complications. The Hispanics use the term “good diabetes” when referring to the type of diabetes that do not require insulin for therapeutic purposes; non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Frieden, 2016). Also, the patient had a fatalistic attitude and believed that his health condition is likely to be a punishment from God.
The patient had a low health literacy level because caregivers had encouraged him to engage in some physical exercise and adopt a self-management approach as a way of controlling and preventing complications related to his condition, but he never implemented them. Also, the pat.

Health inequity is a serious healthcare problem that negatively affects everyone. This problem worsens the health outcomes of the population it directly impacts and those with resources and power. For instance, health disparity makes it hard to control, contain and treat infections illnesses, like the Covid-19, therefore putting everyone at risk of contracting the disease regardless of their socioeconomic class. Culture plays a critical role in patient care and health outcomes and affects our perception of others, health behaviors, and expectations during care delivery. This paper discusses health inequalities, advocacy for families, patients, and community, and cultural competencies. Comment by lola siyanbola: Can you explain how?
Health inequalities involve differences in health resources' distribution of health between different population groups resulting from social conditions in which members of the population are born, live, grow, work and age. The inequalities are basically the systematic differences in the status of health between population groups (Marmot, 2017). The inequalities have substantial economic and social costs to both persons and communities. Social factors including employment status, education level, gender, ethnicity, and level of income affect an individual's health status, therefore creating health disparities among populations due to variations of the social factors (Malbon, 2019). Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poor health outcomes. The appropriate combination of government policies can address these health disparities. Comment by lola siyanbola: This is a fact can you rephrase or cite Comment by lola siyanbola: This is too vague, can you elaborate a little?
I would advocate for patients by connecting them with resources outside and inside the hospital to support their wellbeing and double-check for errors to identify, stop, and correct errors to ensure their safety (Doucette et al., 2018). I would educate the patients on the best way to manage their health conditions and improve their quality of life. Protecting patients' rights and giving them a voice, particularly when vulnerable, is key to safe and quality patient care. I would advocate for families by utilizing my expertise to persuade the hospital authorities about the economic position of the family, their educational level, and their cultural values about patient care. I would advocate for the community by working to ensure community members are adequately and fairly treated in all matters of health.

Restoring balance through cultural safety & the medicine wheelgriehl
North American culture sees health as an individual problem, but we live in dynamic, intercultural communities. Health is multifaceted with issues related to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Our culture can be a barrier to caring for our clients. Each area of the medicine wheel needs to be balanced for wholistic health for the client, where the client is the person, family, group, or community. Indigenous teachings support addressing all areas of the person to achieve balance. Cultural safety stresses the importance of reflection and acceptance of differences. We should not treat everyone the same, but we do need to recognize and acknowledge our blind spots.

A Patient Educator in A Hospital
Introduction
Nursing is not all about giving medications or treating patients. It is the responsibility of the nurses to educate patients on how to prevent illnesses and how to manage certain medical conditions. Nurses can do these by interacting and communicating with patients. By doing this, they will help patients understand how to take control of their health care. When patients take part in their health care, they are likely to change their behaviors and do things that are likely to improve their general health.
My role and the environment I will utilize for teaching
According to Burke and Mancuso (2012), learning is very important in any nursing environment. Effective education of patients happens from the time they are admitted at the hospital and goes on until the patients are discharged from the hospital. For out-patients, I will educate them during their waiting time. As a nurse I will take every opportunity I will come across during the patients’ visit to the hospital and throughout their admission in the hospital to educate them about their health care. I will provide patients with instructions to follow on self-care and how to maintain certain problems. Some of the self-care instructions include;
· How to follow the steps of self-care
· How to know early signs of certain illnesses
· How to go about emergency problems
· Who to contact in case of problems
The intended audience
I will educate people of all populations in my education program regardless of their age, culture, illness, ethnicity, and gender. General education will be provided to all patients on how to take care of themselves when they leave the hospital. This important because sometimes patients go home, neglect themselves, resume their unhealthy practices, and forget to manage their medical conditions. For patients suffering from diabetes, I will educate and provide them with instructions on how to inject themselves with insulin. For new mothers, they will learn how to take care of their new born babies and how to bath the infants. I will provide instructions on how to change a colostomy pouching system for the concerned patients.
The Social Cognitive Learning Theory
Key points of the theory
This theory concentrates on the impacts of social factors on a person’s thinking, perception and motivation. According to the social cognition theory, a patient must have different perspectives, approaches, and reactions to situations in the health care environment. The players in the health care setting would be expected to have different perceptions, interpretations, and responses to a situation that are strongly colored by their social and cultural experiences (Braungart, Braungart, & Gramet, 2008).

Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

1.
2. 1. Identify social determinants of health
2. Define culture
3. List elements of culture
4. Determine the impact of culture on health
5. Distinguish between collectivistic and individualistic cultures
6. Discuss components of cross-cultural health care
communication
7. Outline skills of culturally competent public health practitioner
8. Provide examples of body language across different cultures
3. Health is a fundamental concept and is a
significant part of our living.
There are different interpretations of
health by different groups and societies.
According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), “Health is a state of
complete physical, mental and social well-
being and not merely absence of disease.”
4. There are many factors (e.g genetic, behavioral, environmental) that influence
health. These are called determinants of health.
Social and cultural environments have a big impact on our health. These are
called socio-cultural determinants of health.
Conditions such as
Poverty
Poor education
Food insecurity
Bad housing conditions
Major determining social factors of inequality both among and within countries in
terms of health, disease occurrence and premature deaths.
Improper sanitation
Unemployment
Unsecure and hazardous working
places
Lack of access to health care
5. • Culture comprises of different beliefs, perceptions, behaviors which are shared
among the members of society, it gives direction to a person whether something
is right or wrong.
• Culture influences the decisions taken by an individual in various ways and
therefore it is necessary to understand the person’s cultural background to
communicate effectively with him
Examples of how culture affects the health behavior of an individual. Studies in
different cultures found that:
1. 45% of adults believed that illness was caused due to the ‘will of god’
2. 26% believed that past evils were the reason for causing T.B
3. 48% believed that ghost intrusion leads to epilepsy
4. 36% believed that ‘fate’ is the reason for causing a disease.
6. Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people
are born, grow, live, work and age. They include factors like
socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood and physical
environment, employment, and social support networks, as well as
culture and access to health care
A study found that medical care itself only accounted for 10–20% of
the contributors to people’s health outcomes. By contrast, the
many social determinants of health play a much bigger role in
influencing a person’s health, making up 80–90% of the contributing
factors.
7.
8. This group encompasses a person’s access to healthcare and
its quality.
Factors include:
Access to primary healthcare
Health insurance coverage
Health literacy
Income to purchase medications and lab tests
9. This refers to the link between a person’s finances and
their health.
Examples of factors are:
Poverty
Employment
Food security
Housing stability
How can economic stability achieved by employment?
10. This category focuses on the connection between a person’s
access to education and its quality, and their health.
Examples include:
Secondary education
Higher education
Language and literacy
Childhood development
11. This group revolves around the ways a person lives, works,
plays, and learns and how these relate to the person’s
health.
Factors include:
Civic participation
Discrimination
Detention
Conditions within a workplace
12. This group considers a person’s housing and environment
and the role they play in the person’s health.
Factors include:
Quality of housing
Transportation
Access to healthy foods
Water quality
Crime and violence
13. Culture is the patterns of ideas, customs and behaviors shared by a particular
people or society. These patterns identify members as part of a group and
distinguish members from other groups.
What are the elements of culture?
Values, Beliefs, attitudes and lifestyle behaviors
Customs: Holidays, clothing, greetings, typical rituals and activities.
Marriage and Family: Type of marriage (i.e. arranged, free, same sex, etc.)
Geographic origin
Food
Economy and Trade
Art/drama/music
Language.
Faith/Religion.
14. Culture has been described as an iceberg, with its most
powerful features hidden under the ocean surface.
Explicit cultural elements are often obvious but possibly
less influential than the unrecognized elements
providing ballast below.
The cultural continuum
Culture is commonly divided into two
broad categories at opposite ends of a
continuum: collectivistic or individualistic.
Most cultures fall somewhere between the
two poles, with characteristics of both.
Also, within any given culture, individual
variations range across the spectrum.
15. Characteristics of collectivistic and individualistic cultures
Collectivistic Individualistic
Focus on the group “we” Focus on the individual “I”
Responsibility for the family and extended
family
Value autonomy, responsibility for themselves
and immediate family
Goals of the group take the precedence over
the goals of the individual
Goals of the individual take the precedence
over the goals of the group
Work and private lives intermixed Private and work lives separate
Pleasure from group achievement Pleasure from individual achievement
Communication is indirect (speak in circles),
focuses on the relationship between the
communicating individuals
Communication is more direct, very precise
and to the point, focuses on the purpose of
communication, hence, it is more open and
16. • Being familiar with characteristics of
collectivistic and individualistic cultures is
useful because it helps practitioners to
‘locate’ where a family falls within their
cultural continuum and to personalize
patient care.
• Collectivistic and individualistic cultures can
give rise to different views on human
health, as well as on treatment, diagnoses
and causes of illness.
• Depending on where a patient ‘fits’ along
their cultural continuum,
including extended family in discussions
about disease origin, diagnosis and
treatment may be helpful.
• Consent for certain diagnostic and
therapeutic interventions may be needed
from extended family members.
17. • A physician might expect a 26-year-old mother to make a
decision regarding her child’s treatment alone. Having just
completed an evaluation of her 6-year-old, the physician
presents two options for investigation.
• The mother shies away from making a firm decision and
answers you in vague terms. She seems to speak in circles,
almost dancing around the choice, even after hearing all the
information needed to decide which care path to follow.
• You know that she has finished high school, and note
impatiently that you have already spent an hour with her.
• The following week, she returns. You worry about the length
of the visit and falling behind with other patients.
• To your surprise, she is decisive. She discussed investigation
options with her husband and mother-in-law, and together
they have arrived at the best solution. She can now
confidently pursue the investigation of her child’s condition.
18. 1. What are the health care provider’s and mother’s cultures?
The health care provider’s culture is individualistic, while the mother’s is more
collectivistic.
2. What is the problem with mother’s culture type?
The mother needed to consult before she could provide an answer.
3. Explain the differences in the communication style?
Communication styles differ. The mother feared embarrassing the provider by
doubting advice, but also didn’t feel comfortable stating that she would have to
bring the choice home to decide.
4. Is woman’s behavior changed by her educational level?
Education level is not an issue: it’s a red herring.
19. 1. How patients and health care providers view health and illness. What patients and health
care providers believe about the causes of diseases? For example, some patients are
unaware of germ theory (a growing living organism causes the disease) and may instead
believe in fatalism, a djinn الجن (in rural Afghanistan, an evil spirit that seizes infants and is
responsible for tetanus-like illness), the 'evil eye', or a demon. They may not accept a
diagnosis and may even believe they cannot change the course of events. Instead, they can
only accept circumstances as they unfold.
20. 2. Which diseases or conditions are stigmatized and why? In
many cultures, depression is a common stigma and seeing a
psychiatrist means a person is “crazy”.
3. What types of health promotion activities are practiced, or
recommended? In some cultures, being “strong” (would
consider “overweight”) means having a store of energy
against famine, and “strong” women are desirable and
healthy.
4. How illness and pain are experienced and expressed. In
some cultures, impassiveness is the norm, even in the face of
severe pain. In other cultures, people openly express
moderately painful feelings. The degree to which pain should
be investigated or treated may differ.
21.
22. 5. Where patients seek help, how they ask for help and, perhaps, when
they make their first approach. Some cultures tend to consult allied
health care providers first, saving a visit to the doctor for when a
problem becomes severe.
6. Patient interaction with health care providers. For example, not
making direct eye contact is a sign of respect in many cultures, but a
care provider may wonder if the same behavior means her patient is
depressed.
7. The degree of understanding and compliance with treatment options
recommended by health care providers who do not share their cultural
beliefs. Some patients believe that a physician who doesn’t give an
injection may not be taking their symptoms seriously.
23. Health care professionals belong to professional cultures with their own language such as
epidemiological and medical terms. These terms are not familiar to the public and hinder
the public’s understanding of written and spoken health messages. Understanding can be
further hindered when other cultural differences exist.
What health professionals can do?
Being aware of and navigate across culture difference is a competency known as ‘cultural
competence’.
Demonstrating awareness of a patient’s culture can:
Promote trust
Better health care
Lead to higher rates of acceptance of diagnoses
Improve treatment adherence
24. • Cross-cultural communication in
healthcare has 3 vital
components: language fluency,
culture, and health literacy.
• The culturally competent provider
can assess a patient’s level in each
of the 3 areas and adjust
communication accordingly, to
increase the chance of successful
healthcare delivery and outcomes.
25. • Health literacy is how well one
understands basic health
information and services needed
to make appropriate health
decisions.
• Examples include:
• Providers can help develop
patients’ health literacy by
communicating in plain, simple
language, avoiding technical
language and jargon, and
checking comprehension.
26. • Both the patient and provider bring
cultural filters to the healthcare
setting. The filter includes beliefs,
norms, and practices surrounding
wellness, illness and healthcare
delivery.
• When possible, providers should
incorporate patients’ customs and
beliefs to increase the likelihood of
successful outcomes.
27. • Patients speaking non-native language may
not fully understand information and
instructions, and may lack the skills to ask for
clarification.
• They also face the additional challenge of
health-specific vocabulary and terminology,
some of which may not exist in their native
language.
• The culturally competent provider is able to
quickly assess the language fluency level
(low, intermediate, high) of patients and
apply communication strategies that ensure
patient understanding.
28.
29. • Body language is a non-verbal, sub-
consciously interpreted and generated set
of body movements, postures, gestures,
etc.
• Because body language is not as clearly
defined as spoken language, it can be
understood and interpreted in many
different ways.
• In today’s world, where globalization is an
unstoppable phenomenon, knowing and
understanding body language, its
interpretation around the world, and its
cultural significance is very important in
building and maintaining good relationships.
30. • These differences may arise due to many reasons:
• Time
• Economic status
• Social status
• Gender
• Cultural differences
• In this modern world, where the horizons are always
expanding, and the lines between cultures are becoming
thinner, it is very important to have an idea of how
body language varies across cultures around the
world.
31. Greetings: How people of different
cultures greet each other
Gestures: Different gestures mean
different things in different
cultures. Knowing these
differences is important.
Postures: Interpretations of
postures vary across cultures
32. The way two people greet each
other varies widely and depends on
the following factors apart from the
culture those factors belong to.
Level of acquaintance الصلة
Location
Gender
Age
It is very important to know and
understand the greetings of a place
when you are guest there.
33. • The hug This is a very common form of
greeting in the US, where the French
consider it as a very intimate gesture.
• The kiss-on-two-cheeks This is very common
way of greeting the France. But people in
the US might not be comfortable with it.
• Peck on the cheek Common in Britain
between two females or a male and a
female.
34. • Rubbing noses In New Zealand,
among Maori people, this is
called ‘Hongi’ meaning ‘sharing
breath’.
• Bowing In Japan this can range
from a slight nod in the head to a
full 90 degree bend.
• A hand shake A common way of
greeting in the US and Mexico,
especially among men or
35. Activity (1): ON greetings
•Expected mimics and behaviors in greetings situations
•(Text: US, French and Japanese students in an
academic environment)
•Role play in a group of 3
36. •In the US, a thumbs up
means “OK” or “good”.
•However, it is considered an
abuse in Australia, Brazil,
South Italy, Germany,
Greece, and some Islamic
nations.
37. • Slurping your soup is considered good
manners in Japan and implies that you
actually like the food, but in most other
cultures it is bad manners.
• In some societies like Germany punctuality
(respect time) is given utmost importance.
Being 10 minutes late even to an informal
gathering is considered very rude.
• Pointing your feet towards a Buddha statue
is a serious offence in Buddhist countries.
• Pointing your finger in a direction might
mean showing that direction in many
cultures, but in Middle East and Russia, is a
no-no.
It is preferable to show a direction with an open
palm.
38. • The victory sign may seem harmless; but in
Britain, if you show it with the palm facing you, it
is a very offensive gesture.
• Having your fingers crossed is generally a sign of
good luck in many places, but not in Paraguay. It
is considered offensive there.
• Snapping your fingers to get someone’s attention
sends a vulgar message in France and Belgium.
• Hands in pockets might be common in some
places, but is considered impolite in many
regions around the world.
• Hook ‘em Horns are supposed to be a cheering
symbol in Texas, wishing good luck in Brazil and a
curse in Africa.
39. •The “OK sign” is one such sign which
has many multiple meanings.
• In America, it may mean approval.
• In Brazil, Italy, Germany, and Greece, it is a
very offensive insult.
• In southern France, it might also mean ‘zero’
or ‘worthless’ depending on the facial
expression.
40. • Shaking head sideways
• In the US, it means ‘no’.
• In Bulgaria, it means ‘yes’.
• Nodding the head up and
down
• In the US, it means ‘yes’.
• In Bulgaria, it means ‘no’.
41. Postures are a very
important form of body
language, and are
generally involuntary
unlike gestures.
Like gestures, even
postures carry various
meanings across cultures.
42. • Be aware of your posture when you attend
meetings or are dining.
• Sitting cross-legged is seen as disrespectful in
Japan, especially in the presence of someone
older or more respected than you.
• Showing the soles of your shoes or feet can
offend people in parts of the Middle East.
• American men cross their legs in an ankle-on-
knee fashion
• The European men and women cross their legs
in knee-on-knee fashion.
