A Broader Understanding of Cultural Competence
Resources
Discussion Participation Scoring Guide
.
To understand the broader context of cultural competence in
health care, there are a variety of stakeholders involved in the
delivery and support of health care services whose perspectives
must be considered.
According to Pérez and Luquis (2008, p. 46), cultural
competence was defined by the 2000 Joint Committee on Health
Education and Promotion Terminology of AAHE as "the ability
of an individual to understand and respect values, attitudes,
beliefs, and mores that differ across cultures, and to consider
and respond to appropriately to these differences in planning,
implementing, and evaluating health education and promotion
programs and interventions."
Considering this broad, interrelated complexity, reflect on the
importance of cultural competence for health care
organizations, and for the health and wellness of diverse groups.
In your initial post for this discussion, address the following
scenario:
Your department manager has asked you to "read up on cultural
competency." After visiting several Web sites and reading
course materials, how might you define and explain to your
manager the broader context for cultural competency?
Consider cultural systems of belief, values, and attitudes toward
health and wellness, as an example.
Address health beliefs, practices, and behaviors.

The National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care (The National CLAS Standards) represent a set of standards to improve health care quality and advance health equity in health care organizations. While these standards are certainly important for health care administrators to not only adopt but also implement within their agency, perhaps the Principal Standard of The National CLAS Standards serves as the true hallmark of ensuring culturally and linguistically appropriate standards. The Office of Minority Health (2014) defines the Principal Standard as follows: “Provide effective, equitable, understandable and respectful quality care and services that are responsive to diverse cultural health beliefs and practices, preferred languages, health literacy, and other communication needs.” As a health care administrator, how might you ensure that you adhere to The National CLAS Standards when engaged in the design and development of culturally relevant messages while avoiding cultural bias? For this Discussion, review the media images in the resources for this week. Reflect on how media might impact the cultural sensitivity of health messages. Then, consider how cultural sensitivity might impact a health services campaign and marketing plan. By Day 3 Post any insights you had or conclusions you drew based upon your analysis of the media images provided in the media for this week. Explain how the media images in the resources for this week might present challenges based on the ethical, moral, and legal compliance considerations for the practice of health care administration. Then, explain how you might apply the information you gained from your analysis to your Final Project. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points. APA Style References .

Application: Access to Quality Health Care for Vulnerable Populations Access to quality health care for disparate populations is a critical challenge for today's health care organizations and for the health care system as a whole. In this Application Assignment, you will describe the advantages and challenges facing the health care system in providing equal access to quality health care. To prepare for this Application Assignment, consider how health care is delivered to populations who are sometimes affected by the Healthy People assigned focus area you were previously assigned. To complete this Application Assignment, write a 2- to 3-page paper (essay style) that addresses the following: What two obstacles confront vulnerable/underserved populations when they attempt to obtain quality health care Healthy People assigned focus area (e.g., a prevention program, screening program, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation)? Be specific. Name and describe two intervention programs that have addressed these obstacles (e.g., prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation). You can find examples of these on the internet or by searching the library databases (CINAHL). Try searching with your Healthy People area (i.e. obestiy; heart disease) as a key term as well as the word "intervention" or "program"). You may also try looking at professional organizations that address that health issue. For example, the American Diabetes Association sponsors a program called "Project Power" which addresses diabetes type 2 among African Americans—specifically for church settings. In your paper, summarize the programs by including the following: The name of the program The type of program (hospital based; for churches; online program, etc.) Who has implemented the program (researchers, professional group, university, state, etc.) and where was it implemented: For example, training programs are sometimes offered by commercial businesses and programs or activities are sometimes sponsored by federal government or professional organizations. The types of services the program provides How the program has addressed disparities The achievements of the program Does it address the issue of culture? How so? Is there any evidence that it has been successful? Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines (6th edition). Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct. Also, since this is one of your only applications, you may want to submit this to a Walden Writing Center tutor first as well as run it through Turnitin.com prior to submission.

Develop a 4 page report that explains how an organization serves the health care concerns and needs of a population. The report should identify gaps in the health care service, explain strategies to bridge the gaps, and describe potential barriers to those strategies. Note : The assessments in this course build upon each other. You are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Explain the principles and concepts of disease prevention and health promotion for diverse and vulnerable populations. Identify barriers to implementing evidence-based strategies to bridge gaps in the health care service provided by an organization to a vulnerable or diverse population. Competency 2: Develop evidence-based health promotion and disease prevention initiatives for diverse and vulnerable populations. Identify gaps in the health care service provided by an organization to a vulnerable or diverse population. Explain evidence-based strategies to bridge gaps in the health care service provided by an organization to a vulnerable or diverse population. Competency 3: Apply basic epidemiological concepts, data analysis methods, tools, and databases to determine the effectiveness of health promotion and disease prevention initiatives for diverse and vulnerable populations. Explain how a health care organization serves the primary health care concerns of a vulnerable or diverse population. Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the health care professions. Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, APA formatting, and mechanics. Context : Pérez and Luquis (2014) stated, "Integrating cultural proficiency practices into the individual practices of health educators and public health organizational policies is a call to action" (p. 50). It is important for those in health care to be aware of the methods used to identify and evaluate the specific health care needs of individuals, communities, and populations, and to understand the meaning of health literacy as it pertains to the needs of a multicultural population or group. With a growing diverse population, the incorporation of cultural and linguistic competence should be included into the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health education and promotion programs. "In this process, it is essential to employ theoretical models that describe and explain culture and related concepts (Pérez & Luquis, 2014, p. 165). Cultural constructs need to be applied to all health education, promotion, and prevention interventions targeting diverse communities (Pérez & Luquis, 2014). Reference Pérez, M. A., & Luquis, R. R. (2014). Cultural competence in health education and health promotion (2nd ed.). ...

This is a time when peers become extremely important to children’s sense of self and how they interact with other people. As children develop, friends affect their development in virtually every domain. Friends spend a great deal of time together, and thus are a key source of emotional support. They also provide opportunities to practice communication, and encounter perspectives on the world and their experiences that may be different from those at home. Taking into account your own psychosocial development, discuss your own friendships during your middle childhood years: What are ways in which your friendship helped or hindered your own psychosocial development?

Now that we know the stages of critical thinking and have a better understanding of how to improve, we need to think about how we will measure our progress. What types of standards will we need to hold our thinking to in order to ensure we are thinking critically? What types of questions can we ask ourselves to double check our thinking? Paul & Elder (2012) give us the basic, universal standards and as a reminder, I have them listed here: · Clarity · accuracy · precision · relevance · depth · breadth · logic · significance · Fairness Which are the ones that you think you currently struggle in terms of meeting in your thinking (in other words, what would be your areas of opportunity)? Why did you choose what you did and how can you go about beginning to fix it? References: Paul, R., & Elder, L. (2012). Critical thinking: Tools for taking charge of your learning and your life (3rd ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson. Last week, we looked at the influence that outside sources like family, friends, and the media have on our ability to think critically. We've also spent the last week reviewing how we should evaluate our evidence sources to ensure they are reliable and credible. This week, we will look specifically at the media and how what they deliver may not be as objective and bias free as you would hope. Paul & Elder (2012) give us a list of myths that you may or may not believe about various forms of media. Those myths include: · that most news stories are produced through independent investigative journalism · that news writers simply report facts in their stories and do not come to conclusions about them · that fact and opinion are clearly separated in constructing the news · that there is an objective reality (the actual "news") that is simply "reported" or described by the news media of the world (our news media writers reporting on this objectively; the media of foreign enemies systematically slanting and distorting it) · that what is unusual (novel, odd, bizarre) is news; what is usual is not (Paul & Elder, 2012) Class, do you agree with these myths? Why or why not? Are there any that surprise you? Why? References: Paul, R., & Elder, L. (2012). Critical thinking: Tools for taking charge of your learning and your life (3rd ed.).

November-December 2013 • Vol. 22/No. 6 359 Beverly Waller Dabney, PhD, RN, is Associate Professor, Southwestern Adventist University, Keene, TX. Huey-Ming Tzeng, PhD, RN, FAAN, is Professor of Nursing and Associate Dean for Academic Programs, College of Nursing, Washington State University, Spokane, WA. Service Quality and Patient-Centered Care L eaders of the U.S. Depart - ment of Health & Human Services (2011) urge providers to improve the overall quality of health care by making it more patient centered. Patient-centered care (or person-centered care) refers to the therapeutic relationship between health care providers and recipients of health care services, with emphasis on meeting the needs of individual patients. Al - though the term has been used widely in recent years, it remains a poorly defined and conceptualized phenomenon (Hobbs, 2009). Patient-centered care is believed to be holistic nursing care. It provides a mechanism for nurses to engage patients as active partici- pants in every aspect of their health (Scott, 2010). Patient shadowing and care flow mapping were used to create a sense of empathy and urgency among clinicians by clarify- ing the patient and family experience. These two approaches, which were meant to promote patient-centered care, can improve patient satisfaction scores without increasing costs (DiGioia, Lorenz, Greenhouse, Bertoty, & Rocks, 2010). A better under standing of attributes of patient-centered care and areas for improvement is needed in order to develop nursing policies that in - crease the use of this model in health care settings. The purpose of this discussion is to clarify the concept of patient-centered care for consistency with the common understanding about pa - tient satisfaction and the quality of care delivered from nurses to patients. Attributes from a customer service model, the Gap Model of Service Quality, are used in a focus on the perspective of the patient as the driver and evaluator of service quality. Relevant literature and the Gap Model of Service Quality (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Leonard, 1985) are reviewed. Four gaps in patient-centered care are identified, with discussion of nursing implica- tions. Background and Brief Literature Review Patient-Centered Care The Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2001a) and Epstein and Street (2011) identified patient-centeredness as one of the areas for improvement in health care quality. The IOM (2001b) defined patient-centeredness as …health care that establishes a partnership among practition- ers, patients, and their families (when appropriate) to ensure that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences and that patients have the education and support they require to make decisions and partici- pate in their own care… (p. 7) Charmel and Frampton (2008) defined patient-centered care as …a healthcare setting in which patients are encouraged to be actively involved in their care, with a physical environment t ...
