Note: I need a peer reply for this discussion post There are a lot of aspects in the treatment between the nurse and the patient that can behave as barriers when it comes to this interaction.
Nurses have the challenge in today’s healthcare environment of providing culturally competent care to a diverse patient population. To provide patient- and family-centered care, nurses must first recognize the cultural differences of the patient and family, be willing to incorporate patient and family beliefs into the health care treatment plan, and respect the values and ways of life of different cultures.
There are many barriers erected by cultural differences, especially between nurses and their patients, for example:
The language When nurses and their patients don’t speak the same language, providing quality medical care and making the patient feel comfortable and cared for can be exponentially more challenging. It can be difficult to inform a patient or have confidence in the consent given when the patient communicates primarily in their native language. It is also very common for patients who are bilingual to speak in their native language when they are not feeling well and are stressed or scared.
Cultural traditions
Many cultures have very different ways of thinking about health care and may have traditions that go against allopathic medicine. For example, a Native American man may not want to be resuscitated or placed on life support. A woman born in Beijing may be resistant to taking prescription drugs for a condition and may want to use traditional Chinese herbal remedies and acupuncture. Healthcare providers who are unfamiliar with the cultural traditions surrounding healthcare may have difficulty connecting with the patient or the patient may not feel safe and recognized, which is key to acceptance of treatment.
Health Literacy
A different understanding of health care from one culture to another also affects health literacy. People in some cultures may not be aware of certain health conditions or how to maintain their health on a day-to-day basis. When patients from different cultural or racial backgrounds have difficulty understanding health care practices, nurses have the important job of bringing them up to speed with diagnosis and treatment in a way that is sensitive to their cultural needs.
Cultural Assumption
Many nurses have developed assumptions about different cultures over time, often because of a fundamental lack of proper education about that particular culture. Cultural assumptions and lack of knowledge of the culture can create unique challenges for nurses and patients.
