How might a pediatric patient's development be impacted if his or her mother is
homeless?

Homelessness and being raised in a culture of poverty can impact growth
and development. Appropriate maturation depends in part on a sense of
constancy, stability, and safety. When basic needs for food, shelter, and
security are not met, the child cannot access the resources and energy
necessary to gain mastery over developmental tasks.

An individual's relationship to nature varies among cultures. Different health
practices, values, and experiences with illness can be associated with an
external or internal locus of control. Rotter (1966) theorized that individuals
believe either that they can control certain aspects of their lives (internal
locus of control) or that outside sources control their lives (external locus
of control). Those who believe in an internal locus of control over their
health will be motivated to eat healthy, exercise, and make use of other
wellness measures. For example, a European American would more likely
follow an internal locus of control based on the cultural belief of
independence and care for self. Those who follow an internal locus of
control tend to respond well to preventive medicine. Those with an
external locus of control will feel that outside influences will care for their
health. For example, those of the Muslim faith believe the status of their
health is Allah's will. Those who follow an external locus of control are less
likely to be as engaged in preventive measures as they do not see
themselves as being in control of their health.
Values and Beliefs
Give this one a try later!
Culture includes a society's values, beliefs, assumptions, principles, myths,
legends, and norms.
People living within a culture typically share many of the prevailing
society's values and beliefs. People use these values and beliefs to help
them define meaning, identify acceptable behaviors, choose emotional
reactions, and determine appropriate actions in given situations.
, Values and belief systems are part of a culture, as are family relationships
and roles. To understand patient behaviors in more depth, a nurse must
identify which cultures are prevalent demographically in a given area, learn
more about those cultures by reading or attending a class about them, and
apply that knowledge and experience when providing patient care.
Values reflect an underlying system of beliefs.

many cultures and subcultures coexisting within a given society in which no
one culture dominates.
In a multicultural society, human differences are accepted and respected.
Classrooms in an academic setting may be considered multicultural when
all students are socialized to succeed and all learning styles are valued and
understood.
Space

Culture defines an individual's perception of personal space. Comfort may
result from honoring the boundaries of personal space, whereas anxiety
can result when these boundaries are not followed. Practices regarding
proximity to others, body movements, and touch differ among groups.
Variations of intimate zones and social public distance occur among
cultural groups, and a healthcare provider needs to be aware that what he
perceives as normal or appropriate may be produce anxiety for others
, Enculturation

or cultural transmission, is exemplified by a process children use to learn
cultural characteristics from adults. These characteristics are often
normalized, meaning that certain characteristics are used to define
acceptable rules and procedures of behaviors.
People biologically inherit physical traits and behavioral instincts, but they
socially inherit cultural characteristics. An individual learns culture from
other people in a society.
Enculturation occurs in families until the children are ready to leave and
establish their own values, beliefs, and practices through exposure to other
cultural or societal practices through work, marriage, or higher education.
Enculturation may continue among family members who live close to each
other, celebrate religious holidays together, or otherwise work to maintain
the culture within their family and limit their exposure to cultural
differences.
The great variety of cultural characteristics provides a broader perspective
of cultural differences and respect.
