How does culture influence the decisions a provider may make when selecting an
intervention?
Learning about one’s culture and assessing epidemiological patterns of health and illness across
the lifespan facilitates the nurse practitioner's ability to focus on health initiatives and formulate
plans of care leading to behavioral change and sustainable quality health and lifestyle outcomes.
Religion, culture, beliefs, and ethnic customs can influence how pts understand health concepts,
how they take care of their health, and how they make decisions related to their health. Without
proper training, clinicians may deliver medical advice without understanding how health beliefs
and cultural practices influence how advice is received. Asking about pts’s religions, cultures, and
ethnic customs can help clinicians engage pts so that, together, they can devise treatment plans
that are consistent with the pt’s values.
Several models have emerged to assist healthcare providers in meeting the challenge of
providing culturally relevant care. Cultural competence is an ongoing learning process as the
providers continuously strive to achieve the best outcomes for patients, families, and populations.
Culture is "the practices, beliefs, values, and norms which can be learned or shared, and which
guide the actions and decisions of each person in the group”.
Health and disease can vary from culture to culture. Therefore, there is a wide spectrum of what
are considered appropriate interventions. Thus, culture influences the decisions a provider may
make when selecting an intervention based on the cultural perceptions of disease causation,
symptomatology, and pathology.
Care is provided with sensitivity and is based on the cultural uniqueness of clients. although
cultures differ, they all have the same basic organizing factors that must be assessed in order to
provide care for culturally diverse patients. Although cultures differ, they all have the same basic
organizing factors that must be assessed in order to provide care for culturally diverse patients.
These factors include:
communication (verbal and nonverbal)
personal space
social organization
time perception
environmental control
biological variations
Several models have emerged to assist healthcare providers in meeting the challenge of
providing culturally relevant care.
Macro-scale influences: Broad understandings of illness, suffering and healing, Social roles,
and the bureaucratic and economic context of health care services
Micro-scale influences: Face-to-face interaction at the front lines, successful and failed
communication
The essence of health and disease can vary from culture to culture. Therefore, there is a wide
spectrum of what are considered appropriate interventions, which may not be compatible with
Western medicine. Based on the cultures' perceptions of disease
