1. How does culture influence the decisions a provider may make when selecting an intervention? Healthcare professionals should provide care that is respectful to the patient’s culture and should... be culturally sensitive. Healthcare professionals need to gain knowledge about the patient’s culture, traditions, religion, and beliefs in order for the healthcare interventions to meet all of the patient’s needs and be satisfactory to the patient. The Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care and Universality involves knowing and understanding different cultures with respect to nursing and health-illness caring practices, beliefs, and values with the goal to provide meanings and efficacious nursing care services to patients according to their culture. 2. Explain how culture impacts provider attitudes. Does it? How will you assess your own attitudes about various cultures/races/groups? Culture impacts provider attitudes by requiring providers to focus on cultures other than their own, being culturally sensitive, having cultural awareness and avoiding stereotyping. Providers need to understand that patients may have traditions and beliefs different from theirs, may have health disparities, and may have language difficulties or may lack health literacy. Providers need to provide care and communicate with a patient in a way that the patient will understand and provide a certified interpreter or use the health phone line in cases of language barriers. The provider needs to be aware of their culture, religion and beliefs first, in order for him or her to be comfortable and understanding of other cultures, races, or religions. Cultural competence in nursing consists of four principles: Care is designed for the specific client. Care is based on the uniqueness of the person's culture and includes cultural norms and values. Care includes self-employment strategies to facilitate client decision making to improve health behaviors. Care is provided with sensitivity and is based on the cultural uniqueness of clients.
