Conduct a thorough social and cultural assessment.

Demonstrate genuine interest in and respect for the individual.

Educate patients about mental health issues, including available treatments, benefits of obtaining services, and contributions and abilities of individuals with a mental illness.

Do not assume that all individuals of a racial or ethnic group are the same.

Being quiet and lack of eye contact may be culturally appropriate and may indicate shyness, not depression or another mental illness.

Tailor interventions to the individual; one intervention does not work for everyone.

Terms in this set (119)

HEALTH DISPARITIES ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE INCIDENCE, PREVALENCE, MORTALITY RATE, AND BURDEN OF DISEASES THAT EXIST AMONG SPECIFIC POPULATION GROUPS IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, OR ENVIRONMEENTAL DISADVANTAGES. HEALTH DISPARITIES CAN AFFECT POPULATION GROUPS BASED ON GENDER, AGE, ETHNICITY, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, GEOGRAPHY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, DISABILITY, OR SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS.

SEXUALITY IS DEFINED AS A PERSON'S ROMANTIC, EMOTIONAL, OR SEXUAL ATTRACTION TO ANOTHER PERSON. GAY, LESBIAN, AND BISEXUAL ORIENTATION PLACES AN INDIVIDUAL AT RISK FOR HEALTH DISPARITIES DUE TO THEIR SOCIAL, CONOMIC, OR ENVIORNMENTAL DISADVANTAGES. WITH THE REPEAL OF THE MILITARY'S DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL LEGISLATION IN 2010,THE FOCUS ON THE RIGHTS AND SPECIFIC HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS HAS INCREASED.

1. BE POLITE AND FORMAL.
2. PRONOUNCE NAME CORRECTLY. IF UNSURE, ASK ABOUT THE CORRECT PRONUNICATION OF THE NEAME. USE PROPER TITLES OF RESPECT, SUCH AS "MR.","MRS.", "MS.", "DR." GREET THE PERSON USING THE LAST OR COMPLETE NAME.
GESTURE TO YOURSELF AND SAY YOUR NAME.
OFFER A HANDSHAKE OR NOD. SMILE
3. PROCEED IN AN UNHURRIED MANNER. PAY ATTENTION TO ANY EFFORT BY THE PATIENT OR FAMILY TO COMMUNICATE.
4. SPEAK IN A LOW, MODERATE VOICE AND AVOID EXCESSIVE HAND GESTURES. REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A TENDENCY TO RAISE THE VOLUME AND PITCH OF YOUR VOICE WHEN THE LISTENER APPEARS NOT TO UNDERSTAND. THE LISTENER MAY PERCEIVE THAT YOU ARE SHOUTING OR ANGRY.
5. USE ANY WORDS THAT YOU MIGHT KNOWN IN THE PERSON'S LANGUAGE. THIS INDICATES THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF AND RESPECT HIS OR HER CULTURE.
6. USE SIMPLE WORDS, SUCH AS "PAIN" INSTEAD OF "DISCOMFORT". AVOID MEDICAL JARGON, IDIOMS, AND SLANG. AVOID USING CONTRACTIONS (DO NOT SAY CAN'T, WON'T, DON'T). USE NOUNS REPEATEDLY INSTEAD OF PRONOUNS.
EXAMPLE: DO NOT SAY: "HE HAS BEEN TAKING HIS MEDICINE, HASN'T HE?"
DO SAY: "DOES JUAN TAKE HIS MEDICINE?"
7. PANTOMIME WORDS AND SIMPLE ACTIONS WHILE YOU VERBALIZE THEM.
8. GIVE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE.
EXAMPLE:
DO NOT SAY: "BEFORE YOU RINSE THE BOTTLE, STERILIZE IT."
DO SAY:"FIRST, WASH THE BOTTLE. SECOND, RINSE THE BOTTLE."
9. DISCUSS ONE TOPIC AT A TIME, AVOID USING CONJUNCTIONS.
EXAMPLE:
DO NOT SAY. "ARE YOU COLD AND IN PAIN?"
DO SAY. "ARE YOU COLD (WHILE PANTOMIMING)/ ARE YOU IN PAIN?"
10. VALIDATE WHETHER THE PERSON UNDERSTANDS BY HAVING THEM REPEAT INSTRUCTIONS, DEMONSTRATE THE PROCEDURE, OR ACT OUT THE MEANING.
11. WRITE OUT SEVERAL SHORT SENTENCES IN ENGLISH AND DETERMINE THE PERSON'S ABILITY TO READ THEM.
12. TRY A THIRD LANGUAGE. MANY INDOCHINESE PEOPLE SPEAK FRENCH. EUROPEANS OFTEN KNOW TWO OR MORE LANGUAGES. TRY LATIN WORDS OR PHRASES. USE ENGLISH WORDS THAT HAVE LATIN ROOTS (USE PRECIPITATION INSTEAD OF RAIN).
13. USE WEBSISTES THAT TRANSLATE WORDS FROM ONE LANGUAGE INTO ANOTHER. SOME OF THEM ALSO HAVE AUDIO TO HELP YOU KNOW HOW TO SAY THE WORD CORRECTLY.
14. ASK THE PERSON'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO COULD SERVE AS AN INTERPRETER.
15. OBTAIN PHRASE BOOKS FROM A LIBRARY OR BOOKSTORE, MAKE OR PURCHASE FLASH CARDS, CONTACT HOSPITALS FOR A LIST OF INTERPRETERS, AND USE BOTH A FORMAL AND INFORMAL NETWORK TO LOCATE A SUITABLE INTERPRETER.

RATIONALE--
HEALTH LITERACY IS THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO OBTAIN, PROCESS, AND UNDERSTAND BASIC HEALTHINFORMATION NEEDED TO MAKE APPROPRIATE DECISIONS. AGE, LANGUAGE, AND EDUCATION MAY INTERFERE WITH THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO READ, COMPREHEND, AND ANALYZE INFORMATION TO MAKE HEALTH CARE DECISIONS.
PLACE MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH LIMITED HEALTHLITERACY BECAUSE RURAL POPULATIONS TEND TO BE OLDER AND HAVE LOWER LITERACY RATES. THE ACCEPTED HEALTH BEHAVIORS ARE AFFECTED BY THE AREAS IN WHICH PEOPLE GROW UP, WORK, AND LIVE. GENDER, RACE, AND ETHNICITY ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTH LITERACY.
