Overview
This course aims to inform healthcare professionals of the impact of culture on women’s health beliefs and practices and responses to current care approaches.Goals and Learning Outcomes
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, minority groups will outnumber what is now considered mainstream culture by the middle of this century. Healthcare professionals need to heighten their awareness about the importance of role, culture, and tradition in preventing and treating women’s unique healthcare problems. When there is a lack of cultural sensitivity in communication, patients are less likely to be content with their healthcare experience, increasing the likelihood of miscommunication and possible cultural disparities. These factors can also cause non-compliance with treatment, worse health outcomes, and a higher incidence of adverse events.
The goal of this course is to equip healthcare professionals with knowledge of the impact of culture on women’s health beliefs and practices and their responses to current approaches to care.
- Recall different cultural practices that impact women in various stages of life.
- Identify two cultural practices that interfere with women’s health.
- Recognize ways to provide culturally competent care to women.
