    Study Notes

    Cultural Diversity

    • Cultural diversity encompasses culture, ethnicity, and race.
    • Culture is a shared system of beliefs, values, and behavioural expectations shaping daily life, roles, and interactions within and between communities.

    Cultural Diversity - Culture

    • Culture is shared and provides identity for members of a cultural group.
    • It's transmitted through formal and informal life experiences.
    • Language is the primary way culture is transmitted.
    • Cultural practices and beliefs evolve over time.
    • Differences exist within and among cultures.
    • A dominant group holds the most influence in shaping societal values and is typically the largest, though not always.
    • Minority groups are often identified by physical or cultural characteristics (e.g. race, religion, occupation) distinguishing them from the dominant group.
    • Cultural assimilation or acculturation occurs when a minority group within a dominant group loses some or many of its cultural characteristics.
    • Mutual cultural assimilation can also happen where some characteristics of both cultures are exchanged (e.g., Hispanics in the U.S.).
    • Culture shock is a possible reaction when entering a new culture perceived as strange.
    • The resulting feelings include being foolish, fearful, incompetent, inadequate, or humiliated

    Cultural Diversity - Ethnicity

    • People in an ethnic group share unique cultural and social beliefs and behaviour patterns.
    • This includes aspects such as language, dialect, religion, practices, folklore, music, political views, food, and employment patterns.

    Cultural Diversity - Race

    • While ethnicity is often used interchangeably with race, they are distinct.
    • Race is typically categorized by physical characteristics like skin colour, body stature, facial features, and hair texture.
    • Ethnicity is categorized by cultural and social identity, including culture, language, religion, and tradition.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare

    • Turkey is multicultural, multiethnic, and multiracial, so cultural understanding is essential for appropriate care.
    • Patient needs are often reasonable and important but seem illogical to a nurse due to cultural differences.
    • Nurses should respect cultural differences.
    • Certain racial and ethnic groups have varied predispositions to certain conditions, which must be considered in healthcare.
    • Cultural differences exist in reactions to pain, expression of emotions in pain, and response to differing treatment methods.
    • Many groups prefer to discuss problems within their family and do not divulge those problems to outsiders.
    • Stigma surrounding mental health issues affects patient willingness to seek professional help.
    • In numerous cultures, the male is the dominant figure making decisions.
    • Some cultures emphasize family closeness, and those factors need understanding and consideration.
    • Language barriers can pose a challenge when communicating about symptoms and health history.
    • Interpreters must therefore be used where needed.
    • Personal space preferences vary widely among cultural groups and must be addressed in physical care and interactions.
    • Food preferences and preparation methods vary greatly; consideration for these preferences is crucial to prevent malnutrition.
    • The family often plays a significant role in health care decisions and support.
    • Socioeconomic factors, such as poverty, can create barriers to adequate healthcare.
    • Factors including living in crowded conditions affect health due to issues like sanitation and general hygiene.
    • The presence of religious or cultural beliefs around medical treatment or care should be respected.
    • Patient's should be provided with appropriate answers and alternatives in these scenarios.

    Factors Influencing Growth and Development

    • Humans experience both growth and development throughout life.
    • Growth is an increase in body size or changes in bodily structures, functions, and complexity.
    • Development is a patterned change in the physical, cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental aspects of someone, and is influenced by factors such as:
    • Heredity
    • Life experiences
    • Health status
    • Prenatal, individual and caregiver factors.
    • Environment

    Stages of the Life Cycle

    • A life cycle timeline.
    • Prenatal, neonatal, infant, toddler, school-age, preadolescent, adolescent, young adult, middle adult, older adult stages of development. The characteristics and typical development of each stage, along with the relevant nursing implications for each stage.
