Study Notes
Health and Illness
- Health is the balance of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, both internally and externally (natural, communal, metaphysical).
- Illness is the imbalance of these aspects.
- Healing is the restoration of balance.
Cultural Competence
- Five steps to cultural competence: personal heritage, heritage of others, health beliefs and practices, healthcare culture/system, traditional healthcare systems.
- CLAS (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services) standards were created in 1997 by the office of minority health for healthcare agencies (15 standards).
- Cultural competence involves knowledge, attitudes, and skills in providing care tailored to an individual's situation.
Culturally Appropriate Care
- The provider must be culturally sensitive, possessing knowledge and a positive attitude regarding the health traditions of diverse cultural groups.
- The provider who is culturally appropriate considers a patient’s overall situation, including cultural background, knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
- Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 mandates reasonable steps for federal funding recipients to provide services to people with limited English proficiency.
- English is the official language of the U.S.
- 79.2% of U.S. residents over 5 speak English at home.
- 9% of U.S. residents over 5 speak no English at all.

- Heritage consistency refers to the degree to which a person's lifestyle reflects their traditional heritage.
- Heritage Assessment Tool is developed to evaluate this consistency.

Acculturation
- Acculturation is the process of adapting to and blending into the dominant culture.
- This process is often involuntary.

- Specific issues regarding healthcare for different ethnic groups (such as the high rates of disease and lowest life expectancy among Native Americans), and how cost, access to care, societal beliefs about care and health, and types of treatment, can influence health disparities.
- Health care disparities relate to access, types of care or beliefs about what should be provided, costs, and overall social disparity in many communities.
Health Care
- Practices for healthcare workers include standard dualistic definitions of health and illness and the omnipotence of technology.
- Healthcare workers may disregard the importance of customs, tardiness, disorganization, and disorderliness of some healthcare workers.
