    • Cultural awareness is vital for health care providers to prioritize patient safety and equity.
    • Cultural sensitivity necessitates acknowledging and respecting individual differences in cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes.
    • Ignoring cultural sensitivity negatively impacts patient and family satisfaction, potentially leading to poor adherence to treatment, poorer health outcomes, and increased adverse events.

    Cultural Sensitivity Definitions

    • Culture: encompasses knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, customs, and other capabilities and habits acquired in society.
    • Cultural Sensitivity: the capacity to recognize, comprehend, and respond appropriately to behaviours of culturally distinct individuals.
    • Communication in healthcare: involves two-way communication (verbal, written, and nonverbal) engaging patients in decision-making and care planning. It should be tailored, open, honest, and respectful with opportunities for clarification and feedback.

    • Patient, family, and healthcare provider characteristics, like religious beliefs, languages spoken at home, socioeconomic status, and cultural values, impact cultural sensitivity.
    • Clinicians need self-awareness and knowledge of diverse cultures to tailor communication strategies effectively and respectfully.

    Patient and Family-Centered Care (PFCC)
