Study Notes
Understanding Illness and Cultural Competence
- Acute illness is characterized by severe, short-lived symptoms, such as the common cold and acute appendicitis.
- Chronic illness develops gradually and requires ongoing medical attention, affecting almost one in two adults in 2012.
- Factors contributing to the increase in chronic illness include sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and an aging population.
- Adjusting to illness involves stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (DABDA).
- Denial can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment, while anger may indicate depression and guilt for not preventing the illness.
- Attempting to gain control involves seeking treatment and using over-the-counter medications, but fear may lead to further denial and avoidance.
- Depression, grief, and stress are common responses to illness, impacting daily activities and well-being.
- Acceptance and participation in treatment can lead to increased coping, with long-term chronic illness patients becoming experts in managing their condition.
- Cultural illness behaviors include modeling, stoicism, and varying "sick role" expectations across different cultures.
- Dorothea Orem's theory of nursing focuses on self-care and the relationship between nurses and clients in providing care and support.
- Internal and external influences on illness behavior include past experiences, coping ability, culture, and communication patterns.
- Cultural competence in nursing involves attitudes, knowledge, and skills for providing quality care to diverse populations, addressing health disparities and patient-specific needs shaped by culture.
