Do you think community health programs should address different cultures, why or why not?
*Community health programs should
address different cultures,because cultural competence will be
developed by the opene minded awareness of experiences and respect
for cultural differences.
*A cultural assessment includes the systematic way of identifying
their values,beliefs and behaviours of people while considering
their history,background,religious preferences,food
preferences,family pattern ,eating pattern and health
policies.
*Failuure to provide culturally competent care leads to lack of
understanding and productivity or influence on them.
*While working in community,we need to convence the people through
giving value to their cultural behaviour,so that we can gain their
confidence and cooperation in that community program
successfully.
*We must have cultural diversity care in language support
assistance services,transilators for education on patient bill of
Rights in order to get complete community involvement and
acceptance of services which results in achievement of community
health program goals.
