Socio-cultural Aspects of Maternal and Child Health Nursing
CHAPTER 2 : Socio-cultural Aspects of Maternal and Child Health Nursing Key Terms : Culture : is a view of the world and a set of traditions that a specific social group uses and transmits to the next generation. Cultural Values : are preferred ways of acting based on traditions .
Cultural values are formed early in life and strongly influence the manner in which people plan for childbearing and child rearing , as well as they respond to health and wellness ( Whitler and Kirmayer, 2008) Ethnicity : refers to the cultural group into which a person was born . Mores or Norms : usual values of a group . Taboos : actions that are not acceptable to a culture.
Three taboos are universal ; murder , incest , and cannibalism. Issues such as abortion , robbery , and lying are controversial because these are taboos to some people not to everyone. Cultural differences occur not only across different ethnic backgrounds but also different lifestyle behaviors such as drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes. Diversity : means there is a mixture or variety of lifestyle and beliefs in population. Trans-cultural Nursing : Nursing care that is guided by cultural aspects and respects individual differences .
Nursing Process Overview ( FOR RESPECTING SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECTS OF CARE) ASSESSMENT : Assessment of socio-cultural factors is important to be certain that is care is planned based not on predetermined assumptions but on the actual preferences of a family. Assess each client individually, not as one a group. Assessing the culture of the community is as important as assessing individual families because families are intrinsically joined to their community. NSG. Diagnosis : Several nsg.dx speak to the consequences of ignoring cultural preferences in care: Powerless r/d to expectations of care not being respected .., etc Planning : Needs to be very specific for individual families because socio-cultural preferences tend to be very personal.
