Beyond Cultural Competency: Cultural Humility, Health Literacy & Health Beliefs
Cultural Competency is recognizing and forming ones attitudes, beliefs, skills, values and levels of awareness to provide culturally-appropriate, respectful and relevant care and education – Campinha-Bacote Model
This episode explores the concepts and communication strategies beyond cultural competency including cultural humility, health literacy, health beliefs, acculturation, assimilation and the globalization of food. Culturally specific communication tools for healthcare professionals are discussed to help elicit patient’s health beliefs/perceptions and collect essential food and health behaviors and information.
Health professionals teach health education like a novel. Patients access health information like a dictionary. We need to align our teaching style to meet the needs of the patient.
