Peer Discussion

The purpose of this post is to discuss why cultural competence is important in the healthcare setting. There are many reasons that individuals seek out healthcare professionals, like with assistance to maintain chronic illnesses, understanding sudden acute issues, or for guidance and education with future situations. The most important thing to remember in these circumstances is that their progress or success will be greatly affected by how the individual perceives their care.

Cultural competence as described in the information provided, is when a person is recognized as an individual and for their cultural differences (Bazron, Cross, Dennis & Isaacs, 1989). Patients who feel that the team that is assisting them is listening to their issues, acknowledging what they feel comfortable with, and including them in treatment options and decision making will have the best possible outcomes because they will have developed trust in their team. That trust will allow the patient to feel confident that the provider understands who they are as a person and creates a relationship in which safe and effective care can occur.

I think that it is very important to be culturally competent because doing things for a patient that they may not feel comfortable with can cause stress, a breakdown in communication, and lead to greater issues. In conclusion, patients should feel a level of trust with their providers because it will allow them the opportunity for the best care and this can be obtained by being culturally competent, making this a very important aspect of care in a health setting.
