Book excerpt: Background: This literature review delves into the intricate relationship between Hmong culture and Western medicine. Originating from Southeast Asia, the Hmong people have a rich history of migration and have settled in various countries, including the United States, where their traditional practices, such as shamanism and herbal medicine, remain deeply rooted. The introduction of Western medicine has brought forth a clash of beliefs, leading to skepticism and resistance. Issues such as spiritual healing, medicinal usage, language barriers, and decision- making processes are explored, highlighting the importance of cultural competence for healthcare providers. Purpose: To identify the most common cultural experiences or challenges within the Hmong community as this group of people interacts and intertwines with Western Medicine Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using google scholar, UpToDate, Lindell Library, and databases such as EBSCO. Studies from within the last five years were used in this research paper. Conclusions: The literature review and case study on Hmong immigrants highlight the importance of cultural sensitivity, effective communication, and collaboration between Western medicine and traditional beliefs. Culturally competent care can encourage trust with Hmong patients, improving treatment compliance and outcomes. Overcoming language barriers through interpreters is crucial. Integrating traditional and Western medicine offers more comprehensive treatment options, and empowering patient autonomy enhances satisfaction and compliance. Educating about Western medicine builds trust. Healthcare policy should consider cultural diversity for equitable services. Embracing cultural differences can lead to a more inclusive and patient-centered healthcare system.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's healthcare system in the twenty-first century faces a variety of pressures and challenges, not the least of which is that posed by the increasingly multicultural nature of American society itself. Large numbers among the Hmong, immigrants from the landlocked Asian nation of Laos, continue to prefer their own ancient medical traditions. That these Hmong Americans should continue to adhere to a tradition of folk medicine, rather than embrace the modern healthcare system of America, poses questions that must be answered. This book takes up the task of examining Hmong American concepts of health, illness and healing, and looks at the Hmong American experience with conventional medicine. In so doing, it identifies factors that either obstruct or enable healthcare delivery to the Hmong, specifically a target sample of Hmong Americans resident in Colorado. Drawing upon scientific methods of data collection, the research reveals attitudes currently held by a group of American citizens toward health and medicine which run the gamut from the very modern to those which have prevailed in the highlands of Southeast Asia for centuries.

Book excerpt: Healing by Heart is a book of stories--stories of people's search for culturally responsive health care from U.S. providers. It offers resources to providers and institutions committed to delivering culturally responsive health care, paying special attention to building successful relationships with traditional Hmong patients and families. It makes available extensive information about the health-related beliefs, practices, and values of the Hmong people, including photographs of traditional healing methods. Ranging in age from young infants to older adults, the patients in the stories present a wide range of health problems. The clinicians are from family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, psychiatry/psychology, and hospice. Each of the fourteen case stories is accompanied by discussion questions as well as two or three commentaries. The commentaries--written by patients, family members, shaman, Western clinicians (including Hmong physicians, nurses, and social workers), medical anthropologists, health care ethicists, social workers, psychologists, and clergy--are rich in personal reflections on cross-cultural health care experiences. Readers are rewarded with a combination of perspectives, including those of Hmong authors who have not previously published in English and scholars with years of professional experience working with the Hmong in Laos, Thailand, and the United States. The editors offer a model for delivering culturally responsive health care with special attention to matters of cross-cultural health care ethics. The model identifies questions health care providers can focus on as they seek to understand the health-related moral commitments and practices prevalent in the cultural groups they serve, ethical questions that arise frequently and with great poignancy in cross-cultural health care relationships, and points to consider when a patient's treatment wish challenges the provider's professional integrity. By sharing stories of suffering, confusion, and success, Healing by Heart couples an accessible method of learning about others with concrete recommendations about how to enhance cross-cultural health care relationships.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore Hmong 18 Council leadership processes in addressing Hmong cultures and expectations of the community of the Twin Cities of Minnesota. There were a total of 15 participants who volunteered to participate in this study; these participants were Hmong council leaders currently representing their clans in the Hmong 18 Council of Minnesota. The study was conducted using an ethnographic qualitative research method to collect data to answer the following research question: "How do Hmong council leaders address cultural issues and expectations of the Hmong community within the Hmong 18 Council of Minnesota?" Data for this study were obtained through interviews and observations and then transcribed verbatim for coding and analyzing. The finding presented the following strategies to address culture issues: look for: the root causes of issues; being fair to all parties involved; instituting compromise and forgiveness. Moreover, the result also suggested that the Hmong 18 Council need to acquire a woman to serve as a council leader. The study recommended the Hmong 18 Council to implement education programs to teach Hmong culture and traditions to the Hmong community, particularly to Hmong women. These education programs validate the significant of Hmong cultures to younger Hmong generation and women; it will also help incorporate Hmong women into the patriarchy of clan leadership in the representation of their clan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmers in Laos, U.S. allies during the Vietnam War, refugees in Thailand, citizens of the Western world, the stories of the Hmong who now live in America have been told in detail through books and articles and oral histories over the past several decades. Like any immigrant group, members of the first generation may yearn for the past as they watch their children and grandchildren find their way in the dominant culture of their new home. For Hmong people born and educated in the United States, a definition of self often includes traditional practices and tight-knit family groups but also a distinctly Americanized point of view. How do Hmong Americans negotiate the expectations of these two very different cultures? This book contains a series of essays featuring a range of writing styles, leading scholars, educators, artists, and community activists who explore themes of history, culture, gender, class, family, and sexual orientation, weaving their own stories into depictions of a Hmong American community where people continue to develop complex identities that are collectively shared but deeply personal as they help to redefine the multicultural America of today.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study sought to understand the mental health problems in the Hmong community in the Twin Cities of Minnesota through exploring Hmong mental health experiences using a qualitative research method. Phenomenology was chosen as the method for investigating participants' experiences. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of Hmong mental health professionals in the Twin Cities of Minnesota regarding mental health problems in the Hmong community while working with Hmong families. This included their experiences of traditional healing and Western mental health services, what they think are the causes of mental health problems, and the reasons for seeking and not seeking Western mental health services. The findings from this study revealed that mental health problems are not well understood by the Hmong community. This study agreed with previous studies that the Hmong people still refer to mental health as "crazy" and that causes of mental health problems in the Hmong community are trauma from personal experiences, anxiety, adjusting to a new culture and language, and depression. It also revealed that "muaj kev nyuab siab" or by way of having stress is preferred over "crazy" in the Hmong language and culture. The findings agreed with previous studies that Hmong will still use traditional healing methods prior to seeking Western mental health services. Some Hmong adults don't know why they seek treatment, whereas others just want a quick fix, were referred by the court or were looking for other social services supports. This study recommends normalization of mental health, a joint approach between traditional healing and mental health services, creation of mobile services and education for the Hmong community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to balance an account of the traditional life and history of the Hmong as a global people, with a full account of their modern, urban lives. Culture and Customs of the Hmong takes a global approach to understanding the Hmong, a people who have lived in China for more than 4,000 years. It is the first book to combine an account of the traditional life and history of the Hmong with a full account of their modern, urban lifestyle, balancing traditional lifeways and practices with modern, evolving customs. The book is unique in dealing, not only with the Hmong in the United States, Australia, and other Western nations, but also with their traditional and changing lives in their Asian homelands of Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and China. This broad international perspective allows readers to look at the Hmong through the complex interplay of the many social, historical, economic, and cultural influences they have been exposed to in their worldwide migration, and at how they manage to maintain their many traditions across national boundaries and great distances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative research project explores the life experiences of six second-generation Hmong Americans individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ). The six participants live in diverse regions of the United States (U.S.) and range in age from 18 to 40 years. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted via phone. Participants were asked to share stories of the struggles they have encountered as sexual minorities in their communities, and their experiences of dealing with mental health concerns in the Hmong community and within the U.S. healthcare system at large. The findings provide social workers and other healthcare providers with information to better support members of the Hmong LGBTQ community, to address their mental health needs, and to improve mental health outcomes with this vulnerable and growing population. This study aims to begin to fill a gap in the academic literature by providing insights into the unique challenges that LGBTQ Hmong Americans often encounter in the U.S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological research study was to explore the lived experiences of alcohol consumption in Hmong living in Sacramento, California. The economic burden of excessive alcohol consumption in the United States is estimated to be $249 billion. Liver disease is the main cause of death in alcohol-related deaths. Research indicates Hmong are disproportionately affected by liver diseases such as hepatitis B and liver cancer. Strong considerations and proactive measures need to be taken in addressing risky behaviors such as alcohol use in the Hmong community. Previous national drug surveys and research studies have either inadequately or failed to detail Hmong. A convenience sample of five Hmong adults living in Sacramento, California, and who witnessed heavy alcohol consumption and/or heavily consumed alcohol was recruited. Data was collected via semi-structured interviews and resulted in three themes a.) being Hmong American; b.) the cultural context; and c.) mitigating factors. Participants described experiencing socioeconomic hardships and acculturative stress. They reported that stress was alleviated through the social support from their Hmong community. The data provided descriptions of the cultural context in which heavy alcohol consumption occurs and the meanings of alcohol in the Hmong community. Lastly, faith and social support were identified as mitigating factors in alcohol consumption. The findings show there are strong social support networks within the Hmong community and suggests interventions in addressing substance use such as alcohol should take a collective versus individualist approach. More data is needed to better understand the state of excessive alcohol use in Hmong.
