Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Diabetes Association reports that excessive stress works against diabetes management by increasing blood glucose levels, inciting negative emotions, and alluring obsessive poor eating habits. The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the perceptions of African Americans diagnosed with type I or type II diabetes mellitus about their diet and medication management in relation to stress and coping mechanisms. The results of this study show a significant relationship between stress and diet/medication regimen and coping and diet/medication regimen. The findings suggest that African American perceptions' about stress in relation to diabetes must be identified and addressed in order for more interventions, strategies, and coping mechanisms based upon current evidence-based research and practice to be implemented by nurses, healthcare providers, clients, families, and communities to assist with optimizing clients' overall health, well-being, satisfaction, and quality of life.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being a manageable chronic condition, type 2 diabetes is among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Of the 29.1 million people who have diabetes in the U.S., almost half are adults ages 65 years and older, and 39% of older African Americans have the condition. African American seniors are more likely to experience diabetes-related complications compared to other racial groups. These complications lead to end stage renal disease, non-traumatic lower extremity amputations, heart disease and premature death at two to four times the rates of their non-Hispanic White counterparts. This studied utilized a constructivist grounded theory methodology to understand the potential relationships between African American older adults' experiences with structural racism across their life courses, and their experiences with type 2 diabetes in older age. The author's interpretation of the fit between participants' narratives about structural racism and diabetes was centered on the processes through which participants dealt with social- and health-related threats. The findings revealed narratives that clustered into three major constructs: Identifying Threats, Learning and Playing the Game, and Exercising Agency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who gets diabetes and why? An in-depth examination of diabetes in the context of race, public health, class, and heredity Who is considered most at risk for diabetes, and why? In this thorough, engaging book, historian Arleen Tuchman examines and critiques how these questions have been answered by both the public and medical communities for over a century in the United States. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Tuchman describes how at different times Jews, middle-class whites, American Indians, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans have been labeled most at risk for developing diabetes, and that such claims have reflected and perpetuated troubling assumptions about race, ethnicity, and class. She describes how diabetes underwent a mid-century transformation in the public's eye from being a disease of wealth and "civilization" to one of poverty and "primitive" populations. In tracing this cultural history, Tuchman argues that shifting understandings of diabetes reveal just as much about scientific and medical beliefs as they do about the cultural, racial, and economic milieus of their time.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT Relational-Cultural Perspectives of African American Women with Diabetes and Maintaining Multiple Roles SEPTEMBER 2017 AYESHA ALI, B.S. UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST M.S. UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Cynthia S. Jacelon The growth of diabetes in the United States is viewed by some as epidemic with a particular concern as related to African American women. African American women experience diabetes disproportionately to other groups with higher risks of complications and premature death. Historically, they have led all women in labor force participation and maintained roles within and outside the home. The purpose of this study was to gain understanding and meaning of the lived experience of African American women with diabetes and maintaining multiple roles using sensitizing concepts of Relational-Cultural theory. Relational-Cultural theory was described as related to use with women and the incorporation of the influence of culture. The literature review used proxy terms for the concepts of connection, disconnection, mutuality and power over related to limited use of theory concepts in the literature. The review yielded few research studies. Interpretive phenomenology following Ricoeur in philosophy and methodology was used. Three composites of the day-to-day experiences of African American women with diabetes and maintaining multiple roles were provided. The concept of connections diverged into two types of connections with multiple themes. Mutuality themes were not a matter of age but what each brings to the other and closeness developed over time. Themes that emerged related to concepts of disconnections and power over were the will to keep negativity out, disappointment in others, shackles on, shackles off, financial stress makes life difficult. Themes of informational support in the neighborhoods, trust is necessary and need for African American nurses related to the role of nurses with enhancing connections and mutuality. Further nursing research is needed related to use of Relational-Cultural theory and African American women with diabetes and maintaining multiple roles to increase a contextual understanding of their lived experience. Incorporation of Relational-Cultural theory into practice and nursing education was also suggested based on two decades of neuroscience evidence about the importance of relationships.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-16 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their later years, Americans of different racial and ethnic backgrounds are not in equally good-or equally poor-health. There is wide variation, but on average older Whites are healthier than older Blacks and tend to outlive them. But Whites tend to be in poorer health than Hispanics and Asian Americans. This volume documents the differentials and considers possible explanations. Selection processes play a role: selective migration, for instance, or selective survival to advanced ages. Health differentials originate early in life, possibly even before birth, and are affected by events and experiences throughout the life course. Differences in socioeconomic status, risk behavior, social relations, and health care all play a role. Separate chapters consider the contribution of such factors and the biopsychosocial mechanisms that link them to health. This volume provides the empirical evidence for the research agenda provided in the separate report of the Panel on Race, Ethnicity, and Health in Later Life.

Download or read book Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Health of Older Americans written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-09-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older Americans, even the oldest, can now expect to live years longer than those who reached the same ages even a few decades ago. Although survival has improved for all racial and ethnic groups, strong differences persist, both in life expectancy and in the causes of disability and death at older ages. This book examines trends in mortality rates and selected causes of disability (cardiovascular disease, dementia) for older people of different racial and ethnic groups. The determinants of these trends and differences are also investigated, including differences in access to health care and experiences in early life, diet, health behaviors, genetic background, social class, wealth and income. Groups often neglected in analyses of national data, such as the elderly Hispanic and Asian Americans of different origin and immigrant generations, are compared. The volume provides understanding of research bearing on the health status and survival of the fastest-growing segment of the American population.
