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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States health care system has caused cross-cultural controversy over the past several decades. The prominence and evolution of Westernized medicine in the United States has inconspicuously created the notion that biomedical practices are superior to other forms of health and healing. As a result, health care systems have experienced a decline in patient satisfaction and quality of care for minority patients, particularly within the Hmong-American community in La Crosse, Wisconsin. In efforts to eliminate the health disparities that minorities face, health care systems have implemented cross-cultural intervention strategies at organization, clinical, and provider levels. However, issues persist, particularly at the provider level of end-of-life care. Research indicates that ethnic minorities living in Western societies have lower access to end-of-life services and support when compared to dominant populations (Seymour et al., 2007). This paper addresses the barriers that Hmong Americans face within the United States health care system, specifically during end-of-life care, and introduces a framework of culturally sensitive practices in order to formulate suggestions and practical solutions that address the health disparities Hmong Americans experience during end-of-life care.--

This book was released on 2012 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study explores the social and cultural barriers that Hmong elders faced in seeking western healthcare. It is the understanding of the researcher that Hmong elders lack adequate healthcare; therefore contributing to the gab in healthcare disparity among the Hmong population. To explore the barriers to Hmong elders' resistance of western healthcare, the researcher conducted interviews on 50 Hmong participants who were 60 years of age or older living in the greater Sacramento region. The researcher recruited participants using the snowball sampling procedure and conducted the interviews in the Hmong dialect using a survey consisting of open-ended and closed ended questions. . The study indicated that there is still a strong cultural and religious influenced especially, among those who are still traditional in their religious belief when it comes to their health seeking behaviors.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong immigrated to America as a result of various life threatening conditions that prevented them from being able to live an ordinary life. Despite the huge population of Hmong who have settled in California, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, they still experience challenges when utilizing the modern health care system and its services. This study explores Hmong Americans' perceptions toward both traditional and modern health care and their utilization of these services. Participants in this study were Hmong American adults who are former refugees and immigrants from Laos and Thailand. The findings of this research study reveal that there are indeed challenges and obstacles that have prevented Hmong Americans from utilizing modern health care, as well as its services, such as different philosophies toward health and illness, providers' lack of understanding about the Hmong's cultural beliefs and/or practices, and lack of sufficient English comprehension skills to communicate with health care providers.

Download or read book Healing by Heart written by Kathie Culhane-Pera and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Unequal Treatment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-02-06 with total page 781 pages. 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.
