NURS 3315 Holistic Health Assessment ©2014 UTA School of Nursing Page 1 of 6 Week 3 Holistic Health Assessment: Culture exercise This is an exercise for your reflection—I want you to understand that your patients have cultures, and so do you! Most minority students and those who are from another country originally, understand they are a part of a valued culture with rich traditions--they have a strong cultural identity. They can readily identify beliefs/traditions regarding diet, illness, death, pregnancy, how respect for others is demonstrated, etc. Many American students with ancestry from northern European countries think that they don’t have a culture. I have heard MANY of them say, “Well, I don’t really have a culture, I am just …well, a plain American and I am not a member of a cultural group.” When this happens, I ask a foreign student (who is well aware of his/her own culture), to reveal the group characteristics of the American culture to the ones who think they possess no culture. The foreign students usually say something like this: “For one thing, you Americans are obsessed with TIME! Everything has to be done on time, you try to arrive early for appointments and are always rushing around!” They often point out that Americans need a larger circumference for their personal space than many others. Americans have a strong need for independence—they would rather ride 5 miles on a bicycle they own, and be free to come and go at will, than arrange for friends or family to pick them up and take them places by a more comfortable mode of transportation. Many Americans, they assert, tend to be ethnocentric—they feel that the way they do things is the RIGHT way, and those differing from them are not just culturally different, but…not as advanced. Americans that haven’t had exposure to other cultures may not realize that certain thought or actions have a cultural basis at all—though others would see it instantly. As you can see, actions and thoughts that are linked with culture are not necessarily right or wrong, but they do influence how people behave, how they react, and what they feel to be “normal.” Module 3 Discussion board A
