Cultural Beliefs And Expectations Of Patients

I agree, we should be aware of other cultural practices and respect the culture, value, beliefs, and the expectations of our patients.
As the diversity of our patients continues to grow, it is crucial that we, as primary health care providers, develop the ability to recognize our patient’s beliefs and practices regarding causes, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Understanding the patient’s personal beliefs can help us both incorporate their own ideas, suggestions, and resources in a mutually agreed-upon health plan and establish a therapeutic relationship with them.
