Describe the person’s health maintenance, protection, and restoration traditions and how these have been influenced by culture.

The patient says that he believes in making a healthy diet, doing exercises, and taking herbal medicines. Perhaps the Asian Diet is heart-healthy. Saturated fat is limited in Asian diets, while fiber is abundant, thanks to a focus on fresh produce, whole grains, and rice. These foods are considered heart-healthy by the medical profession since they help control cholesterol and blood pressure while also decreasing the risk of heart disease. Soup is a filling, nutrient-dense meal that may be consumed in a short period. There is no need to overdo it; only a half cup will trick. Because most Asian soups are cooked with bones and various veggies, even a small serving provides a significant amount of nutrition. Soups are a great source of vitamins and minerals, and they’re easy to digest. Another benefit of soup (and tea) is that it aids digestion because of the warmth of the liquid.

How have language and culture impacted Access to healthcare

The Asians believe that mental health is taboo. This makes people suffering from mental health shy off from seeking mental health, making the matter worse, and most mental diseases require to be treated early enough. Family and community influences, particularly in different nations, leave their mark on everyone, especially true for their religious views. Asians, for example, place a high value on their family. The family’s dignity and interests often take precedence over the individual’s. Knowing how to handle circumstances like these while offering health care is very beneficial in ensuring that patients get the best care possible (Stubbe, 2020).

Communication with the healthcare provider

Although this patient spoke English as his second language, it was not easier to understand one another. at times, and I had to use non-verbal cues to reinstate my message and create empathy and connection with the patient. The language barrier may result in death in the healthcare business if it is not addressed. Without sufficient techniques and linguistic solutions to enable successful communication, patients might lose the motivation to seek the treatment they need. Anxious patients make for easy prey for medical blunders; this anxiety is compounded when patients don’t understand their physicians. For a healthcare center to be welcoming, trustworthy, and welcoming to all its patients, its staff must be fluent in many languages.

Analyze the concept of cultural humility based on the information that you gathered in the Interview.

During this interview, I realized that cultural humility is essential when treating any patient. As a healthcare provider, one should be aware of how people’s culture might influence their health behaviors and utilize this information to build compassionate ways of treating patients (Greene-Moton, & Minkler, 2020).
