Blackness and Health
a central part of healthcare is effective communication between patient and provider. A lot of these communication needs are not met
-
quality and engagement of this communication is a critical factor in the continuation of these health disparities
high quality provider-patient communication is most effective when it is bidirectional, patient-centered, and involves active listening to understand the true nature of the health issues.
good communication often means patient will find better health outcomes, are more likely to follow up with doctor's recommendations or treatments, and are more likely to have trust in the care system that they're accessing.
Mistrust of providers mostly about the genuineness of care, not mistrust in clinical ability. Especially considering history of eugenics in medicine and unethical studies done on Black population
Black patients who report negative experiences and discrimination in accessing healthcare often experience poorer health outcomes.
may be less likely to disclose information about their illness or have an effective, interpersonal conversation.
Goal of this study: use cultural safety conceptual framework to analyze themes of discrimination, mistrust, low health literacy, and culture/language barriers on health literacy.
discrimination of Black vs White patients: white patients treated differently in triage, medical intervention for black patients often delayed longer than white patients.
discrimination causes physical health issues as well, like elevated heart rate, BP, inc. production of biochemical reactions, hypervigilance all lead to early onset of disease/ early mortality that contributes to the disparities we observed.
low health literacy increases patient's chances of poor health outcomes, hospitalizations, and even doubles risk of mortality.
fueled by SES, low education, language barriers
Interventions: providers should prioritize their genuine interpersonal patient relationships and prioritize cultural safety.
