Health Education for Residential School Survivors, References Miller,…

- - - - Inadequate epidemiological control and treatment of these conditions lead to increased mistrust of the medical community.
- - - - Following consideration of these social determinants the nurse can begin to formulate an "effective and realistic education plan" (Miller & Stoeckel, 2019, p. 198).
- - - - The nurse recognizes that cultural competence is a lifelong practice and must continue to engage with their clients with respectful curiosity.
        
        The nurse can use previous knowledge of the client's cultural background to guide care, however, they must avoid homogenizing their clients' experiences based upon their cultural background. The nurse must make a commitment to lifelong learning about other cultures (Miller & Stoeckel, 2019).
        
        Nurses should "practice with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual." (Miller & Stoeckel, 2019, p. 198)
      - Nurses must educate themselves on the culture of the person/people they are caring for. Perceptions of health, wellness, and illness are defined differently by different cultures (Miller & Stoeckel, 2019). The nurse must understand these differences in order to choose interventions which are safe and appropriate for this person or population.
      - 4) The nurse must seek out opportunities to interact with as many clients from different backgrounds as possible, continuing the work of step three.
        
        5) Finally, the nurse must consolidate information that they have gathered about the client's culture and apply the relevant information to their physical and psychosocial assessments (Miller & Stoeckel, 2019). After performing these assessments the nurse can tailor their educational approach to fit the client's needs.
        
        6) Following client interactions nurses should reflect on their interactions and determine where they can improve for their next interaction and/or teaching opportunity. When possible, the nurse should ask for constructive feedback from colleagues to make improvements on their cultural competency and overall teaching approach.
        
        The nurse should use culturally specific client assessment tools and cross-cultural communication as they assess and treat the client.
        
        The nurse should use teaching strategies and instructional materials which are congruent with the client's language and culture.
