How can families support culturally sensitive pediatric care?
Families can support culturally sensitive care by:
- Sharing Information: Openly discuss their cultural beliefs and practices with health care providers. - Seeking Clarification: Ask questions to understand medical advice and how it fits within their cultural context. - Advocating for Needs: Request interpreters or culturally appropriate resources when necessary. - Collaborating with Providers: Work together with health care providers to find acceptable and effective treatment plans that respect cultural beliefs.
