Traditional healing as a health care delivery system in a transcultural societyBereda, Julia Elisa January 2002 (has links)
This study analyzed the role of traditional healing as a health care delivery system in the context of a transcultural society. The perspectives, experiences and personal accounts of 90 respondents were assessed with respect to the categories used by the World Health Organization in its goal of primary health care. Focusing in the research setting that was based in the Limpopo Province, in South Africa the researcher sought to determine whether health practitioners appreciated and understood traditional healing system; if health institutions could integrate traditional healing systems; and how collaboration of the two health systems can be realized. Furthermore, drawing on a blend of qualitative and quantitative research design, the research project was intended to establish the extent to which traditional medicine equipped health practitioners with knowledge of traditional healing techniques and whether practitioners would reconcile traditional and conventional medicine.
Drawing on a modified version of the structure of Leininger's Sunrise model, which states that cultural, physical and social structure dimensions are influenced by multiple factors. The research findings offer insights into the historical, social, economic, cultural, among other developments, that lead to integrationist approach in health care systems. Concluding remarks that health practitioners should pursue a policy of neutrality follow a discussion of the findings, emphasizing, the need to allow health consumers to seek traditional health care system, if they so desire. Recommendations include suggestions for further research to determine effective partnerships between traditional and conventional health care systems. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

The praxis of cultural competence in medical education : using environmental factors to develop protocols for actionStohs, Sheryl Magee 26 April 2005 (has links)
Cultural competence is a topic that concerns social scientists and medical
anthropologists who pay attention to demographic changes and health disparities.
This study demonstrates practical approaches to developing cultural competence in
medical education by using factors from the social environment to develop protocols
for action. With current concerns in domestic and global health care, it is evident that
health care organizations struggle to deliver culturally appropriate services.
Additionally, educational institutions also struggle to evaluate culturally applied
medical practices and competencies. Unlike medical competence, cultural competence
is seldom evaluated, and as a result, a gap exists in health care delivery. The purpose
of this research is to examine the changes in self-assessment of physician assistant
(PA) medical students and graduates, as indications of changes in their medical
practice and attitudes. Key objectives explore how PA medical students self-assess
their own cultural competence; what factors impact their evaluation, and if change
indicates cultural competence.
The methodology consisted of a qualitative approach designed to conduct
focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and field work, while results of existing
quantitative data was used to inform the study. Triangulation methods substantiated
the findings along with environmental and data analysis to provide rigor to this
investigation. Participants were students and graduates from a Physician Assistant
Studies Program in Oregon.
Major findings showed changes in participants' cultural competence self
assessment due to a change in self-awareness, exposure and experiences with diverse
underserved populations, in domestic and international encounters with the real world.
In conclusion, change in self assessment had actually occurred, but the change in the
quantitative results really portrayed a level of development on a cultural competency
continuum, but not cultural competence itself.
It followed from these findings that using components which influenced
change along with external and internal environmental factors, provided a basis for a
model to establish procedures for action. This strategic model, the praxis of cultural
competence, takes critical elements or protocols to move medical students from theory
to practice. From the results of this study we can see evidence of closing the gap
between the theory of cultural competence and culturally competent practices. / Graduation date: 2005
