Community Cultural Need
1. Describe specific culture/ethnic population selected in detail. Utilize scholarly sources to validate your answers.
a. Preferred name of the culture/population by members
b. Health practices (may include illness beliefs, symptom management, birth practices, death practices)
c. Spiritual practices and preferences
Individuals of African descent with a distinctive cultural identity and historical history in the United States are referred to as African Americans. Traditional African beliefs and historical events like enslavement, racial discrimination, and unequal access to healthcare all affect the health practices of the African American population (Marshall, 2019). Some African Americans may possess cultural ideas about health, such as the value of community support during sickness and the impact of spirituality on well-being. Some people may use herbal medicines or conventional food approaches in their health routine while managing their diabetes. Many African Americans place a high value on spirituality and have close relationships with religious organizations and faith-based rituals. Churches often act as vital communal hubs, encouraging a feeling of identity and offering emotional support (Marshall, 2019). Spiritual practices and beliefs may impact people’s health choices and coping processes, including managing chronic diseases like diabetes.
2. Describe rationale for selecting this population.
Jacksonville, Florida’s African American community, suffers particular difficulties regarding healthcare access and health outcomes. Health inequalities result from historical and socioeconomic variables, especially chronic illnesses like diabetes (Marshall, 2019). To create successful interventions that encourage diabetes control and education suited to their particular requirements, it is essential to understand the community’s cultural attitudes and behaviors toward health.
3. Describe a cultural/ethnic need within your area, clinical practice, or community.
There is an urgent need in the Jacksonville area for healthcare services that are culturally sensitive and specifically target the health issues that African Americans confront (Marshall, 2019). Disparities continue despite several initiatives to enhance diabetes treatment and education, underlining the need for specialized interventions that consider this community’s cultural specifics.
4. Describe the approved health issue from your chosen cultural population.
Details of the Health Issue
1. Describe how the health issue is based on the Leading Health Indicator (LHI) priorities from Healthy People.
Diabetes care and education for adults are in accordance with the Leading Health Indicator (LHI) of “Diabetes,” as described in Healthy People. The LHI seeks to prevent, treat, and manage diabetes to lessen its adverse effects on people and communities (LHI, n.d.)
2. Describe the reason why the health issue was selected.
Diabetes affects millions of Americans, especially African Americans. Since diabetes is more frequent among them, they are more likely to acquire it. To effectively address this health problem within the African American community, it is crucial to understand the cultural influences on diabetes management (Marshall, 2019).
3. Why it is important to focus on this health issue?
For several reasons, it is vital to concentrate on diabetes treatment and education among African Americans. Priority one is to address health inequities and advance equality in healthcare outcomes (Marshall, 2019). Uncontrolled diabetes can give rise to dire consequences like heart issues, organ harm, and limb removal. Increasing diabetes self-management skills among Jacksonville’s AA population can lead to higher quality of life.
Clinical Impact
1. How can this content be related to clinical practice in general?
Relevance to Clinical Practice: Healthcare providers must understand how cultural beliefs, traditions, and socioeconomic factors of health impact African Americans’ diabetes management (Marshall, 2019). Knowing these characteristics helps clinicians deliver culturally competent care, improve patient-provider communication, and design effective treatment regimens that meet patients’ needs.
2. How do the community cultural needs and details of the health issue impact your area, clinical practice, or community?
Programs for managing and educating people with diabetes that are community-focused and sensitive to cultural differences may significantly influence how well people with diabetes do in Jacksonville’s African American community (Marshall, 2019). Healthcare professionals may involve the community in diabetes prevention and management by developing trust and understanding, improving overall health outcomes.
