Overview
The U.S. Census estimates that Mexican-Americans represent 17.8% of the U.S. population, with over 33.6 million Americans listed as being of Mexican descent. Mexican-Americans comprise 64.3% of all Latinos in the U.S. Mexican-Americans demonstrate wide diversity in health beliefs and practices. Understanding these beliefs and practices can guide a nurse to establish trust, increase patient satisfaction, and provide flexible care that meets patient and family needs (Drevdahl, 2018). Applying knowledge and expressing appreciation of diverse healthcare beliefs can help to create a therapeutic partnership that increases understanding of the patient worldview and formulate effective interventions.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Identify at least four cultural values that influence perceptions of healthcare and at least two common folk illnesses recognized by Mexican-American communities.
- Indicate at least three health inequities experienced by Mexican-Americans and at least three interventions to help provide appropriate, culturally proficient care for Mexican-American patients and families.
