Cultural Awareness
Less a body of knowledge than a spirit of inquiry

Social Constructivism(Rosenblatt)
There are no universals in grief
The only similarity is that “death may be difficult for everyone”
Each society constructs its own way to understand grief and mourning
![Page 8: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

GeographyShared Lifestyle

Spirituality as a Source of Diversity
A Transcendental Belief System
![Page 16: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Spirituality and Medicine Hippocrates “Prayer indeed is good
but while calling on the gods, a man should lend himself a hand”
“It is more important to know what sort of a person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”
![Page 17: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Spirituality” (Miller,1994)Spirituality relates to our souls
It involves the deep inner essence of who we areIt is an openness to the possibility that the soul
within each of us is related to the Soul of all that isSpirituality is what happens to us that is so
memorable we cannot forget it, and yet we find it difficult to talk about because words fail to
describe it Spirituality is the act of looking for meaning in the
deepest sense, and looking for it in a way that is authentically ours
![Page 18: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Religion” (Miller,1994)Now religion, on the other hand works in a different way
In fact, if you take the word back to its origins, “religion” means “ that which binds together” “that which ties things into a package”.
Religion has to do with collecting, solidifying, and consolidatingReligion say, “Here are special words meant to be passed on. Take them
to heart.”Religion says, “Here are a set of coherent beliefs. Take them as your
own.”Religion says, “Here are people to revere and historical events for you to
recall. Remember them”Religion says, “Here are ways to act when you come together as a group,
and here are ways to behave when you are apart.”

illness and loss

Spiritual Issues Can Be Manifest in:
Reactions to the illnessEnd-of-life and other ethical decisions –
Prigerson et al (2009) found religious people more likely to take aggressive actions at end-of-life perhaps through belief in miracles, might see DNR as thwarting the gift of life, or see value in suffering
Spiritual tasks at each phase of illness
![Page 26: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Spiritual Coping Hymns were often a
coping strategy for older African-Americans – assisting them in dealing with stressful life events
Counselors should consider using them in interventions
Hamilton, et al, 2013
![Page 29: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Spiritual Counter-Transference
Spiritual transference can occur when you impose your spiritual issues or practices on others (example – forgiveness)
Attempt to proselytize The client’s spiritual
struggles raise spiritual issues for you as well
![Page 30: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We can assist persons
When we become comfortable with our own spirituality and respectful of
other’s spirituality
![Page 31: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Faith as Destructive
Sometimes spiritual beliefs can be a source of tension or conflict --perhaps creating family divisions
People who believe the disease is a divine punishment may not adhere to treatment regimens
In other cases beliefs may cause distress (e.g. suicide, homosexuality etc.)
![Page 32: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

The Role of Cultural Assessment
Simply put, No case should ever be presented without an identification and analysis of cultural factors
![Page 34: Grief, Culture and Spirituality A Framework for Dealing With Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166fb550346895ddb5f04/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Health Professionals need to ... Gain knowledge about
patient’s culture Understand that their
own cultural views are just “one” way to look at reality
Develop communication skills that allow for nonjudgmental exchange of values in problem solving

Langston Hughes’ Mother to SonWell son, I’ll tell you
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.It’s had tacks in it,
and splinters, And boards torn up
And places with no carpet on the floor Bare.
But all the timeI’se been a-climbin’ on,And reachin’ landin’s
And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.Don’t you set down on the steps
“Cause you find it kinda hard.Don't you fall now –
For I’se still goin, honey,I’se still climbin
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair

Yet, these same values can discourage utilization of hospice; discourage advanced directives, and impair adaptation in the terminal phase.

A Reminder: Cultural Caveats The Sociological Fallacy
in interpreting research Cultural Competence +
Cultural Humility = Cultural Curiosity

about you (or your culture, your background) to serve you best?
Opening a dialogue

Areas of Cultural Conflict Historical Mistrust Interpretation of Disability –
some cultures may interpret disabilities as spiritual punishments or rewards
Locus of Decision-Making Communication Styles

perception of the problem Explain your perceptions
and treatment strategy Acknowledge differences
between perceptions Recommend treatment
while remembering patient’s parameters
Negotiate agreement

Cultural Sensitivity Do not make assumptions Question patients about
their beliefs Do not discount patient
beliefs Use indirect strategies
Many patients have told me the do _____ or visit _____. Do you?
Incorporate folk beliefs Be sensitive to cultural
taboos on information or on decision-making

identification Remember cohort differences Be eclectic yet experimental and evidenced-based
