Ethnocentrism - MCH Odessa

Language & Translation
  • Those whose English is limited often wish to speak their native language when possible
  • They feel that both their explanations & their understandings can be more accurate
  • It is more comfortable
Ehnocentrism
Even though we understand that everyone s different, we still tend to subconsciously believe that our culture & religion is the right one. We may view other cultures or religions as bizarre, strange, inferior or unenlightened. This is called ethnocentrism

It can cause misunderstandings and harm patients by: 
  • Incorrect Dx[diagnoses]
  • Failure to provide adequate pain relief
  • Arrest of parent for child abuse due to misunderstood cultural childrearing beliefs and practices
Quoted from Hospital HR training MCH Odessa Texas
