    Nurse Conchita is preparing a health promotion class for a group of migrant workers from Gaswiling. [1] She should first conduct a cultural assessment of the group to understand their background and avoid stereotyping. [2] There are likely language barriers as most speak Ibaloi and Ilocano rather than Tagalog. Heart disease and obesity from traditional foods as well as use of traditional healers are risks to be aware of. [3] Nurse Conchita should involve the community to improve effectiveness, carefully assessing available strengths, resources, and talents to provide support.

    CASE STUDY 2

    Questions

    1. What is the first step that Nurse Conchita should take to prepare for her health-promotion
    class?

     Nurse Conchita needs to conduct a cultural assessment with the migrant group in which
    she asks about their ethnic background, religious preferences, family patterns, cultural
    values, language, education, and politics. This information will help Nurse Conchita
    understand the migrant workers from their own point of view and to recognize their
    uniqueness, thus avoiding stereotyping. When appropriate, Nurse Betty must use the
    four modes of action for negotiating with the group and giving culturally competent
    care: cultural preservation, cultural accommodation, cultural re-patterning, and culture
    brokering.

    2. What are the language barriers, specific risk factors, and traditional healing practices that
    Nurse Conchita must be aware of if she is to successfully interact with the participants in
    Gaswiling?

     Because most of the migrant workers speak only their own language and Nurse
    Conchita can speak only a little Tagalog ang lets say she is Spanish, a language barrier
    exists then. Heart disease and obesity are associated with the foods Hispanics prefer.
    Hispanics may seek an alternative healer called a curandero, espiritualista, or yerbero
    for medical care. Nurse Conchita must consider these factors when advising about
    health-promotion activities and interventions that the group would most likely use.
    Nurse Conshita will also need to involve an interpreter to address the problem of the
    language barrier. Since in Gaswiling the most language they are using are Ibaloi and
    Ilocano language and not that much for Tagalog language.

    3. How can Nurse Conchita involve the community to improve the effectiveness of her health-
    promotion class?
    Communities can help patients (and thus providers) with communication, explanation, crisis
    intervention, emotional and other forms of support, and housing. Nurse Conchita must carefully
    assess the community and learn what strengths, resources, and talents are available.
