“…This style of leadership would be expected to better create a context where staff can increase their awareness of culture and personal biases that may impact on care. As Reimann, Talavera, Salmon, Nufiez, andVelasquez's (2004, p. 2199) found 'cultural competent actions are only predicted by cultural awareness.' For effective cross-cultural communication and enhancing the likelihood of provision of culturally competent care staff need to be able to critique their own beliefs and values about other cultures.…”

“…There also appears to be differing views about diabetes among Mexicans of different ages, with younger people believing that it is curable and older people believing that it can only be controlled (Arcury, Skelly, Gesler, & Dougherty, 2004). The fear of insulin is still highly prevalent among many Mexican Americans (Caballero & Tenzer, 2007;Reimann, Talavera, Salmon, Nunez, & Velasquez, 2004). Some have the misconception that insulin is harmful and will make them worse, thus resulting in some being labeled as "noncompliant" when they refuse to initiate insulin therapy.…”

Mexican Americans suffer from disproportionately higher rates of type 2 diabetes and its associated complications than the general population. They also confront significant obstacles to health care access and may not receive the same quality of health care as non-Hispanic Whites. Understanding the factors contributing to their health disparities is critical for nurses and other health care providers working with Latino immigrants, especially those in emerging Latino communities such as North Carolina who may lack the established infrastructure of more traditional Latino communities. The purpose of this article is to explicate these factors and examine culturally competent diabetes interventions being used to assist Mexican Americans increase their knowledge of diabetes and health promoting behaviors in order to achieve better glycemic control and prevent complications.

“…Taylor [28] for example argues in the HIV/AIDS context that the view that cultures are spatialised, bounded, autonomous, and effectively immune from external critique has created chasms between biomedicine and 'the other' that can only undermine effective prevention practices. And Reimann et al [29] have argued that when there is evidence that cultural beliefs and practices are in part responsible for disproportionately high rates of disease incidence in ethnic groups (as when, for example, the cultural belief is that traditional remedies are curative when they are not), the sensible response is to educate practitioners in these beliefs to anticipate their impact on service delivery. It would be bizarre to deem these beliefs as true as a form of 'respect' for cultural difference.…”

Is the universality of human rights, such as those set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, incompatible with therapeutic strategies of respecting cultural differences? I show that universalism is essential to the notion of human rights, as well as the rarely explained, political slogan of 'the rights approach to disability'. Similarly, culture responsiveness is commonly defended by therapists. I argue that the conflict between universalism of rights and cultural sensitivity exist only if these positions are expressed in extreme form: rights absolutism and cultural relativity. If more sensibly spelled out--in the form of progressive realisation of rights and situational sensitivity of difference--there is no conflict at all. Indeed, these more reasonable positions are mutually supportive. I conclude that, given resource and other constraints, the realisation of human rights will always be a matter of political negotiation, and that a social commitment to equality demands that we ensure that only transparent, fully-informed and fully-participatory procedures, respectful of difference [are employed]. These principles should guide us when we have to make hard choices in the implementation of human rights.
