Cultural differences in reactions to patient behaviour: A comparison of Swedish and Australian health professionals

Health practitioners' perceptions of family attitudes toward children with disabilities: A comparison of six communities in a multicultural society.

“…As increasing numbers of people from the ethnic communities are employed in the mainstream health services, the possibilities of mismatch between rehabilitators' and clients' cultural backgrounds and attitudes multiply. While residence in Australia and/or receiving a professional education there seems likely to result in a shift of ethnic professionals' attitudes toward those of Anglo Australians, training in western medicine does not eliminate cultural differences in reactions to patients' behavior in rehabilitation (Westbrook, Nordholm, & McGee, 1984).…”

Medical residents beliefs and concerns about using opioids to treat chronic cancer and noncancer pain: A pilot study

“…Certain beliefs, attitudes, and disease models about pain and how it should be handled by patients and treated by physicians are formed long before students arrive in medical school (probably very early in life) and are molded by ethnic and cultural values and norms [21]. Clinicians' responses to patients' pain are also influenced by many of these same factors [22] and continue to be modified by clinical experience [23].…”

How can statistical significance be determined when multiple tests are used?

“…The implication ©1999 AFB, All Rights Reserved for therapy is that a person needs support at two levels in his or her rehabilitation process: the emotional level and the level of coping with daily activities. In an early study Westbrook, Nordholm, and McGee (1984) found that Swedish health care personnel were more likely to help clients with low vision with appropriate technical aids than to talk with them about emotions. A system of free technical aids and assistive devices encouraged a technical solution and often neglected the clients' psychological needs.…”
