‘Under pressure’: how Ghanaian, African-Surinamese and Dutch patients explain hypertension

The aim of this study was to explore and compare explanatory models (EMs) of hypertension in nativeDutch, first-generation Ghanaian and African-Surinamese (Surinamese) hypertensives in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Through semi-structured interviews, we elicited accounts of the nature, causes and consequences of hypertension in a purposive sample of 46 patients (aged 35-65 years, treated for hypertension in general practice 41 year). All three groups had difficulty in describing hypertension. All groups mentioned culturally specific nutritional habits as possible causes of hypertension (Dutch liquorice; Ghanaians fufu; Surinamese salty diet). Most respondents, particularly those of Ghanaian and Surinamese background, perceived stress as the main cause of hypertension and experienced symptoms of hypertension. Many Ghanaian and Surinamese respondents attributed hypertension to migrationrelated factors: changes in diet or climate, stress owing to adaptation to the Dutch society or obligations towards family in their homelands. Many immigrants felt a return to their homeland could cure hypertension and were concerned about the consequences of hypertension. Half of the Dutch and almost all Ghanaian and Surinamese respondents believed uncontrolled hypertension could cause immediate damage. Some Ghanaians expressed reservations sharing their concerns with community members because it might cause social stigma. Few respondents associated hypertension with obesity, even though many were overweight. Confirming findings from UK and US studies, this study reveals that EMs of hypertension in patients from three ethnic groups differ from the common medical perspective. These differences are greater for patients from migrant groups. Our findings can be useful in developing patientcentred hypertension interventions, particularly in new migrant populations.

Resumen: La inclusión de las personas con discapacidad es una de las prioridades de las sociedades avanzadas, y para conseguirla, la educación constituye un instrumento de primera magnitud. En este trabajo se estudia el apoyo a la inclusión de estudiantes con discapacidad en el entorno universitario. El modelo teórico de referencia es el propuesto por la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado, que se ha aplicado utilizando los datos obtenidos a través de una encuesta realizada a 621 estudiantes de las titulaciones de Ciencias de la Educación en la Universidad de A Coruña, durante el curso 2010-2011. Los resultados muestran la importancia del género como factor diferenciador, revelando una mayor implicación de las mujeres que de los hombres para favorecer la inclusión de los compañeros universitarios con discapacidad. La relevancia de estos resultados aumenta si se considera la repercusión social que tiene esta mayor implicación del colectivo mayoritario en el ámbito de la educación en su fase más temprana, momento en el que se produce la formación de actitudes. Palabras clave: discapacidad; inclusión; género; actitudes; TPB; educación.Title: Future teachers and their attitude towards inclusion of people with disabilities. A gender perspective. Abstract: The inclusion of people with disabilities is a priority in advanced societies. To get it, education is one of the best tools. In this paper, we have studied the support for the inclusion of students with disabilities in the university environment. Our work is related to the theoretical model proposed by the Theory of Planned Behavior and was performed by using data obtained through a survey conducted at the University of A Coruña (Spain) during the 2010-2011 academic year, to 621 students from all degrees in Education Science. The results show the importance of gender as a differentiating factor, revealing a greater involvement of women compared to men, in the stimulus of the inclusion of their university peers suffering disability. The relevance of these results increases if we consider the social impact of this higher involvement of this group (women), that is majority in the primary education, when the formation of attitudes is developed. Key words: disability; inclusion; gender; attitudes; TPB; education. IntroducciónTratando de conseguir el llamado Estado del Bienestar, las políticas inclusivas han pasado a formar parte de las agendas de los gobiernos, lo que afecta a las políticas de atención a la diversidad, entre otras. El vínculo entre discapacidad y marginalización en la educación es evidente en todos los países, independientemente de su grado de desarrollo. Por ello, la consecución de la educación primaria está comprendida entre los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) (Naciones Unidas, 2010).La sensibilidad social generada hacia la discapacidad, unida a un mayor acceso de los estudiantes a la educación superior en los países más desarrollados, ha favorecido el incremento del número de alumnos con discapacidad que han ingresado en la universidad (Verd...
