Cultural Belief Systems #2

Worldview

The set of metaphoric explanations used by a group of people to explain life’s events and to offer solutions to life’s mysteries

Permeates every aspect of life within the culture

Cultural Belief Systems #3

Worldview (paradigm) includes the assumptions, premises, and linkages that hold together a prevailing interpretation of reality; typically slow to change.

Question #1

Is the following statement true or false?

All clients refer to illness and disease in the same context.

Answer to Question #1

False

Rationale: Not all clients relate to health and illness in the same context. A client’s worldview influences his or her cultural belief system.

These are often the reasons why nurses may encounter challenges when communicating with those who have a different worldview than theirs.

Health Belief Systems #1

Health and illness worldviews are influenced by a person’s attitudes, beliefs, and practices.

This concept is his or her health belief system.

Health Belief Systems #2

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
