Culture, Caring, and Compassion
Culture consists of attitudes, beliefs, and values. Learning about culture helps patients
receive great care, produces better co-worker relationships, and improves job
performance.
• Self-awareness (self-reflection) on your personal values, bias, prejudices provide
insight to become open-minded when dealing with cultures other than your own
• Learn as much as you can about the cultures of your patients
• Value the diversity around you
• Read literature on cultural diversity
• Treat everyone fairly
