Abstract:
I am currently undertaking a course which includes reviewing culturally competent care which includes reviewing information including the above review
Working in the UAE with such a diverse cultural and religious population are we delivering culturally competent care, are individual staff aware of the many cultural similarities and diversities, the beliefs related to such rituals and the impact on current and future health. Do the organisational policies and procedures and the advice given to families include these areas as well as looking at evidence based practices
Does cultural competent care have an impact on the incidence of Post-natal depression and overall mental health and relationship with our children?
In contrast where cultures follow their rituals there is a low incidence of mental health issues in comparison to other countries with education, migration and moving away from the family unit are the rituals and beliefs changing?
