Preparing Interview Questions for “A Cultural Interview” Assignment
· The culture I will be exploring and interviewing is Philippine.
· Using the Mind Map to prepare a list of questions that will help you gain insights into the Philippine cultural aspects of healthcare for your selected interviewee.
· Ensure your questions are respectful and culturally sensitive.
Submit questions as a Word document.
Let’s start by creating the mind map and preparing the documents for submission.
### Mind Map for Providing Culturally Appropriate Care
The six cultural phenomena according to Giger and Davidhizar are:
- **Communication**
– **Description**: This involves the ways in which people communicate, including language, gestures, body language, facial expressions, and use of silence.
– **Example**: In Philippine culture, respectful communication often involves using honorifics and avoiding direct eye contact with elders as a sign of respect.
- **Space**
– **Description**: Refers to the physical distance maintained in interpersonal interactions, personal space, and territoriality.
– **Example**: Filipinos may have different comfort levels with personal space and may prefer closer proximity in interactions compared to Western norms.
- **Social Organization**
– **Description**: Encompasses the social structures within a community, including family, religious groups, and other social institutions.
– **Example**: The extended family is a central aspect of Philippine culture, often influencing healthcare decisions and providing support in times of illness.
- **Time**
– **Description**: Cultural perceptions of time, including punctuality, time orientation (past, present, future), and the importance of time.
– **Example**: Filipinos may have a more flexible approach to time, often described as “Filipino Time,” where events may start later than scheduled.
- **Environmental Control**
– **Description**: The degree to which individuals believe they can control their environment and health outcomes.
– **Example**: In Philippine culture, some individuals may combine traditional healing practices with modern medicine, believing in the influence of spiritual and environmental factors on health.
- **Biological Variations**
– **Description**: Differences in genetic, physical, and physiological characteristics among different populations.
– **Example**: Filipinos may have a higher prevalence of certain genetic conditions, such as G6PD deficiency, which healthcare providers should be aware of.
I will create the mind map in a Word document and then save it as a PDF.
### Preparing Interview Questions for “A Cultural Interview” Assignment
Based on the mind map, here are the interview questions:
- **Communication**
– How do you prefer to communicate with healthcare providers? (e.g., verbal, non-verbal, through family members)
– Are there any specific terms or honorifics that should be used when addressing you or your family members?
- **Space**
– How do you feel about physical touch and proximity during medical examinations?
– Is there a preferred way for healthcare providers to enter your personal space?
- **Social Organization**
– Can you describe the role of family in your healthcare decisions?
– Are there any specific religious or community leaders who influence your health choices?
- **Time**
– How important is punctuality in healthcare appointments to you?
– Do you have any cultural practices related to time that healthcare providers should be aware of?
- **Environmental Control**
– Do you use any traditional healing practices alongside modern medicine?
– How do you perceive the control over health outcomes (e.g., fate, spiritual beliefs, personal responsibility)?
- **Biological Variations**
– Are there any common health conditions within your community that you think healthcare providers should know about?
– How do you feel about genetic testing or screenings?
I will create these questions in a Word document.
### Submission
I will now prepare the Word and PDF documents.
