“…The TT also may provide appropriate communication tools for healthcare providers and organizations as they incorporate cultural competency principles into health services delivery practices for minorities and underserved groups (Hodge et al, 1998). Available research suggests that Latinos and persons with low socioeconomic status are less likely to access appropriate and preventive healthcare, and may be less likely to comply with treatment and healthy behavior changes (Furino, 1992).…”

“…Cultural beliefs and practices within tribal and urban communities as well as the usual barriers of income and lack of health insurance restrict access to formal help, such as health care providers. Hodge, Toms, and Guillermo (1998) addressed the need for cultural competency training for formal health care providers (e.g., physicians and nurses) who deliver health care to Native American communities. Such training emphasizes respect and awareness of cultural beliefs and practices.…”

Utilizing storytelling to transmit educational messages is a traditional pedagogical method practiced by many American Indian tribes. American Indian stories are effective because they present essential ideas and values in a simple, entertaining form. Different story characters show positive and negative behaviors. The stories illustrate consequences of behaviors and invite listeners to come to their own conclusions after personal reflection. Because stories have been passed down through tribal communities for generations, listeners also have the opportunity to reconnect and identify with past tribal realities. This article reports on a research intervention that is unique in promoting health and wellness through the use of storytelling. The project utilized stories to help motivate tribal members to once more adopt healthy, traditional lifestyles and practices. The authors present and discuss the stories selected, techniques used in their telling, the preparation and setting for the storytelling, and the involvement and interaction of the group.Four men among the people happened to be standing, one to the east, one to the south, one to the west, and one to the north. The One Who Made the Earth spoke to one of these men, telling him, "Everything on earth has power to cause its own kind of sickness, make its own trouble. There is a way to cure all these things." Now this man understood that knowledge was available. Then those four stood there. On the first night, the one standing on the east side began to chant a set prayer all by himself. On the second night, the one on the south started to drum and sing lightning songs. On the third night, the one on the west chanted a set prayer. On the fourth night, the one on the north began to drum and sing lightning songs. They did not conceive this pattern in their own minds; it was bestowed on them by The One Who Made the Earth. It was as if the knowledge of what they should chant or sing had suddenly been transmitted to them from outside.Then, The One Who Made the Earth said to these four, "Why don't you go to the two sick men and say some words over them and make them well?" So those four went to where the two sick men were and worked over them, and they were cured. From that time on, we had curing ceremonies and knowledge of the different kinds of sickness that may be caused by various things. That is the way all curing ceremonies started. (Erdoes & Ortiz, 1984) This story tells how American Indian curing ceremonies began. It is an origin story emphasizing the concept that for every illness there is a curing ceremony. In addition, it suggests that curing comes from internal knowledge offered to people through a creator. The story emphasizes the value placed on believing in oneself, looking inside oneself for insight, and finding the strength there to cure illness. Knowledge is available in the world; it needs only to be identified, accepted, and utilized. The method of obtaining this knowledge can be found in stories or oral histories passed down through triba...

“…Needs assessments will be an absolute necessity and critical part of program planning to determine health related data specific to certain populations (Responsibilities I and II). Health education information, strategies, interventions, and programs must meet the diversity standard of being appropriate, accessible, acceptable, and adaptable 107 and health educators will need to be culturally competent (Responsibilities III and VII). It may be helpful for all health educators to participate in cultural competency trainings in preparation for working with racially and ethnically diverse individuals and communities.…”

Background: As life expectancy and morbidity related to chronic disease increase, the baby boomers will be called upon to provide care to aging members of their family or to be care recipients themselves. Purpose: Through the theoretical lens of the life course perspective, this review of the literature provides insight into what characteristics of baby boomers separate them from previous caregiving cohorts and how these characteristics will affect family caregiving.
