Is centering session discussion consider the sensitive cultural issues?

Answer 1

Cultural issues are the barriers for effective health care services that meet the social, cultural, and linguistic needs of patients. However, the impact of sensitive cultural issues in centering session is minimal when compared to other healthcare services since the centering session covers mostly nutrition, common discomforts, oral health, relaxation techniques, preterm labour, childbirth preparation, family planning, breastfeeding and understanding about other pregnancy complications.

The considerable factors includes race, ethnicity, nationality, language, socioeconomic status, physical and mental ability and occupation. Key cultural issues are literacy level, language and communication barriers that may lead to inappropriate direction, patient dissatisfaction, poor comprehension and adherence.
