Healthcare narratives from diverse communities--a self-assessment tool for healthcare providers.

Research examining cultural diversity in the healthcare context has produced general themes about particular patient populations, and tools based on this research vary in their approach to improving cultural sensitivity and competency. Some tools pose questions that providers may ask patients to help them become better informed about their culture; others name areas of sensitivity that providers ought to be aware of in caring for culturally diverse patients. This tool is different. It focuses on the provider and its goal is to raise the provider's consciousness through self-reflection and examination. It consists of three parts: stories from interviews with actual patients followed by thought-provoking questions; commentaries on four of the narratives to help you measure your assessment of the ethical issues contained in each one; and a decision-making analysis grid to help you use the tool more effectively. It concludes with a bibliography for additional reading.
