Nursing Assignment on Impact of Interpersonal Behavior_1
Running Head: NURSING ASSIGNMENT2Does racism inhibit adequate provision of nursingRacism leads to harmful actions just because a person is perceived to come from a certain ethnic background. That prejudice based on the color of skin or a certain ethnicity should impact the healthcare delivery to a patient is unjust and compromises the health of a person is unfortunate. The impact of the differential interpersonal behaviour on the patient who is already facing health issues can occur in the form of psychological distress [ CITATION Kel14 \l 16393 ]. Patients who approach the healthcare system for relief from disease or illness return with negative experiences that causes them mental agony and the purpose of the healthcare system stands defeated. This also means that when the profession of nursing is laced with racism the care provision becomes unsafe for the patient. Reacting to the color of the patient, in an overt or a covert manner occurs because of prejudice and preconceived notions about the people of color being inferior than white people.In case of the Aboriginal people from Australia, the effects of colonisation, poverty have marginalised and disempowered the population. When they try to access healthcare, the racism that they have to endure is often due to the insensitivity of the white nurses who have little regard to the history that was unkind to this section of the population. The delay in seeking healthcare, their disengagement from the mainstream society, their cultural values that make them see health and well-being in a different light are often ignored. This occurs due to a lack of cultural insensitivity[ CITATION Tru11 \l 16393 ].The racial discrimination has caused so much distress that the Aboriginal patients in Australia prefer to get culturally competent care from nurses who belong to their own community because they are understoodbetter. This ensures better health outcomes for people who are discriminated against in healthcare settings on the grounds of race [ CITATION Kel141 \l 16393 ].Typification of Asian women in health services and the perception that all of them arealike has led to racial discrimination that undermines individual differences among them
