The use of problem-based learning in dealing with cultural minority groups.

Abstract:

:Minority peoples like the Romanies have divergent cultures. Typical cultural aspects for medical personnel to consider would include greetings and other communication, family and social support, dressing and habits of cleanliness, marriage and sexuality, honor, and other issues of importance to any human being. Some minority cultures have no geographic boundaries but they still may adopt the lifestyles of the country they live in. Physicians have to reckon with these different cultural patterns when dealing with patients. Patients must be treated equally at the same time when their personal needs require individual consideration. This consideration is reflected in both verbal and non-verbal communication with the other. Both the sender and the receiver of a message would need to know of the other. Minority groups tend to know more about the majority groups than vice versa. Most health care providers belong to the majority group and would be expected to learn more about the other. Problem-based learning can help students to understand attitudes of minority patients (like the Romanies) and handle the situation. In this instance, the students collected theory base from existing legal, cultural, and other resources and interviewed a Romany woman to verify that the information pertaining to the female case was correct. This combination of theory and experience was considered useful in preparing a case presented to a seminar with 116 medical and dental students in 1994.
