You are working with a family that has recently immigrated from China. Describe how a provider would work with this family differently depending on if they were using the cultural humility vs cultural competence perspective.
My response: When using the cultural humility approach, a provider would take time to get to know the individual and learn about their unique factors in how they make food choices. This can include their intercultural concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The provider would be sure to use culturally inclusive tools with the emphasis on being sensitive, acknowledging the individual's role in their own diet plan, and keeping an eye on their behavior during the discussion. When using the cultural competence perspective, the provider would take a more generalized approach when thinking about cultures and apply it to the patient. This perspective is likely to be less thoughtful and humble when discussing options with the family and poses the risk of crossing personal boundaries.
