How Can Nurses Address Cultural and Social Barriers?
Understanding and respecting cultural and social factors are essential in promoting medication adherence. Nurses should:
1. Cultural Competence: Gain an understanding of the cultural beliefs and practices of the patient population they serve. 2. Tailored Education: Provide culturally sensitive education that respects the patient's beliefs and values. 3. Community Resources: Connect patients with community resources that can support their healthcare needs.
