Cross culture communication has become an integral part of today's world, especially in developed countries with a large population of immigrants. The health care system is one of the important areas in which health care practitioners and patients may be of different cultures, therefore there is a need of effective communication between culturally different patients and health practitioners. However, cross-culture communication is affected by psychological factors related to cultures and mind-set. Acculturation orientation is one of the important factors, and people with different orientations interact differently with people of different cultures. Cultural orientation is another important factor is which different domains define the characteristic features of different cultures. Moreover, the inclination to use native or non-native language with culturally different patients is a key factor for establishing a good relationship between patients and health care practitioners.
跨文化交际已经成为当今世界不可或缺的一部分，特别是在拥有大量移民的发达国家。医疗保健系统是医疗保健从业者和患者可能来自不同文化的重要领域之一，因此需要在文化背景不同的患者和医疗保健从业者之间进行有效的沟通。然而，跨文化交际受到与文化和思维方式相关的心理因素的影响。文化适应取向是一个重要因素，具有不同取向的人会与不同文化的人以不同的方式互动。文化取向是另一个重要因素，不同领域定义了不同文化的特征。此外，与文化背景不同的患者使用母语或非母语的倾向是建立患者与医疗保健从业者良好关系的关键因素。
