This article addresses some of the characteristics present among Hispanic women that may influence their course of pregnancy and their health in general.Many Hispanic people in the United States retain the customs and traditions of their country of origin. As a result, their use of preventive health care measures is lower than the majority of the population. Use of screening tests such as breast examinations and Papanicolaou smears are minimal among Hispanic women.Because of the tradition of paternalism among some in the Hispanic population, women are used to being told what to do, and as a result, they are hesitant to participate in their own health care. Physicians should be aware of the cultural differences and beliefs when treating pregnant Hispanic women. If these differences are understood and respected, the patient, in turn, will better respect the physician's opinion and advice.
本文探讨了西班牙裔女性中可能影响其孕期过程及整体健康的一些特征。在美国，许多西班牙裔人保留着其原籍国的习俗和传统。因此，他们对预防性医疗保健措施的使用率低于大多数人群。西班牙裔女性中乳房检查和巴氏涂片等筛查测试的使用率极低。由于西班牙裔人群中存在家长式作风的传统，女性习惯了被告知该做什么，因此她们在参与自身医疗保健方面犹豫不决。医生在治疗怀孕的西班牙裔女性时应意识到文化差异和信仰。如果这些差异得到理解和尊重，患者反过来会更好地尊重医生的意见和建议。
