The clinical practice of family medicine is increasingly cross-cultural. Promoting culturally sensitive and competent health care is one of the goals of medical educators in guiding medical students and residents, as well as designing continuing education for family physicians. Working with minority communities is essential to meet that goal. The Deaf community is a linguistic and cultural minority group that is often overlooked. Working with the Deaf community to help develop cultural competency and sensitivity has potential benefits. This article introduces some of the sociocultural experiences of deafness and their relevance in health care settings.
家庭医学的临床实践越来越具有跨文化性。促进具有文化敏感性和能力的医疗保健是医学教育工作者在指导医学生和住院医师以及设计家庭医生继续教育方面的目标之一。与少数族裔社区合作对于实现这一目标至关重要。聋人社区是一个经常被忽视的语言和文化少数群体。与聋人社区合作以帮助培养文化能力和敏感性具有潜在益处。本文介绍了一些耳聋的社会文化经历及其在医疗保健环境中的相关性。
