If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you
believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?
You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are
very real beliefs in some cultures.
Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language,
and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global
healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf
between practitioners and the public they serve.

issue by the United States and by one other country.
