- 3. RECOGNIZING SIMILARITIES 1.People realize that many personal beliefs and practices do, in fact, differ from what they are being taught in nursing or medical education to accept as the right way of doing things. 2. Participants begin to admit that they do not seek medical care when the first symptoms of illness appear. On the contrary, they usually delay seeking care and often elect to self-treat at home. 3. Another facet of a group discussion is the participants exposure to the similarities that exist among them in terms of HEALTH maintenance and protection. To their surprise and delight, they find that many of their daily acts routines they take for granted directly relate to methods of maintaining and protecting HEALTH.
- 4. TRANSFERENCE TO PATIENTS AND OTHERS The awareness we gain helps us understand the behavior and beliefs of patients and, for that matter, other people better. Given this understanding, we are comfortable enough to ask patients how they interpret a symptom and how they think it ought to be treated. We begin to be more sensitive to people who delay in seeking health care or fail to comply with preventive measures and treatment regimens. We come to recognize that we do the same thing. The increased familiarity with home HEALTH practices and remedies helps us project this awareness and understanding to the patients who are served. The goal of this kind of consciousness raising session is to reawaken the participant to the types of HEALTH practices within her or his own family. The other purpose of the sharing is to make known the similarities and differences that exist as part of a cross-ethnocultural and religious phenomenon.

- 6. TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM During the days of the early colonists, our health care system was a system of superstition and faith. It has evolved into a system predicated on a strong belief in science; the epidemiological model of disease; highly developed technology; and strong values of individuality, competition, and free enterprise. Health problems have evolved from the epidemics of 1850 to the chronic diseases of today, notwithstanding the resurgence of tuberculosis and the AIDS epidemic. In 1850, health care technology was virtually nonexistent; today, it dominates the delivery of health care. We now take for granted such dramatic procedures as kidney, heart, and liver transplants. New technologies and biomedical milestones are materializing daily (Torrens, 1988, pp. 331).
