Hello class, Please see attached file to view my poster. My selected cultural population is Hmong. The Hmong originated from Southeast Asia with much of the immigrants being originally from Laos. California is currently noted to have the largest number of Hmong residents, followed by Minnesota and then Wisconsin. The Hmong population was selected due to their prevalence within the communities that I serve and their frequency of diabetes. The Hmong are at a higher risk for Type 2 diabetes and preventative education for health promotion is needed to reduce the number of newly diagnosed diabetes cases. Hmong along with other Asian American’s risk for diabetes is 60% higher than non-Hispanic Whites. Diabetes is a high priority health issue for Healthy People 2030 and reducing the number of new diagnosed cases is the objective to improve health. Diabetes within the Hmong population is growing due to the rising obesity epidemic because of their acquired sedentary Western lifestyle. Their risk for complications from diabetes, comorbidities and potential death is also higher given their lack of knowledge of western medicine, illiteracy, lack of formal education and complications with interpretation of western medicine. The Hmong have little experience with Western medicine causing difficulty in understanding medical care, procedures and often cause fear and distrust of medical staff. Because of this individualized, easily understood and effectively communicated preventative health education, explanation of medical procedures and diagnosis is needed for this patient population. The Hmong written language was not developed until the 1950’s resulting in many older people within the Hmong population being illiterate. When supplying patient educational material, it is imperative to know whether the patient can read or has a family member who can read and to make sure any Hmong written information given to them is in the correct dialect. It is equally important to make sure any Hmong interpreters used are proficient in the specific dialect of the Hmong patient otherwise communication may be limited or misunderstood. [Show More]
