Diet Counseling in a Multicultural Society

Successful diet counseling is dependent on culturally sensitive communication strategies. Health care practitioners can improve cross-cultural counseling through a four-step process. First, they must become familiar with their own cultural heritages. Second, they must become acquainted with the cultural background of each client. Third, through an in-depth cross-cultural interview, they must establish the client's cultural background, food habit adapta tions made in the United States, and personal preferences. Fourth, they must modify diets based on unbiased analysis of the dietary data. The best chance for compliance occurs when diets are modified with consideration for client's cultural and personal preferences.

AbstrakManusia dalam ajaran agama diciptakan terdiri dari beragam suku dan bangsa yang kesemuanya itu ditujukan untuk saling mengenal budaya, adat istiadat, cara beribadah, cara bermuamalah dan sebagainya. Di Indonesia saja terdiri atas beragam suku yang mendiami pulau-pulau yang bertebaran di seluruh pelosok Indonesia. Belum lagi penduduk dunia yang dihuni milyaran manusia juga terdiri dari berbagai suku, bangsa, agama, dan bahasa. Kesemuanya memiliki cara pandang dan cara hidup yang berbeda antara satu dengan lainnya. Namun, tidak selamanya keragaman budaya, agama, dan bahasa dapat berjalan beriringan, adakalanya terjadi gesekan-gesekan kecil maupun besar yang apabila tidak diselesaikan akan menjadi masalah yang lebih besar. Maka dari itu konseling dibutuhkan sebagai solusi atas permasalahan yang timbul. Terlebih lagi yang dihadapi konselor terdiri dari manusia yang berbeda latar belakang budayanya. Karenanya, konselor lintas budaya harus memiliki karakteristik tertentu yakni, pertama: konselor lintas budaya harus sadar terhadap nilai-nilai pribadi yang dimilikinya, kedua, konselor lintas budaya harus sadar terhadap karakteristik konseling secara umum, ketiga, konselor lintas budaya harus mengetahui pengaruh kesukuan, dan mereka harus mempunyai perhatian terhadap lingkungannya, keempat, konselor lintas budaya tidak boleh mendorong seseorang klien untuk memahami budayanya (nilai-nilai yang dimiliki konselor), dan kelima, konselor lintas budaya dalam melaksanakan konseling harus mempergunakan pendekatan eklektik.

Counseling Approach

This article examines the nature and limits of the existing cross-cultural counseling discourses in order to search for a more culturally sensitive cross-cultural counseling approach. The authors pinpoint the inherent cultural deficiencies of the existing modification-based cross-cultural counseling approaches and advocate that the cross-cultural counseling process should be an inter-subjective interaction between the counselors and counselees, both of whom are products of their own culture. Cross-cultural counseling therefore should be seen as a contextualized cultural activity which requires the open-mindedness and sensitivity of the practitioners to the cultural influence of both their clients and themselves.
