Professionals may become frustrated when caring for the Chinese palliative patient and family, as we may expect them to behave or act like us. This paper discusses two distinctive characteristics which may be unfamiliar to Western caregivers. The first pertains to the concept of family-based popular health care, where the family assumes the major role of decision-maker on behalf of the patient. The second relates to the Eastern belief of silence surrounding the discussion of dying and the impending death, versus our Western orientation, which advocates openness and honesty. By gaining a greater understanding of these cultural traditions and practices, we can deliver more culturally sensitive health care to the Chinese patient and family.

The paper highlights the role of food, as an instrument of identity and intercultural contact, the contribution of traditional ethnic dishes in the reconstruction of the family context, connected to the migration process, and food as a form of communication in a different social context. It reflects the consequences of the exchange process, in which changes take place both in the cultural traditions of Moldovan immigrants and in Italian customs, due to the fusion of elements and ingredients borrowed through reciprocity, thus diluting the mental and social boundaries.

ABSTRACT Patient and family–centred care (PFCC) is an approach to health care that recognizes the integral role of the family and encourages mutually beneficial collaboration between the patient, family and health care professionals. Specific to the pediatric population, the literature indicates that the majority of families wish to be present for all aspects of their child's care and be involved in medical decision-making. Families who are provided with PFCC are more satisfied with their care. Integration of these processes is an essential component of quality care. This article reviews the principles of PFCC and their applicability to the pediatric patient in the emergency department; and it discusses a model for integrating PFCC that is modifiable based on existing resources.

Family interventions to treat childhood obesity are widely used, but knowledge about how family dynamics are affected by these interventions is lacking. The present study aims to understand how a family intervention impacts the context of family dynamics, and how different contexts affect the families’ implementation of the intervention. Based on qualitative interviews, we studied families with a child between 9–12 years enrolled in a family intervention to treat childhood obesity at a pediatric outpatient clinic. We conducted 15 family interviews including 36 family members. We found that the family intervention created a new context for the enrolled children. They had to navigate in different contexts and non-supportive environments and push for change if they needed more supportive environments in their attempt to adhere to healthy habits. We show the complexities experienced by parents and grandparents when trying to comply with siblings’ and/or grandchildren’s different needs. The enrolled children were often indirectly blamed if others had to refrain from unhealthy preferences to create supportive environments. These findings are significant in understanding the important role of contexts in family-obesity interventions. This knowledge is relevant to health professionals, researchers, and policymakers.

Aim:  investigate  the  exchange  of  related  support  health  care between the family, inserted in the center of the convoy model, and nurses of primary care.   Method:   descriptive   study,   conducted   with   30   users   of   Primary   Care   of Maracanaú/CE in July 2014. Appealed to the Collective Subject Discourse to organize the data  and  the  convoy  model  for  visualization  of  the  support  exercised  by  the  nurse. Results:  the  nurse  is  a  secondary  source  of  support  to  families;  their actions  are restricted to health facilities, demonstrating the mistaken role of their duties, and have focused on the orientation activities. Discussion: There are nurse's detachment regarding the  assisted  families,  as  well  as  influences  of  the  hegemonic  medical  model,  which distances  the  nurse  from  the  carrying  out  of  their  real  duties.  Conclusion:  nurses  are undervalued and pointed as a secondary reference in relation to families solving health problems.

Introduction: Family perceptions on the role of parents and the growth of infants must be seriously considered by healthcare workers since they can affect the role of family development in taking care of the babies. A family that has optimally understood the role of their development as a parent will be able to give the appropriate care for the babies.Methods: The study aimed to find out the effects of a family-based Maternal Sensitivity Models (MSM) strategy for family perception optimization on the role of parents and the growth of infants. It used a quasi-experimental design with the samples of 50 families. The samples were obtained using purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using dependent t-test.Results: It confirmed that the Family-Based Maternal Sensitivity Models (MSM) strategy significantly affects family perceptions on the role of parents with t-value 5.915 and p-value 0.000. MSM also significantly affects family perceptions on the growth infants with the t-value -11.257 and p-value 0.000.Conclusions: Maternal Sensitivity Models (MSM) can be well applied as one of the health models provided by healthcare workers to optimize parents’ perceptions and infants’ growth as well as to develop a competent family in giving care for their babies.

This paper examines some of the influences that contribute to health, life success, and resiliency in persons with craniofacial conditions. Those influences are examined from the perspective of the author, a 50-year-old man with cleft palate, right microtia, and hemifacial microsomia. A biosketch describes the author as one example of someone with craniofacial conditions who has also achieved significant personal and professional success. Central to that success were the influences of health care providers and parents as well as other people with craniofacial conditions. Specific attention is given to the benefits of a team approach to the care of patients with craniofacial conditions; the role of health care professionals in fostering the optimism that can mobilize the family for action; the importance of acknowledging the intransigence of stigma in our culture; the value of practical advice that affected individuals can offer one another.

AbstractThis study adapts a multi-level view of culture, including society- and family-based gender norms and the family embeddedness perspective, to predict the career status of a sample of 2897 young Europeans (aged 18–35) from 11 countries, with at least one self-employed parent. We find that gender identity is associated with career status such that a woman is more likely than a man to be an employee vs. a successor to a family firm but no less likely to be a founder as compared with either being an employee or successor. However, certain family and society-level culture variables combined with gender identity reverse these trends. A woman with caring responsibilities is more likely to be a successor than either a founder or employee. Also, while two-way interaction effects for traditional gender norms and having a self-employed mother are weak or not significant, the study finds that in combination, a woman reporting both traditional gender norms and having a self-employed mother is more likely to be a successor than being either an employee or a founder, reversing gender identity main effects. Incorporating the family embeddedness perspective and the role of culture in occupational choice, we develop a better view of the gender gap in entrepreneurship, finding that the family may serve as a stronger influence than society when implied norms of these two levels of culture clash. By examining actual rather than intended career choice, we also contribute to the occupational choice literature on youth employment.
