Topics: Intro to Culture and Religion in Healthcare In healthcare environments, it is increasingly recognized that social determinants, such as ethnicity, socio-economic status, environment, etc., play important roles in determining the quality of care that is offered, as well as overall health outcomes. Recently, religious and spiritual concerns have been added to this list of social determinants of health. Indeed, there is evidence that, in some situations, attentiveness to these concerns is key to patient satisfaction. Through readings, discussion, guest speakers, role playing, etc., we will address the need to recognize the cultural and religious values of patients, clients, and health providers, the reality of inequities that have affected care, and the possibilities for rectifying such inequities.

This course delves into the intricate relationship between religion, spirituality, healing and whole person-centered care within the healthcare context. Students will explore the distinctions between religion and spirituality, and how these elements influence health behaviors, patient care, and the healing process. The course will cover various religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Native American, and Hmong practices, and their unique approaches to health and healing and even death. Additionally, contemporary spiritual practices such as mindfulness and meditation will be examined. Through case studies and practical applications, students will develop skills to address the spiritual and religious needs of patients, cultivate cultural humility, and integrate religious and spiritual care into healthcare practice. The course will also address the impact of grief on health and explore religious and spiritual approaches to healing. Each week, students will present case scenarios to their peers, providing spiritual and religious context and proposing best practices and approaches for whole person-centered care.
