ST. LOUIS — Failing to under
stand and respect a hospital patient’s
culture may be just as harmful to a
satisfactory recovery as failing to pre
scribe proper medical treatment.
That lesson is taught by Marilyn
Rubin, a professor at St. Louis Uni
versity, in her course on transcul-
tural nursing.
Not every culture views illness in
the same way, Rubin said in an inter
view, so American hospitals and
nurses should be careful not to im
pose distinctly American values on
patients from other backgrounds.
“We don’t study every culture,’’
Rubin said, “but we use a few exam
ples to whet the students’ appetites,
to open theiTeyes to these questions.
“We want to make sure they’re not
denying anything to their patients
j just because they don’t understand
their needs. It works.’’
; Lectures by representatives of
black, American Indians and
Chinese cultures are part of the
course. Rubin recalled what a black
nurse on the university’s staff told
! the students:
“After white patients have been
hospitalized for a few days, nurses
probably will address them by their
first name. The patients may be cal
ling the nurses by their first name.
But blacks generally don’t like that.
“They want to be addressed more
formally, to be called Mr. or Mrs.
They haven’t had a history of this
respect in our culture — for a long
time it was ‘Hey, boy’ or calling them
by their first name. They want to be
addressed with respect. It affects the
personalization of their care.”
Rubin said care should also be
taken in assigning personnel — black
patients generally want white doc
tors and nurses to look after them.
“It may not be true that the whites
give better care, ” she said, “but the
blacks often judge the quality of their
care by what the white patients get. ”
Hospital rules may seem arbitrary
and impersonal to all patients, re
gardless of background. But to
someone from another culture,
Rubin said, they may seem particu
larly harsh and could even be harm
ful.
‘ Some patients, when they are
acutely ill, may not want their
spouses to be with them. American
Indians want their mother’s sisters,
who are very important to them.
“When a Chinese father is dying,
it’s the oldest son who should be
there. If this is denied to the son, and
only the wife may go in, this‘could be
terribly upsetting to the family. It
goes against their culture, their tra
dition, sometimes even their reli
gious beliefs.’
Interest in transcultural nursing is
new but growing, Rubin said. In a
profession dedicated to helping pa
tients be comfortable and recover as
easily as possible, little things can
mean a lot.
“If you’ve ever visited in a foreign
country where they don’t speak
English, you know how good it is to
come home and hear your mother
tongue. That’s how it is with these
people.”

MOSCOW — Why the constant
reference to weather, tension and
depression among U.S. diplomats
and their families stationed here?
“Bitching and griping are common
ways to deal with stress,” said Dr.
Samuel Karson, clinical psychologist
under contract with the State De
partment’s medical section.
“Chekhov had a story about a man
whose friend had died. He wanted to
talk but couldn’t find anyone to lis-

You save about one-half the cost of using a moving
company by renting a Ryder truck and moving it yourself. Not
bad pay for doing your own moving, is it? And, with
Ryder, you know that you’re renting a truck from the best-

to know when you’re rolling across the highway with all
