Case Study Example for HLPR 2010 Purpose: This example is to provide students with more context to complete the first part of the discussion boards. The example below reflects how this answer addresses each criterion for part one. Part two is the response to peer’s posts, which is self-explanatory (See rubric guidelines in syllabus). Additionally, please review the case study rubric to see how points are dispersed between an excellent discussion, good discussion, and poor discussion. Case Study for Chapter 2 (pg 49): “Public health workers are offering free measles vaccinations to children. The worker is speaking with parents of a child and explaining why the vaccination is important. The parents express concerns that the vaccine will interfere with God’s plan, and they refuse to have a child vaccinated. Consider these related questions: 1. What are the parent’s beliefs about how health is maintained? Answer: According to the content in Chapter 2, the parent’s beliefs are aligned with the personalistic belief system. With this belief system, individuals believe that a person’s health is related to their actions or violations against spiritual or religious norms. [According to Carteret (2011), many cultural groups (e.g., Native Americans and people from Latin America and Asia) have these belief systems. This also means that personalistic belief systems around the world are not all based on the same concepts[.

Using the Purnell Model for cultural competence, what approach, if any, should the public health workers take to help protect the child by assisting the parents with understanding the need for the vaccinations? Answer: This is not an easy question, which makes sense since cultural views is not a “one size fits all”. | do feel that the health care workers could have approached this family a better way if they were aware of the family’s belief system. With the Purnell model, the health care workers should have asked if the parents felt comfortable with this option of treatment (spirituality) and by doing so they would have acknowledged different religious beliefs as it connects to vaccines {Health Care Practitioners). It seemed that the heath care workers were only identifying with the biomedical medicine. h'his brought me back to the fidea of health disparities that was discussed in chapter one. | wonder if the family /[Commented [JBA]: Critical analysis of content felt social isolated and maybe not valued for their belief system.
