2 Introduction The manner in which persons who are afflicted with illnesses are treated is influenced by the various ways in which these ailments are interpreted and approached by various groups and cultures. There are certain groups that may display indifference and treat everyone in the same manner, but there are other organizations that may stigmatize people and treat them differently depending on the ailments they have. Ethnicity In the same way that many other cultures do, Asian culture has its own unique set of beliefs and values. There is a high focus placed on familial relationships for the sake of identification and security in Asian culture, which places a great deal of weight on the family unit. Children are expected to obediently comply with the norms and regulations set out by their parents, such as speaking only when they are spoken to and expressing opinions that are regarded significant (Carteret, n.d.). According to Carteret, many Asian cultures are apathetic to timeliness, and as a result, these cultures may appear late for meetings without offering an explanation. This highlights a contemporary acceptance of uncertainty. Stakes A person who suffers from malnutrition and their family members are both subject to long-term repercussions as a result of this condition. People who have compromised immune systems have a more difficult time fighting off viruses, which makes them more prone to major illnesses that may need them to require help in order to carry out their daily activities. In addition, malnutrition has an effect on muscles, which makes mobility difficult and requires continuous medical assistance. When it comes to children, malnutrition may hamper appropriate physical and mental development, necessitating more attention and care from families, which may even continue into adulthood (Home, 2019). Meaning of Illness

3 In healthcare settings, Asian cultural perspectives on disease entail controlled displays of emotion, sadness, or agony owing to familial and cultural beliefs. This makes it more difficult for healthcare workers to comprehend their patients. According to Carteret, people may create the idea that they have submitted themselves to their destiny when they accept their circumstances, regardless of how severe they may be. If a person does not adhere to their religious beliefs, certain Asian cultures believe that disease is caused by supernatural or spiritual reasons, and they also believe in the existence of curses or magic. The Asian- American patient and diabetes - ccah-alliance.org suggests that seeking medical treatment may be seen as an admission of approaching mortality because of the nature of the condition. Social Stressors Because they are smaller and more likely to be bullied, children who suffer from malnutrition are more likely to experience social stresses, which may result in mental health problems and poor academic performance. It is possible that these developmental problems may continue into adulthood, which will have an impact on the individual's economic and financial well-being (The changing face of malnutrition). Impacts It may be difficult to motivate patients to seek treatment or to keep appointments when dealing with malnutrition in a therapeutic context. This is because cultural notions of time may have an impact on how individuals perceive the passage of time. It is also possible that individuals who are suffering from serious ailments in addition to hunger may shift focus away from the core worry. It is possible that the belief in accepting destiny as it is may impede treatment-seeking behavior among the Asian people (The changing face of malnutrition). Conclusion

4 There are a variety of ideas about illness that exist in the globe, and these beliefs might differ depending on factors such as culture, religion, or personal convictions. Asian culture also demonstrates a variety of opinions. There is a widespread belief that one ought to accept life in its current state and face each day without an excessive amount of anxiety. Some people believe that going to the hospital is a sign that one is about to pass away. Providing assistance to persons who are suffering from malnutrition may create difficulties, especially when dealing with elderly people who are deeply rooted in long-held beliefs. Despite this, it is still essential to provide appropriate assistance in order to improve one's quality of life.
