This course aims to improve clinician interaction with patients and families by addressing differences due to generational assumptions and differing perceptions of events. We will also discuss qualitative methods for learning more about the patient’s worldview, and culturally competent methods for patient education. Generational issues are discussed to understand the values of different generations involved in patient-centered care. Perception is discussed as it relates to one’s social role, cultural background, personal needs, age, and prior life experiences. Qualitative methods are explained to examine the multiple constructed realities of each patient in order to better understand the worldview of the patient and the family. Multiple culturally competent educational tools are summarized for clinicians. The applicable audience is pediatric PT and OT clinicians working in hospitals, clinics, schools, or home-based settings with children and their family/caregivers.
