Culture Essay
NM2710-The experience of Health & Illness
Assessment: Client case Study- Culture and the “Service User” Experience
Introduction
In this essay, I will be discussing a client that I cared for while I was on my placement practice. I had to fill in my inter-professional education book where i had to interview a client about his experience in the health care setting and how he is coping with his health and illness and the health care he is receiving whilst he is in the care of the National Health Service.
I will be discussing his cultural needs and how it makes impacts on health and the impact it has on the client/ families psychological and social.
This essay will show a non-judgemental description of the patient’s personality, family, cultural or social background.
In this case study I have changed his name and will be referring to the patient as Mr Asim Khan to maintain confidentiality and identity. I will not give the name of the hospital/PCT. This is a breach of confidentiality policy and by the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC 2008).
I choose Asim Khan as my chosen patient because I found him polite, and his social history very interesting, he was easy to talk to, and he was open about his medical condition and willing to discuss any questions I had regarding his condition. I also found out about his medical history and social background. I really appreciated that despite his ill condition and the pain he was going through, he still took time out to talk to me.
Asim is a 27 year-old Pakistani Muslim man. He was born in Iran and moved to Pakistan 15 years ago with his family as the family are originally from Pakistan. His main mother tongue is Urdu but does speak English, he sometimes can get confused whilst speaking to him but when you talk slowly and clear he will understand you.
Asim is a single man and has 2 sisters that live in Pakistan with their parents.
He arrived in the UK 4 years ago on a Student Visa. He is currently working in a market
