Despite his best efforts, the doctor\u2019s success when, \u201cencouraging the patient to make lifestyle changes\u2026 proved virtually impossible.\u201d He developed End Stage Renal Disease as a result, and then suddenly passed away, likely secondary to \u201ca heart attack due to complications from chronic diabetes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In light of the rise of chronic disease, specifically as demonstrated in a \u201cminority culture within a larger Western society,\u201d the training of culturally competent physicians is essential. In this case, fatalism plays a key role. The eldest son writes,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cDuring my father\u2019s disease, his socioeconomic situation was good\u2026. He could go to the experts\u2026. [But] he didn\u2019t consider diabetes a major threat. He was shocked when he was told he needed dialysis. He initially refused treatment for a few weeks before we convinced him with the help of his doctor\u2026. We were sorry that he died. But in our society, we believe in God and see this as the will of God. We can\u2019t do anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Addressing fatalism, a \u201cmain obstacle in educating and motivating patients,\u201d requires a culturally sensitive dialogue. The authors recommend focusing on quality of life rather than threat of death. Having patients \u201cconsider how changes in lifestyle will help in remaining strong and active until the prewritten day of death,\u201d may help in addressing this issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to the authors, \u201cthe link between trust and the adherence to treatment regimens is found within many communities.\u201d Training culturally competent physicians must focus on having knowledge, skills, and respect and being able to implement these effectively in cross cultural situations.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> \u201cCulturally appropriate intervention channels\u201d are key to reducing stigma and raising patient awareness of available resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cultural competence has been shown to improve many health behaviors, specifically related to nutrition, exercise and substance use habits.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a> Culturally competent physicians must be willing to partner with local leaders.
