David J. Pate. Am I My Brother’s Keeper: An Exploratory Examination of Adult Low-Income Access to Healthcare in Milwaukee.
The learned information: The study of David J. Pate concerns the non-custodial Afro-American fathers with children on TANF. His investigations are dedicated to single Black males in Wisconsin. This state was chosen deliberately, as it has proportionally more Black people in prison than any other state. In most cases, men under research are unemployed. Poverty made them got involved in drug trafficking. These people do not have access to health benefits and welfare benefits. The main issue of this research is the fate of those single fathers, as they cannot allow themselves any benefits and are deprived of governmental help. The healthcare organizations should provide certain services for single Afro-American males free of charge. Those people should obtain the governmental insurances. The main barriers in providing culturally competent healthcare are the discrimination and race issues.
Carmen Valdez. Promoting Well-being in Latino Children Affected by Parental Depression.
The learned information: researcher Valdez discusses the influence of parent’s depression on the mental health of a child. The thing is that when a parent experiences depression, the child also feels confusion and anxiety. Parental depression results in: decreased warmth, decreased communication, increased conflict. Treatment of parental depression is extremely significant, as it has serious effect on children. The healthcare organizations should promote KFS intervention. This means: promote resilience, encourage conversations about parental depression, family strength, and decrease parent’s depressive symptoms. The main barriers in providing culturally competent healthcare are the low level of satisfaction with treatment and absence of wish to receive the treatment.
Earlise Ward. African American Women’s Mental Health.
The learned information: The discussion concerns the mental health of Afro-American women. At first, it should be emphasized that 15 million of African Americans are affected by mental illness. Women are more likely to suffer mental disorders due to such social issues as racism, sexism, and discrimination. Most of the Afro-American women do not use mental health services. Researcher was trying to investigate: what Afro American women think about their mental illnesses and how they cope with it. The healthcare organizations should recognize the mental illness among Afro-American women and help those women to cope with them. The main barriers in providing culturally competent healthcare are stigma and lack of access.
