KH: “During pregnancy, women limited their activities and paid attention to their diet and behavior to protect their babies (Teachinghistory.org, n.d.). For instance, the Cherokees believed some foods could harm the fetus, so pregnant women avoided these foods to prevent unwanted physical traits (Teachinghistory.org, n.d.). The Parents would take part in rituals to prepare for a safe delivery. These rituals include washing their hands and feet and asking medicine men to perform special rites (Teachinghistory.org, n.d.). Women would never give birth lying down and typically, no one caught the baby, who fell onto leaves placed underneath (Teachinghistory.org, n.d.). After the birth, mothers would gently place the baby in the river as part of a ritual they repeated every day for two years (Teachinghistory.org, n.d.). They believed this practice helped children grow strong, resulting in very few cases of rickets or deformities (Teachinghistory.org, n.d.). These cultural beliefs may influence the client’s willingness to accept medical treatment. However, Native Americans often use traditional healing along with modern medicine to improve health (Koithan & Farrell, 2010). They incorporate ceremonies and herbal remedies alongside regular medications (Koithan & Farrell, 2010). Spiritual treatments are a crucial part of their health and healing practices (Koithan & Farrell, 2010). Some conflicts may occur between traditional practices and prescribed care, especially when their traditional practices aren’t incorporated with prescribed care. Many Native Americans prefer the combination between traditional and modern medicine (Reese et al., 2024). In the early 20th century, the United States implemented policies aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality, which required Native American women to deliver their babies in distant healthcare facilities (Reese et al., 2024). This led many women to face dangerous situations while traveling and discouraged them from using midwives and traditional practices (Reese et al., 2024). However, some women continued to resist and practice their traditions (Reese et al., 2024).
Traditionally, Native American parents guided their children through storytelling to help them discover their identity and purpose (McKinley et al., 2021). In their culture, caregivers are seen as "keepers" of unique individuals, each supported by the community (McKinley et al., 2021). Despite efforts to undermine their parent-child relationships, Native American families have demonstrated resilience by preserving traditional parenting practices and beliefs (McKinley et al., 2021). Cultural beliefs can significantly influence how a client interacts with the medical team and their acceptance of medical treatment for themselves or their family members. Conflicts can arise in healthcare settings when providers lack familiarity with, or hold biases against, Native American traditional practices. However, if a combination of traditional and modern medicine is utilized, I believe that conflicts are less likely to arise. Involving traditional practices in the healthcare plan can help the family feel more comfortable accepting treatment and trusting the healthcare team with their care.
In the burn unit, my interactions with Native American patients and their families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting will always be guided by empathy and understanding. I prioritize respect and compassion, which are essential in building trust with the patients and their families. This approach allows for a supportive environment and an understanding of their diverse culture. Showing empathy also allows me to provide patient-centered care that addresses not only their medical needs but also their cultural needs. I would also coordinate my care with interdisciplinary healthcare teams and traditional healers to ensure holistic and culturally competent care. When caring for pediatric patients, I would ensure that parents are actively involved in their child’s care, while also incorporating their cultural beliefs into the plan of care.”
