Stereotypes may be harmful to patients’ health. An American national study has found people who encountered the threat of being judged by negative stereotypes related to weight, age, race, gender, or social class in health care settings were more likely to have hypertension, be depressed, and to rate their own health more poorly. They were also more distrustful of their doctors, felt dissatisfied with their care, and were less likely to use preventive care (Wheaton, 2015). Generalizing can have a negative effect on one’s health. For example, in this article a patient’s complaint was not taken seriously because she was prejudged. It is important to listen to an individual’s complaint and not make assumptions or judgements based on a stereotype. It is also important to consider one’s culture when caring for a patient. Why do you think this is?
