Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

Self-Esteem and Culture01:26

Self-Esteem and Culture

317
Self-esteem, a core psychological construct, is intricately shaped by cultural context and varies significantly between collectivist and individualistic societies. In collectivist cultures such as Japan, self-esteem tends to be flexible, context-sensitive, and influenced by relationships. A Japanese student, for instance, may show restraint in formal settings like school but behave more openly among close friends, reflecting the flexible and dynamic nature of self-concept in such...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Indigenous Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Motivational interviewing (MI) effectiveness for early childhood caries (ECC) in indigenous populations is unclear.
  • The Great Beginnings for Healthy Native Smiles (GBHNS) intervention integrated adapted MI techniques for home-based oral health (OH) promotion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the experiences of Community Health Representatives (CHRs) using MI within an indigenous community intervention.
  • To identify lessons learned and recommendations for adapting MI in similar public health initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Post-intervention semi-structured interviews with MI staff.
  • Participant observation and qualitative coding (inductive and deductive analysis).

Main Results:

  • MI, a Western psychological approach, may conflict with indigenous communicative practices and values.
  • Adaptation is necessary to align MI with local cultural contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Pre-intervention community assessments are crucial for ensuring intervention acceptability, relevance, and appropriateness.
  • Attention to local communicative practices is essential for successful MI implementation in indigenous settings.
