Addressing Implicit Bias in Mental Healthcare: A Novel Health Promotion Tool for the Treatment of Minority Mental Health Patients

Minority mental health patients face many health inequities and inequalities that may stem from implicit bias and a lack of cultural awareness from their healthcare providers. I analyzed the current literature evaluating implicit bias among healthcare providers and culturally specific life traumas that Latinos and African Americans face that can impact their mental health. Additionally, I researched a current mental health assessments tool, the Child and Adolescent Trauma Survey (CATS), and evaluated it for the use on Latino and African American patients. Face-to-face interviews with two healthcare providers were also used to analyze the CATS for its’ applicability to Latino and African American patients. Results showed that these assessments were not sufficient in capturing culturally specific life traumas of minority patients. Based on the literature review and analysis of the interviews with healthcare providers, a novel assessment tool, the Culturally Traumatic Events Questionnaire (CTEQ), was created to address the gaps that currently make up other mental health assessment tools used on minority patients.

Advancing medical and surgical care has cause for there to be a rapidly growing population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Now that pediatric patients with CHD are living into adulthood there is a problem with the lack of transitional care these patients receive. The lack of transitional care has led to many issues that adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients face such as a lack of autonomy and knowledge, which contributes to an increased chance for a lapse in their care. Lapses in care lead to greater risks of heart failure, arrhythmias, morbidity, and premature death. Research revealed that there is a gap in the transitional care process for patients with CHD from the pediatric to adult healthcare setting that needs to be addressed. Nurses can aid in this process by establishing habits of independence as well as teaching CHD patients about their condition and its care requirements at a younger age. This creative project aims to educate nurses working in the pediatric cardiovascular acute care setting on ways they can aid in the transition process of patients with CHD as they grow out of the pediatric care setting and into the adult care setting in order to establish continuity of care.
