FRICAN AMERICAN CASE STUDY #2
Mr. and Mrs. Evans are an African American couple who retired from the school
system last year. Both are 65 years of age a
nd reside on 20 acres of
land in a large rural
community approximately 5 miles from a Superfund site and 20 miles from two
chemical plants. Their household consists of
their two daughters, Anna, aged 40 years,
and Dorothy, aged 42 years; their grandc
hildren, aged 25, 20, 19, and 18; and their 2-
year-old great-grandson. Anna and Doro
thy and their children all attended the
university.
Mr. Evans\u2019s mother and three of his
nieces and nephews live next door. Mr.
Evans\u2019s mother has brothers, sisters, ot
her sons and daughters, grandchildren, and
great-grandchildren who live ac
ross the road on 10 acres of land. Other immediate and
extended family live on the 80 acres adjacent
to Mr. Evans\u2019s mother. All members of
the Evans family own the land on which they live.
Mrs. Evans has siblings and extended fa
mily living on 70 acres of land adjacent
to Mr. Evans\u2019s family, who live across the road. Mr. and Mrs. Evans also have family
living in Chicago, Detroit, New York, Sa
n Francisco, and Houston. Once a year, the
families come together for a reunion. Every other month, local family members come
together for a social hour. The family believes in
strict discipline with
lots of love. It is
common to see adult members of the family
discipline the younger children, regardless
of who the parents are. <\/p>\n
Mr. Evans has hypertension and diabetes
. Mrs. Evans has hypertension. Both
are on medication. Their daughter Dorothy is
bipolar and is on me
dication. Within the
last 5 years, Mr. Evans has had several re
latives diagnosed with lung cancer and colon
cancer. One of his maternal uncles died last
year from lung cancer. Mrs. Evans has
indicated on her driver\u2019s licen
se that she is an organ donor.
Sources of income for Mr. and Mrs. Ev
ans are their pensions from the school
system and Social Security. Dorothy receives SSI because she is unable to work any
longer. Mr. Evans and his br
others must assume responsibility for their mother\u2019s
medical bills and medication. Although she ha
s Medicare parts A and B, many of her
expenses are not covered.
Mr. and Mrs. Evans, all members of th
eir household, and al
l other extended
family in the community attend a large Bap
tist church in the city. Several family
members, including Mr. and Mrs. Evans, sing
in the choir, are members of the usher
board, teach Bible classes,
and do community ministry.

AMISH CASE STUDY
Elmer and Mary Miller, both 35 years old, liv
e with their five children in the main
house on the family farmstead in one of th
e largest Amish settlements in Indiana.
Aaron and Annie Schlabach, aged 68 and 70, live in the attached grandparents\u2019
cottage. Mary is the youngest of their ei
ght children, and when she married, she and
Elmer moved into the grandparents\u2019 cottage
with the intention that Elmer would take
over the farm when Aaron wanted to retire.
Eight years ago, they traded living space.
Now, Aaron continues to help with
the farm work, despite increasing pain in hi
s hip, which the doctor advises should be
replaced. Most of Mary\u2019s and Elmer\u2019s sibli
ngs live in the area, though not in the same
church district or settlement. Two of Elmer\u2019s brothers and their families recently
moved to Tennessee, where farms are less expensive and where they are helping to
start a new church district.
Mary and Elmer\u2019s fifth child, Melvin,
was born 6 weeks prematurely and is 1
month old. Sarah, aged 13, Martin, aged
12, and Wayne, aged 8, attend the Amish
elementary school located 1 mile from thei
r home. Lucille, aged 4, is staying with
Mary\u2019s sister and her family for a w
eek because baby Melvin has been having
respiratory problems and their physician told
the family he will need to be hospitalized
if he does not get better within 2 days.
At the doctor\u2019s office, Mary suggested
to one nurse, who often talks with Mary
about \u201cAmish ways,\u201d that Menno Martin, an
Amish man who \u201cgives treatments,\u201d may
be able to help. He uses \u201cwarm hands\u201d to
treat people and is
especially good with <\/p>\n
babies because he can feel what is wrong. Th
e nurse noticed that Mary carefully placed
the baby on a pillow as she prepared to leave.
Elmer and Mary do not carry any hea
lth insurance and are concerned about
paying the doctor and hospital bills associat
ed with this complicated pregnancy. In
addition, they have an appointment for Wayne
to be seen at Rile
y Children\u2019s Hospital,
3 hours away at the University Medical Cent
er in Indianapolis, for a recurring cyst
located behind his left ear. Plans are being
made for a driver to take Mary, Elmer,
Wayne, Aaron, Annie, and two of Mary\u2019s sist
ers to Indianapolis
for the appointment.
Because it is on the way, they plan to stop in
Fort Wayne to see an Amish healer who
gives nutritional advice and does \u201ctreatment
s.\u201d Aaron, Annie, and Elmer have been
there before, and the other women are considering having treatments, too. Many
Amish and non-Amish go there and tell others
how much better they feel after the
treatments.
They know their medical expenses seem minor in comparison to the family
who last week lost their barn in a fire
and to the young couple whose 10-year-old child
had brain surgery after a fall from the hayl
oft. Elmer gave mone
y to help with the
expenses of the child and will go to the barn raising to help rebuild the barn. Mary\u2019s
sisters will help to cook for the barn raisi
ng, but Mary will not help this time because
of the need to care for her newborn.
The state health department is concer
ned about the low immunization rates in
the Amish communities. One community-health nurse, who works in the area where
Elmer and Mary live, has volunteered to talk
with Elmer, who is on the Amish school
board. The nurse wants to learn how the health
department can work more closely with <\/p>\n
the Amish and also learn more about what
the people know about immunizations. The
county health commissioner thinks this is a wast
e of time and that what they need to do
is let the Amish know that they are creating
a health hazard by ne
glecting or refusing
to have their children immunized.
Study Questions

on a pillow as she was leaving the doctor\u2019s
office?
4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you were the nurse to whom Mrs. Mill
er confided her interest in taking the baby
to the folk healer, what would you do to le
arn more about their simultaneous use of
folk and professiona
l health services?
5. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0List three items to discuss with the M
illers to prepare them fo
r their consultation at
the medical center.
6. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you were preparing the reference fo
r consultation, what would you mention about
the Millers that would help to promote cu
lturally congruent ca
re at the medical
center?
7. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Imagine yourself participa
ting in a meeting with state
and local health department
officials and several local physicians and nur
ses to develop a plan to increase the <\/p>\n

APPALACHIAN CASE STUDY #1
William Kapp, aged 55 years, and his wife, Gloria, aged 37, have recently moved from an
isolated rural area of northern Appalachia
to Denver, Colorado, because of Gloria\u2019s
failing health. Mrs. Kapp has had pulmonary t
uberculosis for several years. They decided
to move to New Mexico because they heard that the climate was better for Mrs. Kapp\u2019s
pulmonary condition. For an unknown reason, they stayed in Denver, where William
obtained employment making machine parts.
The Kapp\u2019s oldest daughter, Ruth, ag
ed 20, Ruth\u2019s husband, Roy, aged 24, and
their daughter, Rebecca, aged 17 months, moved with them so Ruth could help care for
her ailing mother. After 2 months, Roy return
ed to northern Appalachia because he was
unable to find work in Denver. Ruth is 3 months\u2019 pregnant.
Because Mrs. Kapp has been feeling \u201cmor
e poorly\u201d in the last few days, she has
come to the clinic and is accompanied by her husband, William, her daughter Ruth, and
her granddaughter, Rebecca. On admission, Glor
ia is expectorating greenish sputum,
which her husband estimates to be about a teac
upful each day. Gloria is 5 ft 5 in. tall and
weighs 92 pounds. Her temperature is 101.4\u00b0F,
her pulse is regular at 96 beats per
minute, and her respirations are 30 per minute
and labored. Her skin is dry and scaly with
poor turgor.
While the physician is examining Mrs. Kapp, the nurse is taking additional
historical and demographic da
ta from Mr. Kapp and Ruth. Th
e nurse finds that Ruth has
had no prenatal care and that her first chil
d, Rebecca, was delivered at home with the
Helpance of a neighbor. Rebecca is pale and
suffers from frequent bouts of diarrhea and <\/p>\n
colicky symptoms. Mr. Kapp declines to offer in
formation regarding his health status and
states that he takes care of himself.
This is the first time Mrs. Kapp has s
een a health-care provider since their
relocation. Mr. Kapp has been treating his wife
with a blood tonic he makes from soaking
nails in water; a poultice he ma
kes from turpentine and lard,
which he applies to her chest
each morning; and a cough medicine he makes from rock candy, whiskey, and honey,
which he has her take a tablespoon of four
times a day. He feels this has been more
beneficial than the prescription medicati
on given to them before they relocated.
The child, Rebecca, has been taking a
cup of ginseng tea for her colicky
symptoms each night and a cup of red ba
rk tea each morning for her diarrhea.
Ruth\u2019s only complaint is the \u201csick headach
e\u201d she gets three to four times a week.
She takes ginseng tea and Epsom salts for the headache.
Mrs. Kapp is discharged with prescr
iptions for isoniazid, rifampin, and an
antibiotic and with instructions to return in
1 week for follow-up based on the results of
blood tests, chest radiograph, and sputum cultures.
She is also told to return to the clinic
or emergency department if her symptoms
worsen before then. The nurse gives Ruth
directions for making appointments with the pr
enatal clinic for herself and the pediatric
well-child clinic for Rebecca.
