Are Microaggressions A Form Of Healthcare Bias? - Black Health Journey
Are Microaggressions A Form Of Healthcare Bias? Are microaggressions a hidden barrier in healthcare that affects Black communities? In this video, we explore how subtle behaviors and words can impact the quality of medical care received by Black patients. We’ll explain what microaggressions are and how they manifest in healthcare settings, often without intentional harm. You’ll learn about different types of microaggressions, including microinvalidations, microinsults, and microassaults, and how these behaviors can erode trust between patients and providers. We’ll discuss the role of implicit bias—unconscious stereotypes that influence interactions—and how addressing these biases is essential for delivering respectful, culturally aware care. The video highlights the importance of culturally competent healthcare practices, such as understanding cultural food preferences and respecting mental health needs, to improve patient engagement and health outcomes. We’ll also cover the impact of microaggressions on chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, and how repeated exposure can increase stress and worsen health disparities. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, patient, or community advocate, understanding microaggressions can help promote better communication and trust. Join us to learn how respectful, culturally sensitive care can help bridge the gap and promote healthier communities.
