Family Health Assessment

One’s cultural background determines health pattern and some of the wellness problems can be inherited from one generation to another. Thus it is evident that wellness can be influenced genetically and that is the reason why health pattern differs from one family to another, and one’s race also affects it. Some factors influence one’s health pattern as they tend to change from one generation to another. In this piece, we are going to identify a functional pattern of three families; namely Jamaican family, East Indian family as well as African American family. The three families have unique wellness problems, and this is as a result of different cultural background. Sensor disabilities is also another health problem that the Jamaican family face.

This includes hearing loss and no feeling on the right side of the body from the air down. East Indian family has its unique wellness problems, and this comes as a result of cultural background and lifestyle that family leads. Indian family doesn’t suffer from many health conditions due to the lifestyle that tends to adapt. One of the wellness problems is a sexual problem whereby the members tend to have a sex drive. Mental illness is one of the health problems that the African Americans family tend to suffer from, and this is a serious problem as most of the family members are under medication. This is a condition that is the family lineage whereby the problem tends to spread from one generation to another.
