Abstract		Health care providers must meet the needs of a growing number of patients from different ethnic groups, of which we may know very little. Culturally appropriate communication requires an awareness of the realities of various communities. This article discusses the main barriers to optimal communication with patients from these communities. Different health related beliefs are often the cause of misunderstandings. Good communication has a significant influence on building a doctor-patient partnership. This patient-centred approach can help relieve the patient's symptoms, reduce pain and promote a positive outcome of the disease. This article gives a few suggestions on how to ensure good communication.
Summary		Zdravstveni delavci čedalje pogosteje prihajamo v stik z bolniki, pripadniki različnih etničnih skupin, o katerih zelo malo vemo. Za učinkovito sporazumevanje med bolnikom in zdravnikom pa je treba upoštevati tudi kulturni okvir, iz katerega bolnik izhaja. Članek navaja glavne ovire, ki nastanejo pri sporazumevanju z bolniki, pripadniki različnih etničnih skupin. Zaradi različnih pogledov na bolezen in zdravljenje so namreč nesporazumi in nerazumevanje pogostejši. Z uspešnim sporazumevanjem zdravnik in bolnik gradita pristnejši medsebojni odnos, ki vpliva na umiritev simptomov, obvladovanje bolečine ter izid bolezni. V članku je predstavljenih nekaj predlogov za učinkovito sporazumevanje.
