ABSTRACT Behavioral health therapists working collaboratively with physicians in foreign countries may encounter culture and gender norms that vary from their country of origin. A team of students and faculty from the United States who delivered therapy and training in a Jordanian health clinic experienced differences in how female patients access and engage in health care and how the provider’s gender can affect treatment. Dissonance experienced by behavioral health therapists between their beliefs and some aspects of an unfamiliar work culture may be mediated by developing cultural competence, discussing their experiences with other providers, and increasing their awareness of efforts by global organizations that are leading change.

在全球医疗环境中体验性别和文化差异：美国学生在约旦提供治疗

摘要 与外国医生合作的行为健康治疗师可能会遇到与其原籍国不同的文化和性别规范。在约旦卫生诊所提供治疗和培训的美国学生和教师团队在女性患者获得和参与卫生保健的方式以及提供者的性别如何影响治疗方面存在差异。行为健康治疗师在他们的信念与陌生工作文化的某些方面之间所经历的不和谐可能是通过培养文化能力、与其他提供者讨论他们的经验以及提高他们对引领变革的全球组织所做努力的认识来调节的。
