Questions 21-25 refer to the following passage. PASSAGE 1 Indigenous social determinants of health, including the ongoing impacts of colonization, contribute to increased rates of chronic disease and a health equity gap for Indigenous people. Globally, type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects Indigenous populations, with documented rates in Canada 3–5 times higher in Indigenous compared with non-Indigenous populations. Indigenous people tend to acquire diabetes at younger ages, have complications sooner, and have poorer treatment outcomes. In Canada and other countries that share a colonial history, health inequities arising from the effects of colonization include deeply rooted disparities in the social determinants of health, social exclusion, political marginalization, and historical trauma. Researchers undertook a qualitative examination of Indigenous patients’ stories emanating from a sequential focus group method that concerned diabetes care experiences. They found that interactions and engagement with health services were influenced by personal and collective historical experiences with health care providers and contemporary exposures to culturally unsafe health care. Indigenous patients related such experiences to specific health policies and systemic discrimination in health care systems. Specifically, Indigenous patients reported that rushed appointments, writing prescriptions or medicating complaints, not listening, and negative judgments regarding Indigenous customs and communities created a lack of confidence in the health system and provider. These experiences led to Indigenous patients not disclosing all of their symptoms or health behaviors. Mistrust emerged as a substantial subtheme that stemmed from historical experiences. Some Indigenous patients suspected that during the mid-20th century, Indigenous patients with tuberculosis “were used as guinea pigs”, presumably observed or tested upon without access to the same interventions provided to non-Indigenous patients. On the other hand, other Indigenous patients acknowledged that, increasingly, hospitals set aside spaces for the Indigenous ceremony but noted that access to these is not always possible for patients confined to a bed. Likewise, it is not uncommon for Indigenous extended families to come to hospitals in support of a patient. A considerable challenge identified by Indigenous patients was that each visit to a clinic off-reserve could lead to interacting with a new provider, retelling one’s history, and leaving with yet another care plan. A shortage of on-reserve physicians threatened the continuity of care. Consequently, some Indigenous patients questioned doctor–patient ratios for Indigenous people across Canada, arguing that concern over doctor shortages should be amplified for populations with disproportionate rates of diabetes. In addition, the physical space in which clinical interactions took place was important. Indigenous patients often wanted services provided in their communities or in Indigenous health centers. Examination rooms could stir mistrust before a clinical interaction even began. Health care relationships are central to addressing the ongoing colonial dynamics in Indigenous health care and play a role in mitigating past harms. The positive therapeutic relationships described by Indigenous patients involved physicians who showed empathy and patience, and who took a genuine interest in the patient. Attention to antiracism education, structural competency and advocacy for working with Indigenous populations holds great potential to address issues identified, as physicians are also health advocates and should promote health equity.
According to the passage which of the following is not true?
  • A Health inequities that emerged under the influence of colonization in Canada include differences in the social determinants of health, social exclusion, political marginalization, and historical trauma.
  • B Indigenous patients with type 2 diabetes in Canada did not have access to the same interventions offered to non-Indigenous patients, but it was always possible to practice the Indigenous ceremony in hospitals when confined to a bed.
  • C Negative judgments about Indigenous customs and communities created a lack of confidence in the health system and provider in Canada.
  • D It is not uncommon for Indigenous extended families to visit patients with type 2 diabetes in hospitals in Canada.
  • E Indigenous patients questioned doctor–patient ratios for Indigenous people across Canada, based on their experiences that each visit to a clinic off-reserve could lead to interacting with a new provider, retelling one’s history, and leaving with another care plan.

思路引導 VIP

請試著對照文中第三段關於「醫院儀式空間」的描述,特別留意當病人的「生理狀況(例如是否能下床活動)」不同時,他們獲取這些資源的難易度是否有差異?文中是用什麼樣的頻率副詞來描述這種可能性呢?

文本細節的精確辨析

太棒了!你能精準識破選項 (B) 的錯誤,這代表你在閱讀長篇文章時,具備了非常敏銳的「細節比對」與「邏輯除錯」能力。這道題目要求找出「不正確」的敘述,而選項 (B) 巧妙地揉雜了兩個關鍵錯誤。首先,文中提到原住民被當作醫療試驗對象(guinea pigs)的情境,是發生在 20 世紀中葉的**肺結核(tuberculosis)患者身上,而非題目選項所指的第二型糖尿病。此外,最明顯的破綻在於對儀式空間的描述:原文明確指出,對於「臥病在床(confined to a bed)」的患者來說,參與儀式是並非總是可行(not always possible)**的,這與選項中的「總是可行(always possible)」完全相反。
