Abstract

In cardiology, patients' cultural beliefs, linguistic differences, lack of knowledge, and socioeconomic status can create barriers to choosing device treatment. To address this issue, we conducted a thorough literature review using online databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's research portal. Our review found that cultural, religious, and linguistic barriers can contribute to patients' apprehension and reservations about device placement. These barriers can also impact patients' adherence to treatment and clinical outcomes. Patients from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may have difficulty accessing and affording device-based treatments. Additionally, fear and inadequate understanding of surgical procedures can deter patients from accepting device treatment in cardiology. To overcome these cultural barriers, healthcare providers must raise awareness about the benefits of device treatment and provide better training to overcome these challenges. It is crucial to address the unique needs of patients from different cultural backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses to ensure they receive the care they need.
