year = {2023},
note = {Healthcare systems are obliged to serve patients in a
diversity-sensitive way. The recent decade confronted public
healthcare in Poland not only with ongoing processes of modernization,
marketization, reorganization, not to mention the Covid-19 pandemic.
The health system in Poland is dealing with an intensely diversifying
society. It is confronted with emerging or hitherto marginalized,
discriminated against or underrepresented health interests and needs
of women, people with disabilities, LGBTAQI, a growing number of older
people, people with different levels of education, low income, poor
health insurance; and, finally, the presence of people from diverse
national, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. To gain insight into how
clinicians have recently dealt with patient from diverse backgrounds,
a survey-based pilot study was conducted with invited key informants
(N = 26) representing a variety of medical specialties, settings and
universities. The results obtained confirm hypothesis of medium-high
to low levels of diversity-sensitive clinical competence and,
additionally, reveal a variety of facts, positions and challenges
related to this deficiency.},
