    ME: Being there for many yrs. Sir. Have you observe a traditional health practices as you care

    HIM: when I get sick, I just usually take my medicine. Well, being here for many years already
    I did not observe any traditional health practices. We immediately go to hospital and consult for
    doctor.

    HIM: About their culture, Majority of British are addicted to eat processed food, fast food
    restaurant and order from home. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday Nights. People are out for
    drinks and finish late night. In the weekends, typical English goes out to treat themselves either
    in the restaurants, entertainment or fashion designer. Here in UK it is Multi cultural😂👍🏼.

    ME: Do have any traditional health beliefs you practice when you get sick Sir?

    HIM: Maybe if I am in the Philippines right now I still do the “atang” if I get sick and can’t
    recover after having a hospital session already. But here in London, we go to doctor when we
    got sick.

    ME: Oh okay Sir. How do you promote/maintain cultural care needs of


    yourself/family/community?

    HIM: For myself and my family health is one of my priorities, “kung maari ayokong may
    magkasakit sa amin”. That is why I always remind my family and even my friends to
    stay/become healthy. For being here in UK how do I promote and maintain may care needs,
    well by staying healthy, do the things that’s make me healthy. Being aware on my problems,
    being aware on medicines, on health care systems. Well when you feel you are sick, I just want
    to say that you should seek for doctor and believe in the power of medicine. And also just pray
    and always ask God for his guidance.

    ME: very well said Sir! Thank you sir. That’s all my question sir.

    HIM: oh is that all, are we finish already?

    ME: Yes Sir! Thank you so much for your time. Stay safe, God bless.

    HIM: Thank you also for having me. Goodluck on your nursing journey. Bye

    ME: Stay Safe, sir! Again Thank you!


    REFLECTION ON THE ENGAGEMENT:

    I was impressed by Mr. Neil's self-care practices. Regardless of his work and business
    commitments. He continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle. He understands how to manage his
    health. He understands how to care for his body. He's a busy person who slept late at night but
    still got 8 hours of sleep. He still makes certain that he is mentally stable and that he has a
    good mindset. As well as understand how to keep himself healthy. Mr. Neil is a Filipino who
    grew up in Ilocos Sur. He may not practice traditional health practices in London, but he is
    aware of some ilocano beliefs, such as the "atang." . An atang is a traditional food offering used
    to ward off evil spirits in the Philippines. Sinukat, a rice cake, is the most commonly used atang
    to ward off sickness. Mr. Neil informed me that the United Kingdom is a multi-cultural country.
    Because Mr. Neil did not receive traditional health care there. I have also zero idea about their
    cultural health beliefs and I was rushed to research about the health care system of the British
    people. According to Commonwealth Fund report in 2017, ranking developed-country
    healthcare systems, the United Kingdom was ranked first overall and first in the following
    categories: Care Process (i.e. effective, safe, coordinated, patient-oriented) and Equity. This
    simply means that they are the best at providing care to their patients. Perhaps they don't have
    traditional beliefs about medical care because their country is known for having the best
    healthcare system, with their national health service providing the majority of healthcare in the
    UK, from general practitioners to Accident and Emergency Departments, long-term care, and
    dentistry with advanced technology.

    Mr. Neil has a good way of taking care of himself. He also stated that positive thinking is one of
    his methods for becoming healthy, which is very important today because managing our mental
    health is difficult during this pandemic. It's difficult for us to adjust to the new normal,
    especially when we have work or business to attend to.

    Here in the Philippines, we cannot deny the fact that there’s still a lot of people who consult to
    traditional healers unlike other countries. I'm disappointed that people still believe these
    ridiculous circus acts! But, in response to why, I believe it is due to desperation, and these fake
    healers take advantage of people who are in pain and take their money. IF FAITH HEALERS
    ARE TRUE, WHY ARE THEY NOT VISITING HOSPITALS AND HEALING PEOPLE? As a future
    registered nurse and a future educator, I think it is time for me to enlighten the minds of
    people for what is best and right for their health in order for them to have a better quality of
    life.
