Synopsis "The root of the matter: Black African Culture and Childbirth"
There is limited information on African cultural traditions and its influence on pregnancy in the United Kingdom. It is acknowledged that cultural knowledge is crucial in healthcare provision. In recent times it has become more relevant due to the diverse ethnic population that has migrated into the United Kingdom over the last few decades; however Africa is a vast continent with many different languages, traditions and cultures. To engage with black African women effectively, particularly newly arrived immigrants, some knowledge of their culture is required. It would be beneficial to differentiate between particular countries and realise the relevance of certain cultural norms. General African knowledge is important; it encompasses popular cultural norms such as dress and diet. However, culture specific knowledge of Africa addresses certain taboos and restrictions that are adhered too and which may affect individuals' health choices. This resource contains culture- specific and culture -generic knowledge on black African culture. It is hoped that this knowledge will facilitate health care professionals in meeting the healthcare needs of black African women in a holistic manner.
