- W2183664346 abstract "In the 21 st century, the mobility of world population has posed greater challenges to healthcare practitioners, since they are facing an increasingly diverse patient population from all over the world. At the same time, patients also find it difficult to access and utilize quality health care services in a culturally diverse context. This study examines the role of culture in Chinese international students‟ health-seeking behaviours in Canada. The study explores any barriers/perceived barriers that Chinese international students may confront when accessing health care which can prevent them from obtaining quality health care services in Canada. To this end, an intercultural health communication model was employed as a theoretical framework, and semi-structured interviews were used as a data collection tool. While contributing to existing literature on health communication and culture, this study also hopes to contribute to providing Canadian universities and institutions important information regarding Chinese international students‟ access to and utilization of health care services with the hope of enhancing the quality of ethnic health care and promoting better health outcomes. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the effort, good will, and support of a great many people. I owe my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Rukhsana Ahmed. Through my thesis-writing, she constantly provided encouragement, advice, teaching, and lots of good idea. Her patience and kindness, as well as her academic experience, have been invaluable to me. It is an honour for me to have Dr. Isaac Nahon-Serfaty, and Dr. Peruvemba Jaya S. as my committee members. I have learned and benefited greatly from their priceless comments, suggestions, and advice. I wish to thank my best friends Xinyu Wu and Darcy Boucher for helping me get through the difficult times, and for all the support, caring, and entertainment they provided. Especially Darcy, who spent a lot of time to proofread my thesis for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Last, and most importantly, I wish to thank my parents, Keyou Shen and Lingdi Liu, who have been a constant source of support. They bore me, raised me, taught me, and provided a loving environment for me. Without them, this thesis would certainly not have existed. To them I dedicate this thesis. Table of" @default.
