Health and illness beliefs can influence the assessment process by how patients respond to health practitioners’ health information. For instance, In Vietnamese culture, mental and physical illness is associated with mystical beliefs that health is a result of a harmonious balance between hot and cold poles that govern bodily functions. In such cases, they mostly don’t accept mental health interventions, and counseling from doctors, unless trust has been gained (Li, Jeffs, Barwick, & Stevens, 2018). Cultural beliefs are a pattern of ideas, and customs shared by a particular group of individuals in the society which plays an important role in patient compliance. The speed of cultural evolution differs depending on interactions with other cultures. However, cultural biasness may lead to different health perceptions and preferences.
