Stress and Healthcare Equity
The Access to Care
Stress can affect healthcare disparities and access to medical services by influencing health outcomes, shaping healthcare utilization, and impacting patient advocacy. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related barriers in accessing equitable healthcare.
To promote healthcare equity, practice stress management techniques such as health advocacy, patient empowerment, and addressing social determinants of health. Addressing stress supports equitable healthcare access and improves health outcomes for underserved populations.
