Set against a backdrop of cultural diversity, the current emphasis
on advance care planning, both in the United States and abroad,
necessitates a sourcebook on how to navigate such complex terrain.
This book will serve as a guide to best practice for advance care
planning in a multicultural society. Such a guide will help those
trying to engage in the often delicate discussions that take place
during advance care planning to do so in a culturally sensitive
manner. In addition, the book will provide general guidance in
discussing difficult issues in a multicultural clinical setting.
Given how entrenched advance care planning is in the medical
context, to not attempt to engage in the process in a culturally
sensitive way smacks of a dangerous indifference and sets the stage
for conflict where calm could exist. In the fast-paced world of
clinical medicine, recognizing and acknowledging differences in
worldviews is often overlooked. When dealing with the delicate
issues broached in advance care planning, such oversights can lead
to deep rifts within the health care provider-patient relationship.
This damage can be irreparable. By providing guidance to those
engaged in such endeavors and setting advance care planning in a
global context, health care practitioners will be better able to
care for their patients and achieve the noble goal of advance care
planning_giving volume to the voice of the patient in the last
chapter of her life.
