Talking to patients and their families about end-of-life issues
can be difficult and stressful. This book looks at ways different
cultures view death and then further explores how health care
providers around the world communicate about such sensitive issues
as withholding or withdrawing life support and discussing options
when the outcome is uncertain. By offering a better understanding
of cultural differences in attitudes about death and methods of
communications about end-of-life issues, the coverage in this
important book helps prepare healthcare practitioners to be better
communicators both within and outside of their own cultures.
