Healthcare providers in the American medical system may find
that patients from different cultures bring unfamiliar
expectations, anxieties, and needs into the examination room. To
provide optimal care for all patients, it is important to see
differences from the patient's perspective and to work with
patients from a range of demographics. "Caring for Patients from
Different Cultures" has been a vital resource for nurses and
physicians for more than twenty years, offering hundreds of case
studies that illustrate crosscultural conflicts or
misunderstandings as well as examples of culturally competent
health care.Now in its fifth edition, "Caring for Patients from
Different Cultures" covers a wide range of topics, including birth,
end of life, communication, traditional medicine, mental health,
pain, religion, and multicultural staff challenges. This edition
includes more than sixty new cases with an expanded appendix,
introduces a new chapter on improving adherence, and updates the
concluding chapter with examples of changes various hospitals have
made to accommodate cultural differences. Grounded in concepts from
the fields of cultural diversity and medical anthropology, Caring
for Patients from Different Cultures provides healthcare workers
with a frame of reference for understanding cultural differences
and sound alternatives for providing the best possible care to
multicultural communities.
