In our religiously pluralistic society, clergy, medical, and
nursing staffs in modern hospitals are confronted with caring for
people with varied beliefs and customs. Since the overall care of a
patient, and not just the surgeries performed or medicines given,
affect an individual's recovery, it is vitally important to be
familiar with cultural and religious understandings and
expectations around hygiene, pastoral care, autopsies,
transfusions, and even the practices associated with death itself.
AHospital Handbook for Multiculturalism and Religion is a succinct
guide to the care of patients from a variety of faiths. The
original version included Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism,
Sikhism, Buddhism, and Baha'i. In the revised edition Neville
Kirkwood has added chapters on Taoism, Confucianism,
Neo-Confucianism, Chinese Buddhism, and Jainism. Each chapter
examines not only the customs of adherents to various faith
perspectives but also the significance of certain rites and
attitudes, supplying health-care workers and chaplains with the
information they need to provide the best care possible."
