A professor of nursing, expert in multicultural health care and
social services, describes the basic attitudes and beliefs of 15
important ethnic and religious groups in America and shows how
these traits can affect behavior during illness or during social
work interventions. Sensitive to problems of stereotyping, each
chapter on an immigrant group provides some information about its
homeland and population in the United States and then discusses the
culture's modes of communication, its socioeconomic status, chief
complaints, traditional family system, religious beliefs, views
toward the elderly, child-rearing practices, culturally based
health beliefs and practices, dietary patterns, characteristics
relating to morbidity and mortality, beliefs about death and dying,
physical assessment, and sources for further reading. The
introduction points to a few key sources for continuing information
about the care of multicultural patients and clients.
