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. \u003ci\u003eCaring for Patients from Different Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e Now in its fifth edition, \u003ci\u003eCaring for Patients from Different Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eCaring for Patients from Different Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e provides healthcare workers with a frame of reference for understanding cultural differences and sound alternatives for providing the best possible care to multicultural communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685480100120,"sku":"9780812223118","price":25.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/caring-for-patients-from-different-cultures-case-studies-from-american-hospitals-paperback-softback-9780812223118","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
