Caring For Patients From Different Cultures Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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.

This book is great! It provides a lot of detail and examples. It has more information than I need as a CNA and Allied Health instructor. But, I was able to pull some sample scenarios to use in class!
Dr. Galanti's recent update of her now-classic text in medical anthropology provides a wealth of examples of cultural misunderstandings that influence the quality of patient care, as well as clear instructions that allow readers to anticipate, and avoid repeating these mistakes. The true stories with which Galanti illustrates her points range from the comical to the tragic. I found the book not only well-written and comprehensive, but also hard to put down. It will be an especially valuable resource for those who are newly embarking on the care of patients.
This was required for a college course but it was actually an interesting read. I really enjoyed the case studies. This is a book I would have read on my own time.
Outstanding book! I use this book as a summer reading for my seniors who are in my nursing program.
Came new no writings or anything no stains either. And smells just like a fresh book.
Well written. Gives very useful scenarios as examples.
Great book condition. Excellent customer service
