Description
Transcultural Nursing: Assessment and Intervention is more important now than ever. Because minorities tend to receive a lower quality of health care even when their access to services is similar to that of nonminorities and because the diversity, ethnic, racial, age, lifestyle, economic, sexual preferences, immigration status of the U.S. population is growing, cross-cultural education in the health professions is seen as a key strategy in ending such disparities.

The text presents the six cultural phenomena believed to shape care—communication, space, social organization, time, environmental control, and biological variations. Many chapters specify how a particular racial/ethnic group (e.g., African Americans or Appalachians) may vary in these areas and how these variations must be taken into account in planning care.
