Book Synopsis Caring for Patients from Different Cultures by : Geri-Ann Galanti
Download or read book Caring for Patients from Different Cultures written by Geri-Ann Galanti and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-05-25 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a Cherokee patient summons a medicine man to the hospital, or when an Anglo nurse refuses to take orders from a Japanese doctor? Why do Asian patients rarely ask for pain medication, while Mediterranean patients seem to seek relief for even the slightest discomfort? If the goal of the American medical system is to provide optimal care for all patients, healthcare providers must understand cultural differences that create conflicts and misunderstandings and can result in inferior medical care. Geri-Ann Galanti's updated classic, Caring for Patients from Different Cultures, is even more comprehensive than the first three editions, containing new appendices for quick reference, an expanded and updated bibliography with Internet resources, and a detailed index. Caring for Patients from Different Cultures contains more than 200 case studies illustrating crosscultural misunderstanding and culturally competent health care. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including birth, end of life, traditional medicine, mental health, pain, religion, and multicultural staff issues. The case studies illustrate important concepts from the fields of cultural diversity and medical anthropology. This volume is an important resource for nurses and physicians in achieving cultural competency.

Book Synopsis Medical Decision-making Among Chinese-born and Euro-American Elderly by : Madeleine Crain
Download or read book Medical Decision-making Among Chinese-born and Euro-American Elderly written by Madeleine Crain and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1997 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection will present works that offer illuminating perspectives on the remarkably diverse Asian American populations of the United States. As a population that is neither black nor white, the range of experiences of these groups, many of whom arrived as refugees, presents other perspectives on the cultural mosaic that constitutes the United States. Studies of Asian Americans sheds light on issues related to immigration, refugee policy, transnationalism, return migration, cultural citizenship, ethnic communities, community building, identity and group formation, panethnicity, race relations, gender and class, entrepreneurship, employment, representation, politics, adaptation, and acculturation. The writings in this collection are drawn from a wide variety of disciplines to provide a broad and informative array of insights on these fascinating and diverse populations.Examines presumed behaviorsThe primary purpose of this study was to ascertain whether Chinese-born frail elderly homebound persons wish to take part in advance medical decision-making in a similar manner to non-Asian frail elderly. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Chinese immigrants tend to be fearful of death and avoid discussions on the subject; that they are culturally inclined to be unassertive and do not wish to speak out about their own care; and that they are reticent when asked about personal information because their culture is family-oriented and stresses conformity rather than self-expression. While these attitudes and behaviors are reported by clinicians, there has been no systematic investigative documentation.Carefully interviewed participantsThe study participants included 60 each ofChinese-born and Euro-American frail homebound elderly men and women; Chinese speakers were interviewed in their native language. Participants' responses to inventories exploring life events, control beliefs, values, and attitudes toward death were analyzed to determine whether Chinese-born elderly have attitudes and beliefs that require different treatment approaches.Upset common stereotypeWhile the study show significant differences in attitudes, it also indicates many similarities between the two groups. One of the most significant findings, which has the greatest implication for further investigation, was that contrary to the stereotypes, Chinese-born elderly do freely discuss all aspects of their lives, including views on death and dying, and express wishes to be concerned in their own health-care decisions.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethical theories employed in health care today assume, in the main, a modern Western philosophical framework. Yet the diversity of cultural and religious assumptions regarding human nature, health and illness, life and death, and the status of the individual suggest that a cross-cultural study of health care ethics is needed. A Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Health Care Ethics provides this study. It shows that ethical questions can be resolved by examining the ethical principles present in each culture, critically assessing each value, and identifying common values found within all traditions, It encourages the development of global awareness and sensitivity to and respect for the diversity of peoples and their values and will advance understanding as well as help to foster a greater balance and a fuller truth in consideration of the human condition and what makes for health and wholeness.

Book Synopsis Hmong American Concepts of Health, Healing, and Conventional Medicine by : Dia Cha
Download or read book Hmong American Concepts of Health, Healing, and Conventional Medicine written by Dia Cha and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's healthcare system in the twenty-first century faces a variety of pressures and challenges, not the least of which is that posed by the increasingly multicultural nature of American society itself. Large numbers among the Hmong, immigrants from the landlocked Asian nation of Laos, continue to prefer their own ancient medical traditions. That these Hmong Americans should continue to adhere to a tradition of folk medicine, rather than embrace the modern healthcare system of America, poses questions that must be answered. This book takes up the task of examining Hmong American concepts of health, illness and healing, and looks at the Hmong American experience with conventional medicine. In so doing, it identifies factors that either obstruct or enable healthcare delivery to the Hmong, specifically a target sample of Hmong Americans resident in Colorado. Drawing upon scientific methods of data collection, the research reveals attitudes currently held by a group of American citizens toward health and medicine which run the gamut from the very modern to those which have prevailed in the highlands of Southeast Asia for centuries.

This book is therefore written for nurses, physicians, physical therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who share responsibility to guide their patients in enhancing and maintaining health and well-being.Effective patient education is a way of communicating that fosters a partnership between the patient and health professional.

The health professional can assess the patient's preexisting beliefs and attitudes, fears and anxieties, and individual life and family circumstances in order to communicate health recommendations in accordance with individual patient needs.
