Product Description
Marilyn Ray's unique text/workbook captures the dynamic approach to the study of culture and health. Her premise is that there are very few pure cultures due to globalization and mass communication.Consequently, cultures are in a dynamic relationship with each other on both a personal and professional basis. This text/workbook examines transcultural caring, ethical principles, and religious backgrounds and offers a model to transcultural decision making.Transcultural caring is examined in the context of transcultural caring dynamics, ethical principles, transcultural context, universal sources, and personal cultural and decision-making foundations. This text presents discussion of self-awareness tools and how personal beliefs influence the assessment and care planning for the patient. In the workbook section, case studies are presented followed by space for the student to work through the case using the CARING mnemonic (case, assess, reflect, interpret, name, and gather). Appendices contain summary of characteristic behaviors, beliefs, and other significant topics regarding ethnic groups and religious sects.
