Description

This book is unique in its global approach to applying the�Guidelines for Culturally Competent Nursing Practice�that were recently endorsed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and distributed to all of its 130 national nursing associations. The purpose of this book is to�illustrate how these guidelines can be put into clinical practice and�to show how practitioners from different countries with diverse populations can�implement them. The first chapter provides the conceptual basis for Culturally Competent Health Care and describes how the guidelines were developed. Each of the next 10 sections presents a chapter describing a specific guideline followed by three or four chapters with detailed case studies to illustrate how the guideline was implemented in a particular cultural setting. All case studies follow a similar format and are written by international authors with clinical expertise and work experience in the culture being presented.� This book will be useful for advanced practice nurses,�healthcare students,�clinicians,�administrators, educators, researchers, and those who provide community health or population-based care.�Typham this is the title: Global Applications of Culturally Competent Health Care: Guidelines for Practice
