Transcultural Nursing(how we relate to or conflict with Arabic Culture in caring for these patients in the US)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Transcultural Nursing : One Thread

I am doing research for a paper on transcultural nursing and would appreciate any info particularily as it relates to our caring for Arabic patients in hospital or clinical setting. How do their cultural practices clash, conflict with my understanding of their medical needs?How does this impact my nursing practices? Thank you for your help.

Joan,

Look at the Cross-Cultural Health Care Program (CCHCP) at Pacific Medical Center. This "Voices of the Communities" profile is one of a series developed by the CCHCP. http://ethnomed.org/ethnomed/voices/arab.html THE ARAB COMMUNITIES IN THE SEATTLE AREA

Also try a search in The Library of Congress Country Studies http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/csquery.html
