Summary

Cultural Competencies for Nurses : Impact on Health and Illness

This Text Is A Resource To Help The Nurse At All Levels Navigate Through The Obstacles That Culture Can Place On The Patient Experience. It Compiles The History And Theory Behind Cultural Competency In Nursing And Offers Key Information Regarding Health Beliefs And The Impact Of Culture On Health And Illness.

Cultural Competencies for Nurses: Impact on Health and Illness by Linda Dayer-Berenson will make it easier for students to compare and contrast cultural beliefs and practices among various groups [and] help students understand concepts such as cultural diversities, health care disparities, as well as global health issues related to cultural differences. It is a great resource for all nurses. I would definitely prescribe it for my students, as well as keep it as a resource for my own use. I believe the book has made significant contribution to the existing knowledge about culture care.‘’-Ditsapelo McFarland, Adelphi University
