Summary

How do you perceive your cultural identity?

All of us are shaped by the cultures we interact with and the cultural backgrounds and ethnicities that are part of our heritage.

Take a dynamic approach to the study of culture and health care relationships.

Dr. Marilyn A. Ray shows us how cultures influence one another through inter-cultural relationships, technology, globalization, and mass communication, and how these influences directly shape our cultural identities in today’s world. She integrates theory, practice, and evidence of transcultural caring to show you how to apply transcultural awareness to your clinical decision making.

Go beyond common stereotypes using a framework that can positively impact the nurse-patient relationship and the decision-making process. You’ll learn how to deliver culturally competent care through the selection and application of transcultural assessment, planning and negotiation tools  for interventions.
