Multicultural Nursing I

The first comprehensive textbook on multicultural nursing written by our experts is intended for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of health and social sciences. This two-volume book introduces readers to the theories, concepts, and rationale of culturally congruent care and teaches them how to determine the needs, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing and medical care for patients of different ethnicities and cultures. This first part focuses mainly on the theoretical and methodological background and the structure of culturally congruent care in the Czech Republic. The second part contains practical guidelines for caring for foreigners and suggestions for teaching this topic in schools. The authors, who are leading experts in the field of health care for foreigners, used not only their own experience but also the results of many projects managed by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic.
