About this title

Synopsis

Indispensable for anyone who provides care to patients of different cultural/ethnic backgrounds, this handy guide presents practical, concise information that could impact patient and family care. An introduction to people from more than 180 countries is presented alphabetically for easy reference. Information regarding major language, health care beliefs, ethnic or racial specific diseases, and national childhood immunizations is among the valuable data included to provide readers with essential information needed for basic assessment.

Countries are organized alphabetically to provide quick access to important cultural information.
National childhood immunization schedules are provided along with the latest information from the World Health Organization to ensure timely and accurate information.
Culture data categories are included, such as health care beliefs or health team relationships to assist the reader in developing an individualized patient assessment.
Brief descriptions of each country's topography are included with maps to illustrate potential environmental etiologies of an illness.
References and related readings are provided to facilitate search for in-depth information.

Country names, information, and topographic maps have been thoroughly updated.
A breakdown of countries is included wherever necessary to illustrate diversity within specific cultural groups; e.g. Laos has two very distinctive cultures.
More historical and political information is included within the discussion of the countries to provide more key background information.
An increased emphasis is provided on how a population appears in the worldview and how their religious backgrounds play such a big role in decision-making.
Expanded content on specific ethnic groups provides a more thorough understanding.
More information is incorporated about naturalistic healing and practices as they relate to the care of the person within that cultural or ethnic group.
The bibliographies are expanded for some countries to provide a more complete reference.
A new author, Carolyn E. D'Avanzo, RN, DNSc, brings a wealth of experience in international health to the third edition.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
