  • Title: Integrating cultural diversity in patient education.
    Author: Bechtel GA, Davidhizar RE.
    Journal: Semin Nurse Manag; 1999 Dec; 7(4):193-7. PubMed ID: 11013588.
    Abstract:
    Diversity among clients in the American health care system is increasing as the population of the United States changes in composition. Health providers, educators, and supervisors are in unique positions to enhance patient education among members of diverse cultures by incorporating cultural research and health beliefs into patient and staff education. Using a culturally defined framework, health providers can more holistically assess the client and subsequently plan culturally appropriate care.
