Description:Winner of an AJN Book of the Year Award! Preparing nurses and other health professionals to provide quality health care amid the increasingly multicultural and global society of the 21st century requires a new, comprehensive approach that emphasizes cultural competence education throughout professional education and professional practice. Written in response to this need, Teaching Cultural Competence in Nursing and Health Care is intended as a primary resource for educators and graduate students in academic settings, health care institutions, and professional associations. It is the only book that presents a research-supported conceptual model and a valid, reliable corresponding questionnaire to guide educational strategy design, implementation, and evaluation. Teaching Cultural Competence in Nursing and Health Care provides readers with valuable tools and strategies for cultural competence education that can easily be adapted by educators at all levels.
