Free Cultural Competencies For Nurses
I found the book "Cultural Competencies for Nurses" to be extremely informative and helpful. I was aware that culture plays an important role in an individuals outlook on health and the care they receive but I did not have a really good understanding of how and why. At my current job we have mandatory yearly training on cultural competencies but it is very brief. This book really was an eye opener and gave me a really good understanding and appreciation for the impact that culture has on patients. Reading through the chapters, I found so many topics and issues that are relevant to situations that I deal with on a regular. I can also reflect on situations that have occurred in the past that did not make sense to me before, but now they make sense and now I can appreciate and understand why certain actions occurred.
I also liked how there are different chapters for the different cultures. If I had a patient that was a different culture, I can go right to the chapter and familiarize myself with their culture which would be really beneficial to meeting their needs. I do understand that just because a person is for example, Asian, it does not mean I can read the chapter on Asians and everything will fit and be appropriate. I know everyone is an individual and I also think cultures are mixing and ever changing. So maybe the individual deviates from the norm, but at least I would have an idea and starting point to gaining a better understanding. This book is a really good reference and resource.
