Celebrating the beauty and the challenge of culture and diversity.

JAMARDA Resources, Inc. brings you the fifth edition of the Cultural, Ethnic and Religious Reference Manual for Health Care Providers written for frontline health care providers by Janice D. Andrews, a registered nurse. Mrs. Andrews has been intimately involved for many years with the cultural challenges experienced by providers who strive to deliver quality patient care.

Because religious practices may also strongly impact care delivery, there are chapters specifically devoted to religious groups frequently encountered in healthcare settings. Administrators and managers in health care facilities, higher education institutions, and individuals and private practices will want this manual on all clinical units and ancillary departments. This book has also been a resource for new employee orientation, students, and hospice facilities. Additionally, this manual will help your facility meet accreditation standards and requirements, provide a quick reference for caregivers and therefore, increase client satisfaction with care.

Formatted to provide a quick overview for health care providers in busy practice environments, sections are organized to include critical points in care delivery related to:

• Kinship/social relationships
• Common practices related to death/dying
• Patient teaching/dietary considerations
• Religious representatives/core religious beliefs and practices
• Extensive references for further reading
• Background information about groups including common health risks
• Common issues related to birth/children
• Time perception influences
• Common health beliefs and practices
• Primary language and issues important to communication
