TextPublisher: London : Routledge, 2019Description: 168 pagesContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781138912809 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Nursing | Anthropology | Transcultural medical care | Health and Fitness | Health and WellbeingDDC classification: 610.7'3 Summary: This title introduces nurses and other healthcare professionals to how anthropology can help them understand nursing as a profession and as a culture. Drawing on key anthropological concepts, the book facilitates the understanding and critical consideration of nursing practice, as seen across a wide range of health care contexts, and which impacts the delivery of appropriate care for service users. Considering the fields in which nurses work, the book argues that in order for nurses to optimize their roles as deliverers of patient care, they must not only engage with the realities of the cultural world of the patient, but also that of their own multi-professional cultural environment.
