Good communication is an essential part of delivering effective nursing
care. Nursing students work in a variety of multicultural settings and
therefore it is imperative that they fully understand their own cultural
context and that of others.
This text illustrates the important differences between cultures and how
these differences can enhance practical nursing. Through the
comprehensive use of case studies and interactive exercises, the book
invites students to reflect on their own knowledge and skills about
culture so that they can learn to communicate in a more effective and
culturally sensitive way. All theory is applied to nursing practice to
demonstrate how situations can arise and be dealt with appropriately
whilst working on clinical placement.
This text is written for students studying the CFP at Year 1.
Communication will be studied either as part of a Professional Issues
module, or Nursing Practice.
