  • Transcultural Care

    A Book and Video Guide to Cultural Competence in Healthcare Professions
    • 1st Edition
    • Irena Papadopoulos
    • English
    Cultural competence is not just a theoretical concept but a practical necessity. Evidence has established that effective, efficient, and compassionate care in an increasingly diverse world cannot be achieved unless the health workforce is culturally competent. Transcultural Care by Irena Papadopoulos, a leading expert in transcultural health and nursing, offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing cultural competence in healthcare settings. This book and its accompanying videos are designed to help a wide range of students and professionals navigate the complexities of cultural diversity in patient care.Through a systematic exploration of key concepts such as communication, compassion, and ethical practice, the author introduces the readers to essential cultural competence models, including her own established Papadopoulos, Tilki, and Taylor model. The content also delves into the emerging roles of AI and robotics in healthcare, providing a forward-thinking perspective on how technology intersects with cultural competence. The book also introduces the post-human theory, exploring its relevance to cultural and compassionate competence in health care.Transcultural Care is not just a textbook, but a practical resource with case studies, exercises, and interesting videos that allow self-paced learning. Whether you are a student, a qualified healthcare professional looking to enhance your skills, or an educator preparing the next generation of culturally competent and compassionate caregivers, this book is an invaluable addition to your library.
