    Cet ouvrage propose une initiation pratique aux soins infirmiers interculturels, c'est-à-dire à la prise en charge du patient d'origine étrangère. Il fournit d'abord des fondements théoriques en définissant les concepts à l'œuvre dans cette relation interculturelle soignant-soigné (communication, culture, acculturation, identité culturelle, identité du soignant, etc.), puis dans un second temps donne des clés de compréhension pour la prise en charge du patient migrant, en déroulant les situations de soins selon les différents moments de la vie et les classes d'âge, selon les différentes cultures : - la maternité et la naissance ; - l'enfant et l'adolescent, l'éducation et le passage à la vie adulte mais aussi les conduites à risque ; - l'adulte malade et le rapport au corps, à l'hygiène ; - la personne âgée et la mort. L'ouvrage se termine enfin par un aperçu de la pratique des soins infirmiers dans d'autres cultures, à l'occasion par exemple de missions humanitaires.
