Description:

This course expands and applies the principles developed in Transcultural Nursing III as it focuses on health needs of individuals, their families and communities as they experience chronic illness and their acute exacerbations. It investigates the conflicts that arise among the variable expectations of family members within western society in general, within western health care institutions in particular, and within non-western cultures. Principles of family theory, health teaching and research are used by the student, as strategies for planning nursing care. Knowledge of cultural patterns is integrated into the coping and change process. It specifically investigates methods of accommodation and negotiation, of enculturation, and of community patterning for adults and their families experiencing medical, surgical, and psychiatric problems.
