Synopsis:
Learn how to manage effectively the concerns related to the aging of the multicultural population. As this population increases, health practitioners are dealing not only with more older patients, but also with greater diversity among older patients and their families. Sociocultural factors such as race, ethnicity, culture, and religion affect health-promoting and health-seeking behaviors of individuals and institutions and affect access and delivery of health services. Cultural Diversity and Geriatric Care provides an educational context in which readers can envision equitable and beneficial care of culturally diverse elderly people and helps readers face some of these concerns and share in their solutions.
