Culture provides the context for all health care and social service throughout the human life span. Improving end-of-life and palliative care and enhancing patient and family outcomes requires a nuanced understanding of cultural contexts for those who provide care and those who receive it. The authors of this article propose an emerging model of culturally congruent care that can guide intervention for social workers, mental health professionals, nurses, and other health care workers caring for a diverse population of patients, families, and communities.
文化为贯穿人类一生的所有医疗保健和社会服务提供了背景。改善临终关怀和姑息治疗并提高患者及家庭的治疗效果,需要对提供护理者和接受护理者的文化背景有细致入微的理解。本文作者提出了一种新出现的文化契合护理模式,该模式可为照顾不同患者群体、家庭和社区的社会工作者、心理健康专业人员、护士及其他医护人员的干预措施提供指导。
