Culturally Competent Care In Psychiatric Hospitals
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. It is not possible to live in a world without diversity for the simple reason that there are far too many types of people to expect everyone to adhere to the same set of social, political or cultural standards. Patients are individuals no matter their origin and, as such, have different needs based upon their cultural roots; implementing the tenets of diversity serves to unite – while at the same time respect - those differences. This, however, is not always an applied perspective when it comes to culturally competent care appropriate for a psychiatric hospital; where nurturing and compassion typically hold sway in health care environments, a common assertion is both within and outside of the industry is how far too many nurses fail to incorporate culturally sensitivity into their dealings with patients.
