"I have come to believe over and

over again that what is important to me

must be spoken, made verbal and shared,

even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood."

About the Book:

The new fifth edition of The Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Services: The Journey Continues continues the journey towards cultural competence in healthcare delivery and becoming a culturally competent healthcare professional by introducing the reader to new and updated content in transcultural health care including culturally sensitive medication assessment tools; a student version of the IAPCC-R© (IAPCC-SV©) (link); tips for conducting a melanocentric physical assessment; exploring Chapman’s (2005) concepts of  “Sacred Encounter,” “Servant’s Heart” and “Radical Loving Care” as they apply to becoming culturally competent; effectively managing cross-cultural conflicts with compassion; and incorporating the concepts of sacrifice, social justice, lethal “isms,” linguistic competence, health literacy, and non face-to-face cross-cultural encounters into the model's constructs of cultural awareness, cultural desire, cultural skill, cultural encounters and cultural knowledge.  Below is the table of contents of the book for your review.

About the Book:

The denial of absolute truth is one of the most outstanding and pervasive characteristics of 20th century thinking.1  Healthcare professionals are encouraged to tolerate all worldviews of their clients and not to assume that there is only one right worldview when treating a client.  It is the position of this book that it is a biblical understanding of truth that will guide healthcare professionals in effectively caring for culturally and ethnically diverse clients.  The purpose of this book is to provide both the discipline and practice of health care with transcultural truth that is biblically based.  I realize that this premise may challenge one’s existing paradigm of cultural competence.  Therefore, I respectfully ask that you examine the content of this book with an open mind, taking in what you can use in your personal journey towards becoming culturally competent.  It is my sincere hope that this book will stimulate a greater awareness and attention of the need to incorporate biblical beliefs in the process of becoming culturally competent.

Note: A formal review of this book appears in the Summer 2006 issue of the Journal of Christian Nursing  (JCN) Volume 23, Number 3, p. 46.
