Abstract

In a rapidly changing world, where people from diverse cultures move about more readily, nurses may find themselves faced with patients and clients with a totally different world perspective and health belief system.

ABSTRAK
In ‘n wêreld wat vinnig verander vind ons dat persone van uiteenlopende kulture meer migreer. Verpleegkundiges bevind hulle midde in die proses en kom gevolglik in kontak met pasiënte en kliënte met ’n ander wêreld- en gesondheidsbeskouing.
