By Culture Advantage - interculturalist-in-training (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transcultural Communication in Health Care (Paperback)
This is a comprehensive, well-organized, practical guide in transcultural communication. The special features such as the self-assessment exercises, self-evaluation exercises, diary, and end-of-chapter questions are particularly motivating and instructive to the beginner transcultural communication practitioner. Although the book is practice-oriented, mentioning the contribution of Leininger to transcultural nursing theory would have been appropriate.Another special feature that I liked is the discussion of culturally appropriate nursing diagnoses. It explains why the NANDA taxonomy may be culturally biased and provides recommendations for writing more culturally appropriate nursing diagnoses. Another feature is the chapter on working with interpreters. It provides guidelines for working with and without interpreters.. I think a section on sign-language or deaf-interpreters would have been a nice addition. There are also on-line translation resources that are now available. I also liked the annotated list of books and films. I would suggest adding books such as by nurse-anthropologist Jody Glittenberg, "To the mountain and back", of her experiences as a nurse and anthropologist in Guatemala. I reviewed the 1999 paperback edition.

Never Received Order,
By
This review is from: Transcultural Communication in Health Care (Paperback)
I recently ordered a textbook from a third party through Amazon.com which turned out to be a bad experience for me. The seller never sent me the book and didn't bother to contact Amazon or me to initiate reimbursement of my funds. I contacted the seller after almost two weeks of not receiving the book and he stated "The book was shipped... Standard shipping. Standard Shipping is media mail, it could take awhile.. But it was shipped."(verbatim)It has now been over a month since I brought this textbook and never received. After contacting the seller a second time which he never responded I called Amazon.com customer service. I received my book from another website at a cheaper price, but I am still waiting for Amazon to reimburse my money. Therefore I cannot offer a rating for this product because I never received it from the seller (Sean)
