Ah yes, that's what I'm looking for. I'll look it up on Barnes and Nobel and Amazon. I know each family is unique in a culture but, I want to at least come at it with some knowledge. Thanks so much.

We have this as a mandatory competency for all of our clinical staff. "Culture and Nursing Care: A Pocket Guide" Edited by Juliene G. Lipson, Suzanne L. Dibble, and Pamela A. Minarik. Published by UCSF Nursing Press University of California, San Francisco 1996. This book provides a quick reference to 24 different ethnic groups and includes summaries in Cultural/Ethnic Identity, Communication, Language, Literacy, Self Care Practices, Food Practices, Disease Management, Birth and Death Rituals, Family Relationships, Spiritual and Religious Orientation, Illness belief, and Health Practices. We end up purchasing a new copy every year because ours gets so beat up. This book doesn't directly address individuals from Iraq but does address Farsi and Persion culture which may provide some insight. Good Luck Redge L Campbell MS OTR/L Director of Rehabilitation Services Harrison Hospital Bremerton, WA 98310 360.792.6531 *********��*********** Unsubscribe?
