Death is a natural part of the life. The process of dying is as important as the birthing process and all other stages of life. With unique backgrounds, values, and beliefs, individuals bring different needs and expectations to the dying process. It is imperative that healthcare professionals understand, value, and deliver end of life care that is unique to each patient and their family.
Culture plays a significant role in how individuals view themselves and their role in the family and the world around them. Therefore, patients’ approach to illness and death is directly impacted by cultural factors. End of life care should be personalized with the patient’s cultural factors in mind. This webinar will provide important factors and practices to consider when delivering culturally responsive end of life care.
