Abstract:
It is important to understand the Amish culture in order to provide appropriate, acceptable, and accessible health care to this culturally diverse group. A case study pertaining to the care of a dying elderly Amish woman living in a rural Amish community is examined. This allows for exploration into the world of the Amish community in greater detail. Their overall beliefs, values, and behavior are discussed as well as how their lifestyle affects their health care decisions, access to health care, and reimbursement of services. Nurse practitioners can offer culturally sensitive and appropriate health care to the Amish population by recognizing important cultural values that have survived for more than three hundred years.
