The cultural expression of death and dying
1The Ohio State University College of Nursing, Columbus, OH, USA.
Abstract:
Death and dying are universal experiences for people from all cultural groups. This collective experience is intertwined with issues involving mind, body, and spirit in the context of each person's unique culture. Case managers can be instrumental in teaching other members of the health care team regarding the cultural issues involved in the dying process of terminally ill clients. Successful management of the process for clients and the people important to them requires a culturally competent approach. Moreover, the managers need to understand the cultural process of dying and the death process both for themselves and their clients.
