About this book

This volume is divided into five parts and fifteen chapters that address these topics by examining ethnogeriatric foundations, research issues, clinical care in ethnogeriatrics, education and policy. Expertly written chapters, by practicing geriatricians, gerontologists, clinician researchers and clinician educators, present a systematic approach to recognizing, analyzing and addressing the challenges of meeting the healthcare needs of a diverse population and authors discuss ways in which to engage the community by increasing research participation and by investigating the most prevalent diseases found in ethnic minorities. 


Ethnogeriatrics discusses issues related to working with culturally diverse elders that tend not to be addressed in typical training curricula and is essential reading for geriatricians, hospitalists, advance practice nurses, social workers and others who are part of a multidisciplinary team that provides high quality care to older patients.


Reviews

“The 15 chapters of the book are organized into five main parts and the intended audience includes geriatricians, hospitalists, advance practice nurses, social workers, and others who are part of a multidisciplinary team that provides high-quality care to older patients. … this is a very informative and ambitious book that pulls together a lot of material that will be useful to academics and clinicians working with diverse older populations.” (Sadhna Diwan, The Gerontologist, Vol. 57 (4), August, 2017)


“This book presents the foundation of ethnogeriatrics and discusses related issues such as research, clinical care, policy and economics, and education. … This is an essential topic for healthcare professionals, medical students, nursing students, or anyone who is interested in healthcare practices in different culture and ethnic groups. … This well–organized book is recommended for healthcare providers, social workers, and students in health–related fields.” (Katy T. Nguyen, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017)
