ProQuest, part of Cambridge Information Group, US, has announced that 'cultural competency reports' from CultureVision are now available in ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source. This information is vital for health care professionals to confidently care for patients with diverse ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs.
The CultureVision documents are based on exhaustive reviews of scholarly literature and government reports. Updated monthly, this resource currently contains reports relating to 30 different ethnicities and 11 religions. These reports include a list of suggested questions for the patient, which allow health care professionals to gain a better understanding of the patient's needs, avoid misunderstandings, and improve treatment outcomes.
ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source provides users with reliable healthcare information covering nursing, allied health, alternative and complementary medicine, and more. The CultureVision content is the latest addition to the ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source. Recently, critical evidence-based nursing content from The Joanna Briggs Institute and key educational finding tools such as Study Paths were added to the database. Additional unique resources are also planned for 2009.
