Health
Studies and Nursing
Not surprisingly, nursing and health care are
becoming more complex in response to current changes
in society. Similarly, as patients' expectations of
health and the provision of care increase, nursing is
becoming more research-oriented. Thus, the concept of
androgogy, or life-long learning, becomes crucial if
care is to be appropriate as well as effective.

Health
Needs of a Changing
Population
The
landscape of healthcare is changing. The location for
service is changing from hospital-based to alternative
locations - home, rehabilitation center, subacute care
center, and urgent care center. Clients cross international
borders to receive healthcare. The age of the client
is changing from younger clients to older clients. Healthcare
personnel are changing from a common ethnic origin to
a variety of ethnic origins. Clients come from many
different ethnic backgrounds. All of this change creates
the need for healthcare personnel to be familiar with
transcultural or intercultural principles of care. |
