Drawing this information together, it then introduces two invaluable frameworks for practice, one of cultural competence and one of culturally competent compassion, and applies them to care scenarios. Papadopoulos goes on to discuss: how nurses in different countries understand and provide compassion in practice; how students learn about compassion; how leaders can create and champion compassionate working environments; and how we can, and whether we should, measure compassion.</p><p>Culturally Competent Compassion is essential reading for healthcare students and its combination of theoretical content and practice application provides a relevant and interesting learning experience. The innovative model for practice presented here will also be of interest to researchers exploring cultural competence and compassion in healthcare.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"presents both theory and application to practice in a meaningful contribution to the literature on culturally competent compassion...There is a robust discussion about the philosophical and religious roots associated with compassion and how it is defined and practiced globally. Papadopoulos presents her own model of culturally competent compassion, which includes three constructs: values (human rights), principles (intercultural education), and framework (cultural awareness, knowledge, sensitivity, and competence). Each construct is explored, and applications to practice are presented in care scenarios." - <i>B. A.
