Bridging cultural gaps in end-of-life care: the experiences of international charge nurses in Saudi Arabia

This study underscores the need for culturally sensitive communication training for healthcare providers working with diverse patient populations. Hospitals and healthcare institutions should prioritize educational initiatives that equip staff with the skills to engage in open dialogues about death and dying, navigate cultural differences in end-of-life preferences, and address the use of traditional healing practices. By fostering greater cultural understanding and communication competency, healthcare systems can better support both patients and families in navigating the complexities of end-of-life care.

Abstract

This study underscores the need for culturally sensitive communication training for healthcare providers working with diverse patient populations. Hospitals and healthcare institutions should prioritize educational initiatives that equip staff with the skills to engage in open dialogues about death and dying, navigate cultural differences in end-of-life preferences, and address the use of traditional healing practices. By fostering greater cultural understanding and communication competency, healthcare systems can better support both patients and families in navigating the complexities of end-of-life care.
