Article Abstract:

Asian communities in the UK need a greater level of service provision for members suffering mental health problems. The differing cultural, spiritual and religious approach to mental illness in the Asian community make it a sensitive subject for mental health care providers to tackle. Asian people need services which provide information in their own language, raise awareness of services on offer and tackle the underlying issue of mistrust surrounding western medical care.

A new way of life: finding a suitable kidney donor can be a traumatic experience but after the euphoria of the transplant, patients can struggle to follow their new drug regime

Article Abstract:

A nurse describes her experience with a patient who had undergone a kidney transplant and needed to make signficant alterations to her lifestyle. A care plan had to be devised as the patient was to take immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of her life, based on Orem's model of patient care. This required an holistic assessment of self care abilities, identifying learning requirements, ensuring appropriate care.
