Multiethnic experiences enhance nursing students' learning.

This project was undertaken to expand student learning experiences with Hispanic and Southeast Asian clients. In addition to classroom experiences, the project included home visiting with individual families. The visits focused on health promotion/ disease prevention and illness care as necessary. Students also taught group health promotion classes. At the completion of this experience students were able to relate more therapeutically to minority clients and to plan culturally acceptable nursing interventions, and they demonstrated increased cultural self-efficacy.

The development of culturally appropriate health education materials.

Addressing the extensive health needs of linguistic minority populations often requires the development of culturally appropriate health education materials. This article describes the preparation and evaluation of health education materials on medication that were tailored for the Latino and Southeast Asian clients. The culturally sensitive adaptation of materials and the involvement of community representatives are critical steps in this process. The number of requests for these materials illustrated the widespread need for this type of media.
