Beskrivning
Over 25,000 older people from minority ethnic backgrounds live with dementia in the UK. Research suggests that these communities often face inequalities across the dementia care pathway and often don't receive/access support until crisis point. Our modern society is wonderfully diverse with a range of cultures and ethnicities, with their own traditions, languages, and religions.When dealing with the challenges of dementia, individuals, their families, and communities from minority ethnic backgrounds-must be provided with appropriate advice, care, and support. Drawing on the evidence base, as well as personal and professional experience, chapters cover stigma surrounding the disease, promoting dementia awareness, risk factors for developing dementia, and much more. With an account of key issues and needs for people from minority ethnic communities at each stage of life with dementia, readers are given practical examples of culturally sensitive support, services, and interventions.

Recensioner i media

This excellent book deserves to become a core textbook on any training course on dementia for health and social care professionals. Jan Oyebode and Sahdia Parveen set out to draw together research and practical experience about the ways that being from a minority ethnic group impacts on a person's experiences of dementia and then to highlight what sort of support is needed or beneficial. They have fully succeeded in these aims and have provided a vital resource not just for clinicians, health and social care workers and managers but also for anyone with an interest in dementia care.
