Online resources for culturally and linguistically appropriate services in home healthcare and hospice: part 4: resources for European patients

Abstract

Provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate care for home care and hospice patients is a national mandate. Finding patient-education materials in languages other than English can be a challenge for clinicians in workplaces lacking affiliation with a hospital that provides multilingual resources to its patients. Many hospitals, government agencies, and foundations have made appropriate resources freely available on the Internet. However, identifying them is time consuming. This article reviews a variety of sources for access to patient-education materials in the multiple languages of Europe.
