Providing health care for Southeast Asian refugees

J E Poss. J N Y State Nurses Assoc. 1989 Jun.

Abstract

Approximately 850,000 Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian refugees have come to the United States since the end of the war in Vietnam. Because of language, religious, and cultural differences, these refugees present a challenge for health care providers. Nurses who work with Southeast Asians must understand how their beliefs about illness causation and treatment affect their response to health care.
