Abstract

Cultural diversity profoundly influences end-of-life care, impacting patient experiences, family involvement, and healthcare practices. This paper explores the significance of cultural competence among healthcare providers to address the varied beliefs, values, and practices related to dying, death, and bereavement. It highlights the diverse cultural perspectives on end-of-life decisions, including advance directives, palliative care, and the use of life-sustaining treatments. Emphasizing the necessity of respectful communication, the study underscores the importance of individualized care plans that honor cultural preferences. Through an examination of case studies and literature, the paper illustrates the challenges and best practices in delivering culturally sensitive end-of-life care, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive healthcare system that respects and accommodates cultural diversity.
