title: Literature review and implications for social work practice with Hispanic dialysis patients.
abstract: Many renal social workers are uncertain about what to expect when providing services to Hispanic patients. The Hispanic dialysis population is a growing minority with a diverse culture. The Hispanic patient's family members are a source of natural support and strength. This article profiles a review of the literature available regarding working with Hispanic patients and their families in a medical setting and provides implications for renal social work practice.
