title: ["And the suffering is also borne by the following generations"--an international literature study on the nursing care for Jewish patients].
abstract: Jewish refugees from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) are a constantly growing minority about whose care needs little is known in the scientific literature. Considerably more research has been done on the care needs of members of the Jewish faith outside the CIS, especially of those living in the USA, Israel and Canada. The ensuing international literature study was compiled as part of a pilot project promoted by the Robert Bosch Stiftung concerning the care needs of Jewish refugees from the CIS, with the aim of investigating available nursing experiences with the target group. The keywords "Juden", '"jüdisch", "Migranten", "jew", , "jewish" "migrants" and "nursing" were used for the analysis of altogether 67 articles from various data sources. The literature study generated the following internationally significant topics: the psychological and social situation and the resulting special features of the nursing care required by all of them viz: two generations of holocaust-survivors, their children, and Jewish migrants from the CIS; various religious orientations subdivided roughly into the categories orthodox, conservative and reform, in that each category represents different attitudes which affect nursing care; aspects of Jewish ethics relevant to nursing; the specifics of caring for gerontological Jewish patients; and socio-cultural aspects of palliative care. One of the most important results was that Jewish refugees from the CIS share in particular the experience of persecution with the holocaust-survivors and their offspring, which bears specific implications for nursing care.
