RESUMO
This research paper examines the background, cosmology, and health, illness, healing, death, and mourning-related beliefs and practices of two groups of refugees in Canada, the ethnic Viet and the Lao Hmong. Emphasis is placed on the syndrome of uprootedness among refugees which exacerbates the patient's sense of loss in the palliative care setting. Practical recommendations to improve care of these patients and their families are made.
