Study Notes

Communication

Communication is the medium through which culture is transmitted and preserved.
Both verbal and non-verbal communication are learned culturally.
Space refers to the distance between individuals when they interact.
Rules regarding personal distance vary from culture to culture.
Territoriality refers to feeling or an attitude toward one’s personal area.

The intimate distance is from touching to 1 ½ feet, personal is 1 ½ to 4 feet, social is 4 to 12 feet, and public is 12 to 15 feet.

Transcultural Nursing

Transcultural Nursing Theory was developed by Madeleine Leininger.
It borrows concepts from anthropology, the study of human behavior, cultures, and societies.
Culture is learned, shared and transmitted values, beliefs, norms and lifeways of a particular group that guides the thinking, decisions and actions in patterned ways.
Biological variations include genetic differences, growth patterns, body systems, racial anatomical characteristics, and disease prevalence.
Transcultural refers to extending through more than one human culture, while multicultural refers to several different cultures.
The Purnell Model for Cultural Competence captures different aspects related to communication, relationship development, and religion.
Cultural competence involves five stages: cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural desire, and cultural encounters.
Barriers to cultural competence include language, stereotypes and prejudices, signs and symbols, behaviors and beliefs, and “us” versus “them” (ethnocentrism).
