    Study Notes

    Transcultural Nursing

    • Transcultural nursing is a specialized field requiring education
    • It's a client-centered, research-focused approach to culturally competent care
    • All nurses, regardless of background, must use transcultural knowledge to provide culturally appropriate care
    • Every person is unique and nurses should avoid projecting their own cultural values onto clients
    • Nurses need to understand their own beliefs and values to separate them from clients' beliefs
    • Cultural differences influence how clients are viewed and treated
    • Giger and Davidhizar's Transcultural Assessment Model is a practical tool for evaluating cultural influences on health and illness
    • This model helps rapidly assess and analyze cultural factors
    • The model considers transcultural nursing, culturally diverse care, culturally competent care, culturally unique individuals, and culturally sensitive environments
    • Culturally diverse nursing care involves using varied approaches to ensure appropriate and competent care
    • Nurses need culturally appropriate knowledge and skill to adapt to diverse client populations
    • Cultural competency requires understanding cultural influences on care delivery
    • Individuals' beliefs and practices regarding their environment affect health behaviors

    Cultural Assessment

    • Cultural assessment is vital for culturally competent care, focusing on beliefs, values, and practices
    • Assessments help identify potential communication and care barriers
    • Nurses need culturally appropriate communication strategies for effective care
    • Leininger's Sunrise Model: a comprehensive framework focusing on social structures, cultural values, language, and environment to understand how these factors influence health and care
    • Culturally appropriate care considers cultural backgrounds to provide relevant treatment
    • Brownlee's Community, Culture, and Care model helps assess community health needs, but is complex for individual clients
    • Murdock's materials offer a comprehensive nursing assessment tool
    • Note: these models and tools are often complex and not always ideal for individual clients in a practice setting

    Cultural Phenomena

    • 6 key cultural phenomena that impact care: (communication, space, social organization, time, environmental control, biological variations)
    • Communication: includes language, dialects, nonverbal cues, and communication styles
    • Space: Includes personal space, territoriality, touch, and proximity in conversations
    • Social organization: Includes family structures, social roles, cultural traditions, and kinship systems
    • Time: Includes past, present, and future orientation, punctuality, and scheduling preferences.
    • Environmental control: Includes beliefs about the environment's impact on health, perceptions of control, traditional and alternative therapies, and preventive health behaviors
    • Biological variations: Includes physiological, genetic factors, and responses to medications and procedures, with cultural differences in susceptibility to diseases and responses to treatment
    • Culturally efficacious, neutral, dysfunctional, and uncertain practices affect health and must be understood by nurses

    Cultural Practices

    • Efficacious practices: support health and well-being
    • Neutral practices: neither harm nor benefit health but may give comfort
    • Dysfunctional practices: could harm health or worsen an existing condition
    • Uncertain practices: need further evidence to understanding effects on health
