Deciding how to care for a patient requires looking at the patient as a whole person from physiological, psychological, spiritual, and social perspective, it’s also important to consider the patients culture and cultural background.
Madeleine Leininger believed nursing values revolved around being caring and knowing what it was to care. Leininger discusses what it is to care in her theory. You must understand what it is to care in order to provide culturally congruent and competent treatment.
“Each person is unique and different from all other persons” (Chitty & Black, p. 275). Some personal cultural factors to consider in the healthcare industry:
“Health practices are culturally determined and include nutritional habits, type and amount of exercise and rest, how one copes with stress, quality of interpersonal relationships, expression of spirituality, and numerous other lifestyle factors” (Chitty & Black, p.284). Some cultural beliefs relating to a person’s health may include :
Leininger’s theory relates to one’s health because a person’s culture can impact the way they seek medical care, how they react to their illness, and how they respond to treatment (Quan, n.d.).
Leininger’s theory is associated with the nursing practice because in order to provide good nursing care, the nurse, “…recognizes each individual’s unique needs and tailors the plan of nursing care to take that uniqueness into consideration” (Chitty & Black, p.277).
According to Chitty and Black, Jan the nurse, experienced first hand how a cultural barrier negatively impacted her patient and family to the point that they no longer wanted her services and requested a new nurse. This all could have been avoided had Jan known it was considered rude to decline an offer. Cultural barriers happen all to often while patient’s are at the hospital. Some religions do not allow blood products, while others believe having a spiritual leader at their bedside chanting while the patient is actively dying, does something for their spirit. We as nurses and healthcare providers are not to judge, but to accept and accommodate these differences. Once we accept cultural differences and adapt our methods to suit their cultural beliefs, we will have successfully transitioned into Transcultural Care.
The theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality began to be developed in the mid-1950’s.
