Let’s Learn Together, Let’s Work Together by Kathleen Markey,Larry O’Connor,Patricia White Pdf
This volume explores some of the global challenges and possible solutions for transcultural health and social care, and includes a selection of papers that were presented at the 2nd European Transcultural Nursing Association International Conference, in June 2011. This collection explores some of the challenges and possible solutions from the perspectives of various countries regarding promoting transcultural health and social care, including Ireland, Turkey, Strasbourg, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Sweden and Australia. As outlined in the papers included, the provision of transculturally competent care is challenging and requires knowledgeable, skilled and culturally sensitive health and social care professionals. The delivery of culturally competent care requires a commitment from health and social care services, professionals working within these services, and institutes of education responsible for educating healthcare professionals to understand and be responsive to the needs of culturally diverse patients. Learned behaviour and deeply rooted values must be challenged to address unwitting prejudices and stereotyping. Attention should focus on creating an environment of trust where critical reflection occurs, blame is avoided, risk managed and new ideas developed, tested and evaluated.

Annual Review of Nursing Research, Volume 37 by Anonim Pdf
One of the most challenging aspects of the current healthcare system, especially for nurses, is cultural diversity across a variety of societies. Nurses, caregivers, and other practitioners must be equipped and aware of their patients’ cultural background in order to respond appropriately and sensitively while providing the proper care. Clearly the techniques and beliefs within cultures is highly diverse, requiring those providing care to possess knowledge that allows them to combine global and cultural practices into their day-to-day occupation. This consist of not only learning cultural differences and similarities, but examining nursing throughout other parts of the world, and the health problems being faced in different geographical settings. This volume is intended to provide nurses, physicians, specialists, and providers with the information needed to provide capable care and treatment to individuals of diverse cultures. Each chapter author was selected for their interest and knowledge of transcultural and social research. The content of this volume provides a look at classic contributions to the field, up-to-date research, and evaluates the impact of diverse cultures on issues that may affect nursing and health care, such as: Key Topics: Leininger’s Culture Care Diversity and Universality The Current State of Transcultural Nursing Transcultural Mental Health Nursing Culture and Consent in Clinical Care Obesity Among African Immigrant Populations Cultural Factors Influencing Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors
Advances in Contemporary Transcultural Nursing by John Daly,Debra Jackson Pdf
In planning this issue of Contemporary Nurse,we set out to publish international scholarly projects concerned with health and culture, issues that traverse health and nursing care, and in particular, how nurses could act in response to them.This is the first Australian journal to dedicate an issue to transcultural nursing. It speaks for the awareness of the centrality of culture to the provision of effective health care that nurses have in the region.Since the Whitlam government adopted a multicultural ideology in the early 1970?s, culture has been placed squarely on the Australian health care agenda. It was a catalyst for Australian nurses to position culture as central to delivery of health care. Though various ideologies and perspectives currently exist within the discourses that surround health, nursing and culture, Madeleine Leininger''s pioneering work, which resulted in her Theory of Transcultural Nursing (1978) became the seminal body of knowledge about culture from a nursing perspective. Leininger developed the theory of ''''Culture Care Diversity and Universality'''' in nursing in the early 1950?s, along with over 30 distinct concepts and many principles to guide nurses in transcultural nursing. The theory was to discover what is universal (or commonalities) and what was diverse about human care values, beliefs and practices, and was critical for a future body of transcultural nursing knowledge.Madeleine Leininger''s Theory of Transcultural Nursing has stood the test of time. From its framework, worldwide research has demonstrated a value, applicability and appeal of the theory that crosses cultural borders. Today, Leininger''s ?Sunrise Enabler? (1997) cognitive map is used worldwide by many graduate and undergraduate students.The growth of transcultural nursing internationally is indicative of a commitment by nurses to move towards a disciplinary base that is includes cultural care and embraces diversity in all its forms. Transcultural Nurse Consultant, Dr Akram Omeri in Sydney, and Olga Kanitsaki, Professor of Transcultural Nursing, at RMIT University in Melbourne, are two Australian leaders in this field. We are delighted they have both contributed to this issue. Largely through the efforts of these (and other) nurse leaders, transcultural nursing principles and practice continue to develop recognition in Australia. Leininger''s Theory of Transcultural Nursing is reaching out to a new generation of nurses, able to access the collegiality and support of likeminded peers through the Transcultural Nursing Network.Discourse surrounding Leininger''s Theory of Transcultural Nursing further attests to its relevance in today''s world. These debates reflect the dynamism and volatility surrounding cultural care as a construct, and how we address nursing care in our daytoday practice as clinicians, researchers, educators and citizens.Australian and New Zealand nurses have contributed to the discourse by raising questions about the appropriateness of a transcultural perspective for nurses (e.g., Bruni 1988; Cooney 1994; Coup 1996; Swendson & Windsor 1996; Ramsden 2002). Much of the critique is informed by postmodern ideas addressing power, oppression and dominance. Ramsden (2002) has developed a theory of Cultural Safety that grew from the experience of colonisation and its associated social inequity and injustice.With her Theory of Transcultural Nursing, Madeleine Leininger blazed a trail for others to follow. Her pioneering work has created a space for people to speak, engage, debate, contemplate, deliberate, develop and grow. Through raising awareness of cultural care as a legitimate area of study and authentic area of practice, Leininger opened the door for nurses to undertake research that looks at cultural aspects of health, sickness, nursing and health care.This issue of Contemporary Nurse, titled Advances in Contemporary Transcultural Nursing, is comprised of four sections: Globalization: Nursing Education, Research and Clinical Practice; Culture and Health; Cardiovascular Health; and Mental Health. This collection reflects shared international concerns, examining through case studies, literature reviews and research articles, the impacts of globalization, migration, colonization, social inequity and technology on health care, health management and health behaviour of indigenous people, immigrants, ethnic groups and multicultural societies. Space and other considerations limit inclusion of a comprehensive range of topics. Our focus on these sections is indicative of clinical challenges to nursing knowledge and culturally competent care. They focus various aspects of culture as central to the health of people, families, communities and countries.During the long peer review and production phases of this special issue we were challenged, stimulated and engaged in many ways. We acknowledge in particular the invaluable advice on each version of the manuscripts by the referees from over 15 countries, who are named in this issue. To make Advances in Contemporary Transcultural Nursing available to students and nonsubscribers, the Publisher ([email protected]) has also made this issue available as a book (ISBN 0975043617) at discounted prices for individuals, researchers and course adoptions.We trust that you will find the articles stimulating, engaging and valuable to your research, teaching and clinical practice. It is our honour to dedicate this issue of Contemporary Nurse to Professor Madeleine Leininger.

Delivering Culturally Competent Nursing Care, Second Edition: by Gloria Kersey-Matusiak, PhD, RN Pdf
Newly revised and updated, Delivering Culturally Competent Nursing Care, Second Edition, explores the cross-cultural interactions and conflicts between nurses and the diverse array of patients they may see. Culturally competent nurses can cut through preconceptions, reduce health disparities, and deliver high-quality care as they encounter patients from a range of backgrounds and beliefs. As frontline providers for diverse populations, nurses are expected to treat each patient with empathy and respect. This text addresses what it really means to be culturally competent in nursing practice. As representatives of specific cultural, racial, ethnic, and sociopolitical groups, nurses bring their own values, beliefs, and attitudes to all interactions with patients and with one another. Whether or not nurses choose to make their attitudes explicit, these attitudes ultimately influence the quality of care they provide to patients. The content of this book is grounded in the Staircase Model, which builds upon the nurse’s own self-assessment to identify personal limitations, find strategies to improve cultural competence, and progress to the next level. This text features case scenarios that apply the process of cultural competence to different healthcare situations.
