Vulnerable immigrant populations require culturally sensitive nursing care that shows respect for their beliefs and values, and fosters trusting relationships by allowing the time required to communicate in their language of origin. Transcultural Nursing Theory (Leininger & McFarland, 2002) provides a philosophical foundation for nursing care of immigrant populations. Harsh political policies involving undocumented immigrants can erode trust and cause fear of all U.S. institutions, including the health-care system. Separating families in an effort to deter entry into the United States without documentation can lead to detrimental effects on the children (Perreira & Pedroza, 2019). The American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (2015) addresses the protection of vulnerable populations.

Der Wunsch nach Handlungsvorschlägen für den «Umgang» mit Migranten und Migrantinnen im klinischen Kontext hat zu einer vermehrten Rezeption der «Transkulturellen Pflege» von Madeleine Leininger geführt. Die meist kritiklose Übernahme ihrer Theorie ohne theoretische und historische Einbettung führt in der Praxis zu Stereotypisierungen ethnischer Gruppen und zur Kulturalisierung sozialer und individueller Dimensionen, statt zu einem gegenseitigen transkulturellen Verstehen. Leiningers Modell ist aus heutiger Perspektive nicht brauchbar, um eine transkulturelle Pflege in der Praxis zu etablieren. Eine Theorie, welche nicht die Auseinandersetzung mit eigenen soziokulturellen Hintergründen, sondern den Blick von außen auf das sogenannt Fremde fördert, und welche nicht die Interaktion, sondern Kulturen ins zentrum stellt, kann nicht als Grundlage einer transkulturellen Pflege dienen. Eine zeitgemäße transkulturelle Pflege bezweckt nicht die Konstruktion eines spezifischen Pflegemodells für Migranten und Migrantinnen, sondern die Erweiterung der Pflege um die soziokulturelle und migrationsspezifische Dimension. Doch die Pflege scheint diese Herausforderung nicht anzunehmen, ist es doch weitaus einfacher, die Leiningersche Kulturpflegetheorie in die bestehenden Curricula als zusätzliches Modell hinzuzufügen. Die Pflege verpaßt es so, sich kritisch mit der Übernahme bestimmter Theorien und Modelle aus anderen Disziplinen auseinanderzusetzen. Auch wenn Leininger selbst Pflegende ist, so hat sie doch als Ethnologin auf dem Hintergrund ethnologischer Theorien ihr Modell entwickelt. Die Vermittlung der transkulturellen Pflege verlangt aber auch von Ethnologen und Ethnologinnen eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem konkreten Kontext der Pflege und deren Ansätzen. Nur so kann die Ethnologie bewußt der Gefahr, als Randdisziplin marginalisiert und auf Kochbuchrezepte reduziert zu werden, etwas entgegensetzen.

AbstractIntroduction.The ongoing process of globalisation is contributing to the reconfiguration of social behaviour, even in small and relatively stable communities. The increased migration of people has led to more-varied groups of patients. The provision of nursing care which is consistent with a given culture, and adjusted to the particular needs of its recipient, is becoming a necessity. The development of cultural competence in the nurse's education, aimed at responding to the needs and demands of the global community, constitutes a current challenge for nursing.Aim.The aim of this paper is to describe the assumptions put forward within the selected theoretical models of transcultural nursing, the nurses' cultural competences arising from them, and the possibility of their scientific evaluation.Method.A non-systematic review of the literature based on the thematic selection of content and authors.Results.The paper presents four basic theories and theoretical models of transcultural nursing which are well described in the literature on nursing, i.e. theories by M. Leininger, L. Purnell, J. Campinha-Bacote, J.N. Giger and R.E. Davidhizar, and their related cultural competences. The theoretical models constitute a foundation for the provision of nursing care to various populations, providing resources to overcome obstacles and challenges in situations where nurses care for patients with various cultural backgrounds. The article also presents the most important tools for the assessment of cultural competences based on the basic theoretical models of transcultural nursing.Conclusions.Cultural competences in nursing set the direction for investment in self-development for both nurses-theorists and nursing practitioners. Understanding the components of cultural competences and their assessment plays an important and necessary role in the implementation of the concept of multiculturalism in nursing.

<p>This talk will look at difficulties for RVNs working in private practice gaining access to sufficient papers and studies in order to provide the evidence we need, and also looking at the selection of appropriate topics. We will look at sources of information such as the RCVS Knowledge library in order to collect evidence, and also how to select appropriate, relevant topics for research which will be useful to other RVNs working in practice, and will help in the creation of nursing protocols and nursing care bundles, which will advance nursing and patient care.</p><p>This is a podcast of Louise's talk at the Veterinary Evidence Today conference, Edinburgh November 1, 2016.</p><p><a href="/index.php/ve/article/view/89/124"><img src="/public/site/images/bridget/image.PNG" alt="" /></a></p><br /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" />

During the 1970s the discipline of nursing deliberately blended with the field of anthropology to create the field of transcultural nursing. The major goal of this blending was to transform anthropological concepts into the nursing process in order to render culturally congruent nursing care. This article suggests a further blending of transcultural nursing with transcultural medicine, cross-cultural psychology, theology, social workl/child welfare, and hospital administration to create a culturally conscious practice model of healthcare delivery.
