Cultural Diversity And Transcultural Nursing

Cultural diversity is an important study because of the challenge presented by the health care needs of a growing number of diverse cultural communities and linguistic groups, each with its own cultural traits and health challenges. Healthcare organizations, agencies and others need to contribute to identifying further connections between reductions in health disparities and appropriate delivery of health information and health care (National Institute of Health, 2017).
Transcultural Nursing addresses how nurses interact with patients on a cultural level.
Holistic care is a term used to describe therapies that attempt to treat the patient as a whole person.
Diversity is a concept that encompasses acceptance and respect.
