The principles underpinning the framework of patient, family, and community-centered care consisted in the confluence of the domains of nursing metaparadigm, cultural care diversity and universality theory, theory of caring, concept of teach, and the new worldview of unitary caring paradigm. The theory-driven practice framework embodies globalization focusing in human culture and human experiences. Leininger focused observations in human cultures such as behaviors, needs, responses, and care expectations differing from one individual to another (Leininger, 2015). Swanson centered her way of globalization applying five caring processes: knowing, being with, doing for, enabling, and maintaining belief to reach the caring-healing practice. “Caring,…

COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE Communication techniques are most important tools in nursing, however nurses have need to be informed about culture, also nurses are need to be prepared for dramatic changes in the united states healthcare industry. Day by day United States have become adverse society, because they have a lot of new comers, and also our patients become increasingly diverse.

Professor Joseph J. Caruso identified six phrases of cooperating teacher and student teacher development during the practicum. I think I am in the phase III: Competence vs. Inadequacy. According to Professor Caruso, “A triumph with an individual, a compliment from the cooperating teacher and other occasional occurrences begin to promote feelings of being an effective student teacher.” (Phase in Student Teaching-- Young Children, Vol.33, No.1, p 59)…
Culturally Competent Nursing care Cultural competence is dividing into two categories: organizational and individual. According to (Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development, n.d.), “Organizational cultural competence requires a set of value and principles and demonstration of behaviors, attitudes, policies, and structures that enable them to work effectively cross-culturally” (Andrews, 2008, pp. 17). According to (American Academy of Nursing, 1992, 1993; Campinha-Bacote, 2000, 2002, 2003; Geron, 2002), “Individual cultural competence refer to a complex integration of knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, skills and encounters with those from cultures different from one's own that enhance cross-cultural communication and interaction…

Campinha-Bacote (2011) describes cultural competency as continued efforts to identify and address the cultural needs of every patient. It is vital for every nurse to be culturally-competent. This is one way of providing patient-centered care. To become culturally competent, the nurse requires to possess the cultural skill. Cultural skill is described as the nurse's ability to collect the cultural data from the patient's condition.…
Culture competency is important when working in health care because it closes the gap between healthcare practitioners and their patients. It’s important for healthcare practitioners to not only have an understanding of a patients socio-cultural background because of the different beliefs, values, and traditions they will experience but its also important to know the soai-culutral background of their families. If the patient and their family doesn't feel a certain level of understanding and acceptance of their culture they may feel uncombable voicing their healthcare needs. I also think that It can also help a healthcare practitioner to develop a better treatment plan when knowing the patients approach to their customs and healing traditions.…
Many organizations are moving cultural diversity toward cultural competence in Healthcare (Galambos, C. M. 2003). Under the direction of the National Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity, standards for practice from a cultural competence perspective were developed and adopted by the NASW Board of Directors in 2001 (NASW, 2001). “The standards mentioned above by the NASW Board of Directors in 2001 provide comprehensive definitions of culture, competence, and cultural competence and may be used as a foundation for professional practice” (NASW, 2001). Professional associations should provide more opportunities for awareness in the classroom to increase skills and knowledge when working with diversity communities.…
Becoming culturally competent is not an easy task because it truly requires a nurse to be a good person who could have the ability to empathize and understand another person's points of view, feelings, and circumstances. Not every nurse has this ability or patience to be culturally competent, or even if they have the cultural competence, there is no guarantee that they are willing to advocate for their clients under extreme circumstances. The Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Services has illustrated the five basic requirements for nurses to determine their knowledge and understanding for cultural competence --- skill, knowledge, desire, awareness, and encounters (Kersey-Matusiak, 2012). Nurses must be aware of the consequences of stereotyping and cultural egocentrism. This topic eventually transitions to another topic: Equality deserved in healthcare settings.…
The thought of health care is something that anyone would think is simple enough. The first thought of nursing is caring for the basic needs of mankind. Since, every human contains pretty much the same physical makeup the care of one and all has been perceived as being the same. The biased notion that patient care is not individualized but the same across the board is false due to the diversity in our world. Cultural has become another aspect that affects patient care.…
Children are active, curious beings and as they develop and grow they find ways to become more active through recreational activities and sports. Through the years, the intensity and aggression within sports have increased, leading to more recreational and sports related injuries. During the last ten years, emergency department visits for concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries in children and adolescents have increased (Graham et al., 2013). This increase has led to approximately 144,000 or more visits, made by children and adolescents, to the emergency department annually (Meehan & Mannix, 2010). In addition, post-concussion recovery is poorly understood and children and adolescents may be more vulnerable to concussion effects and…
