Abstract:
For many pediatric nurses, providing culturally sensitive care among children of diverse backgrounds is frustrating and time-consuming because elements of cultural care theory were not assimilated into their educational programs. Using a transcultural model developed by Giger and Davidhizar (1995), pediatric nurses can now integrate a holistic and efficient assessment into the child's treatment plan. Essential health beliefs and practices are synthesized into the model's six components to assist the pediatric nurse in providing culturally appropriate care.
