NURSING Issues and Trends

Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care Seventh Edition By Margaret M. Andrews, PhD, RN, CTN-A, FAAN , Director and Professor of Nursing, School of Health Professions and Studies, Uni- versity of Michigan—Flint, Flint, MI and Joyceen S. Boyle, PhD, RN, MPH, FAAN , Adjunct Professor of Nursing, College of Nursing, Uni- versity of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; Adjunct Professor of Nursing, College of Nursing, Georgia Regents University, Augusta, GA DESCRIPTION Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care  helps nursing stu- dents transform their thinking so they develop into culturally competent nurses capable of safe, thoughtful, and ethical care of individuals, families, groups, and communities of diverse

backgrounds. Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care takes a life span approach to describe cultural variations in lifestyle, habits, beliefs, and life process; and in doing so, provides a framework that will improve health and nursing care to minority, underrepresented, disenfranchised, and margin- alized populations. Rather than just covering specific cultures and expected behaviors/beliefs of that culture, the authors provide students the tools they will need as nurses to effectively perform cultural assessments and incorporate their findings into their interventions. With more culture spe- cific examples in this edition, the text offers the knowledge needed to provide culturally competent and contextually meaningful care for all clients.  Fully updated in its seventh edition, this unique resource creates an interdisciplinary knowledge foundation reflecting the cultural changes in the clinical nursing environment. The Transcultural Interprofessional Practice (TIP) Model, new to this edition, emphasizes the need for effective communication, efficient, client- and patient-centered teamwork, and collaboration among members of the interprofessional health care team. The TIP Model has a theoretical founda- tion in transcultural nursing that fosters communication and collaboration between and among all members of the team and enables multiple team members to manage complex, frequently multifac- eted transcultural care issues, moral and ethical dilemmas, challenges, and care-related problems in a collegial, respectful, synergistic manner.
