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.
