Brief History of Inclusion of Content on Culture in Nursing Education
Nursing has a long history of focusing on the cultural dimension of care, dating back to Florence Nightingale and the early days of public health nursing. Nursing education studies advocated for including social science concepts in nursing curricula well before the founding of the first university school of nursing in the United States in 1910. A brief review of the highlights of major nursing curriculum, licensing, funding, accreditation studies…
Current Approaches to Integrating Elements of Cultural Competence in Nursing Education
Cultural competence in nursing education is receiving renewed emphasis. Curricular input to incorporate such knowledge, attitudes, and skills encompasses a wide variety of teaching and learning methods. Five are described here: specialty focus, required courses, models, immersion experiences, and distance learning or simulation. Despite progress in incorporating cultural content into nursing curricula, several issues characterize all levels of nu…
Health-Culture Reorientation of Registered Nurse Students
There is a need for a health-culture reorientation of nurses from acute care to community-based care if the profession is to respond effectively to sociocultural, political, economic, and educational forces moving health care and decision making back into the community. Concepts from anthropology, international health, and transcultural nursing provided the basis for initiating a health-culture reorientation of acute care-oriented (RN-BSN) studen…
The Concept of Theme as Used in Qualitative Nursing Research
The concept of theme is critical to the accurate interpretation of qualitative data. A literature review of qualitative research methodology and nursing research studies reveals considerable diversity in the identification of themes, the interpretation of the concept, and its function in data analysis. Part of the problem is the transfer of research methods from other disciplines to the study of nursing phenomena. The transfer often results in a …

Building Healthy Communities with Immigrants and Refugees
Immigration fueled by large population shifts across international borders will be an ongoing phenomenon throughout the world for the foreseeable future. Forces raising concern for the development of healthy immigrant communities in the United States are the scapegoating of immigrants as the cause of many of the problems of society, a growing lack of tolerance for diversity, and the need for rapid acculturation. A construct of what constitutes he…
Feeding and Weaning Practices of Cuban and Haitian Immigrant Mothers
The decline of breast feeding among immigrant mothers is of concern to transcultural nurses and other health care professionals. A descriptive survey of 30 Cuban and 30 Haitian immigrant mothers in South Florida explored their feeding and weaning beliefs and practices. Findings revealed that social, economic, and political factors in their country of origin and in South Florida affected their traditional health-culture beliefs and practices relat…
Counterparts
Most international development agencies rely on the counterpart concept to achieve the transfer of knowledge between experts necessary to establish, maintain, and expand development programs. Achievement of that transfer of knowledge requires that those in the counterpart relationship continually renegotiate their roles, relationships, statuses, and functions as the program is planned, implemented, and evaluated. Most discussions of counterparts …
Adolescent Sibling Bereavement
A taxonomy of the adolescent sibling bereavement process was developed from the responses of 157 bereaved adolescents to the question "If you could ask or tell your dead sibling something, what would it be?" The taxonomy had six mutually exclusive categories: regretting, endeavoring to understand, catching up, reaffirming, influencing, and reuniting. Pervasive throughout the taxonomy was the theme of "ongoing attachment"; that is, the emotional a…

The Immigrant Haitian Mother
Thirty immigrant Haitian mothers in Southeast Florida were interviewed regarding their beliefs and practices about preventive health care (illness prevention and health maintenance measures) for infants and preschool children (up to age 5). All mothers used preventive health care measures from both the Western biomedical and traditional Haitian ethnomedical (folk) systems. Ninety-seven percent used magico-religious measures; 47% administered home…
Health care orientations of Cuban and Haitian immigrant mothers
In the mid 1980s health professionals interviewed Cuban and Haitian women in the Miami-Dade Florida area Florida to determine child rearing beliefs and practices and concepts of illnesses affecting their children <5 years old. Differences in health care orientations and actions existed between the Cuban and haitian mothers probably due to the interaction of these variables: educational and health care systems of the countries; political and socio…
University of Miami Transcultural Nursing Research Institute
The University of Miami Transcultural Nursing Research Institute was established just three years ago by a charitable trust from the William R. Ryan estate. Created to promote the art and science of nursing through culturally focused research, the Institute is a logical outgrowth of the School of Nursing curriculum which emphasizes culture as its organizing framework, from undergraduate education through Master's specialization and into the Ph.D.…
