Something to Think About:
On a 1-10 scale (1=not so important & 10=critically important) what number would quantify the import of using Transcultural Care Models as a framework in planning, implementing and evaluating nursing care delivery for the community? Do you think there is a positive relationship between delivering “culturally competent” care and “effective” nursing care delivery–That is, the more culturally competent the care, the more effective the nursing intervention, as measured by the clients (community) outcome?
