In today's highly mobile and transnational healthcare world, attention to the cultural background of orthopaedic patients is no longer a luxury when implementing care. Nurses can overcome cultural blindness by developing an awareness of their own cultural backgrounds and an understanding about nursing values as an expression of cultural norms of the discipline. Developing cultural sensitivity without stereotyping patients is a challenge to the professionalism of the nurse. However, assessment and care of orthopaedic patients can be enhanced by attention to aspects of both the nurse's and the patient's cultural backgrounds. Such analysis can lead to some depth of understanding of the patient and a genuine desire of the nurse to interact with the patient.
在当今医疗高度流动和跨国化的世界中，在实施护理时关注骨科患者的文化背景已不再是一种奢求。护士可以通过认识自身文化背景并理解护理价值观（作为该学科文化规范的一种体现）来克服文化盲点。在不将患者刻板化的情况下培养文化敏感性，这对护士的专业素养是一项挑战。然而，关注护士和患者双方文化背景的各个方面，能够加强对骨科患者的评估和护理。这样的分析可以加深对患者的理解，并使护士产生与患者互动的真诚愿望。
