Cultural diversity exists among all humans, and nurses and patients are no exception to this general phenomenon. The cultural backgrounds of individual nurses and patients are composed of learned norms, values, customs, and beliefs. If nurses are to be as effective as they might in providing holistic nursing care to patients of culturally diverse backgrounds, their technical expertise must be complemented by knowledge of and respect for the various cultures. This is particularly true in situations where nurses are from cultural and ethnic backgrounds different from the patients for whom they are caring. The development of a conceptual model for multicultural nursing practice, based on King's Theory of Goal Attainment, provides direction for both practice and research in nursing and is an essential initial step toward better preparing nurses to provide holistic care in a global society.
所有人都存在文化多样性，护士和患者也不例外。个体护士和患者的文化背景由习得的规范、价值观、习俗和信仰组成。如果护士想要在为文化背景各异的患者提供整体护理时尽可能高效，他们的专业技术必须辅以对各种文化的了解和尊重。当护士与他们所护理的患者文化和种族背景不同时，情况尤其如此。基于金氏目标达成理论构建多元文化护理实践概念模型，为护理实践和研究提供了方向，是朝着更好地让护士在全球社会提供整体护理迈出的关键第一步。
