The nursing profession has begun to see the necessity of considering an individual's cultural belief system when providing nursing care. Leininger (1978), the founder of transcultural nursing, takes a strong position that "...a nurse should not be viewed as professional until she can effectively work with people in at least a bicultural setting, and the professional nurse should be prepared to respond effectively to people in our pluralistic world as an essential criterion of being professional" (pg. 141). To intervene effectively with the parent-child subsystem, the nurse must take into consideration the parental figure's belief system and cultural values. These cultural values give parents a sense of direction as well as meaning to their life. If nurses fail to respect and incorporate these values into nursing care, their ability to effectively help these parent-child subsystems is impaired and can limit this subsystem's progress toward their own culturally defined health state (Leininger, 1978). The purpose of the article is to provide nurses with a framework that can be used when interacting with families from diverse cultural backgrounds concerning the issue of discipline. This article emphasizes the need to incorporate a culturological assessment when implementing nursing interventions.
护理行业已开始认识到，在提供护理服务时考虑个人的文化信仰体系很有必要。跨文化护理的创始人莱宁格（1978年）坚定地认为：“……一名护士，除非她能够至少在双文化环境中有效地与他人合作，否则不应被视为专业护士。专业护士应做好准备，在我们这个多元化的世界中有效地回应他人，这是作为专业人员的一项基本标准”（第141页）。为了有效地干预亲子子系统，护士必须考虑父母的信仰体系和文化价值观。这些文化价值观为父母提供了生活的方向感和意义。如果护士不尊重这些价值观并将其纳入护理服务中，他们有效帮助这些亲子子系统的能力就会受损，可能会限制这个子系统朝着其自身文化定义的健康状态发展（莱宁格，1978年）。本文的目的是为护士提供一个框架，在与来自不同文化背景的家庭就纪律问题进行互动时可以使用。本文强调在实施护理干预时纳入文化学评估的必要性。
