By 2050, for the first time in U.S. history, almost half of elders will be from ethnic minority groups. To meet the needs of this rapidly diversifying population, nurses need to be able to marry transcultural nursing knowledge with gerontological nursing knowledge. The purpose of this article is to propose a new theoretical model for explaining health outcomes and health responses for older individuals in unique ethno-cultural groups and to discuss implications and applications of the model to transcultural gerontological nursing practice and research. The discussion will include (1) an overview of currently available theoretical knowledge in the area, (2) a description of the theory development process, (3) presentation of the proposed ethno-cultural gerontological nursing theoretical model, and (4) discussion of how this model can enhance nursing's contributions to reducing health disparities. This model is presented not as a finished product but as a basis for future discussion and refinement.
到2050年，美国历史上首次将有近一半的老年人来自少数族裔群体。为满足这一迅速多样化群体的需求，护士需要能够将跨文化护理知识与老年护理知识相结合。本文的目的是提出一种新的理论模型，用以解释独特种族文化群体中老年人的健康结果和健康反应，并讨论该模型在跨文化老年护理实践和研究中的意义及应用。讨论内容将包括：（1）该领域现有理论知识概述；（2）理论发展过程描述；（3）所提出的种族文化老年护理理论模型介绍；（4）探讨该模型如何增强护理工作在减少健康差距方面的作用。此模型并非作为一个成品呈现，而是作为未来讨论和完善的基础。
