Failure of nurses and other health care providers to recognize the influence of culture on child development may lead to inappropriate expectations and mislabeling of children as developmentally slow. The effect of cultural influences on parental expectations of children was evident in a study of child-rearing beliefs of 30 Cuban and 30 Haitian immigrant mothers in South Florida. Both Cuban and Haitian children would be considered lagging developmentally when compared with measurements on the personal-social dimension of the Denver II and expectations of American society. Culture-specific implications for transcultural nursing care based on the concept of culture brokerage are discussed.
护士及其他医疗保健人员若未能认识到文化对儿童发育的影响，可能会导致期望不当，并将儿童误贴上发育迟缓的标签。文化影响对父母对孩子的期望所产生的作用，在一项针对南佛罗里达州30名古巴和30名海地移民母亲的育儿观念研究中十分明显。与丹佛发育筛查测验第二版（Denver II）个人 - 社会维度的测量结果以及美国社会的期望相比，古巴和海地儿童都会被认为在发育上滞后。本文还讨论了基于文化中介概念的跨文化护理的特定文化内涵。
