The author looks at Australia's multicultural society and identifies the failure of the nursing profession to provide nursing services that meet the commitment of Australia to preserve the cultural backgrounds and meet the needs of the people nurses serve. The author suggests ways in which this problem can be addressed. It is argued that there is a need to ensure that transcultural nursing services are recognized and made accessible to people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Nurses need educational preparation to provide them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential to work with people from different cultures. Moreover, the cultural profile of the nursing profession should approximate those served. Nurses today must recognize these critical needs and be committed to provide transcultural nursing care that is so essential in Australia's multicultural society.
作者审视了澳大利亚的多元文化社会，指出护理行业未能提供符合澳大利亚承诺的护理服务，即维护文化背景并满足护士所服务人群的需求。作者提出了应对这一问题的方法。有人认为，有必要确保跨文化护理服务得到认可，并让来自不同文化背景的人能够获得。护士需要接受教育培训，以便具备与来自不同文化的人共事所需的知识、技能和态度。此外，护理行业的文化构成应与所服务人群的文化构成相近。如今的护士必须认识到这些关键需求，并致力于提供在澳大利亚多元文化社会中至关重要的跨文化护理服务。
