The argument that nurses need to consider the different ethnic and cultural backgrounds of their patients, in order to provide effective and safe nursing care, is presented. The concept of culture is then discussed in order to provide the conceptual context for examining transcultural nursing which is described as nursing practice that accounts for patients' cultural difference. This paper also explores how transcultural nursing is the means for nurses to enable their patients to improve or sustain their health as both nurses and patients struggle with the contradictions of racism, oppression and 'caring' that co-exist in a multicultural society.
有人提出，护士需要考虑患者不同的种族和文化背景，以便提供有效且安全的护理。接着讨论了文化的概念，为审视跨文化护理提供概念背景，跨文化护理被描述为考虑患者文化差异的护理实践。本文还探讨了在多元文化社会中，护士和患者都在与种族主义、压迫和“关怀”的矛盾作斗争时，跨文化护理如何成为护士帮助患者改善或维持健康的手段。
