Poole, Davidhizar, and Giger (1995) noted several cultural phenomena to be considered when working with culturally diverse staff. They are:
a. communication, space, social organization, time, environmental control, biological variations, cultural expectations, and traditional barriers
b. space, social organization, biological variations, communication, environmental factors, and cultural norms
c. biological variations, traditional barriers, time, environmental control, space, communication, and social organization
d. social organization, time, space, environmental control, biological variations, and communication
D
Six cultural phenomena suggested by Poole, Davidhizar, and Giger (1995) that should be considered when delegating tasks to culturally diverse nursing staff are: 1) social organization, 2) time, 3) space, 4) environmental control (locus of control), 5) biological variations, and 6) communication. All of these factors can impact how staff organize and perform their tasks. While traditional barriers and cultural expectations and norms are also important factors to be considered, they are not described by Poole et al. (1995) as being as critical as the six noted above.
