A patient from a different culture than the nurse is experiencing pain. For which conceptual model should the nurse ask the patient to identify a treatment and potential benefits from the treatment?
1. Leininger's Sunrise Enabler Model
2. Leininger's transcultural nursing theory
3. Campinha-Bacote's conceptual framework
4. Giger and Davidhizar's Transcultural Assessment Model
3. Campinha-Bacote's conceptual framework
Explanation:
Campinha-Bacote emphasizes that cultural competence is a process rather than an endpoint and requires five elements: awareness, knowledge, skill, encounters, and desire. Asking the patient what kind of treatment the patient thinks would be helpful and what the patient hopes to experience from treatment incorporates Campinha-Bacote's idea of cultural awareness. Leininger's Sunrise Enabler Model depicts the interrelationships among worldview; the dimensions of cultural and social structures; and the influences on care expressions, patterns and practices, and holistic health/illness/death within the contexts of folk care, nursing care, and general professional care. Leininger's transcultural nursing theory defines a caring practice as one that helps individuals achieve health. Giger and Davidhizar's Transcultural Assessment Model specifies six dimensions of culture that are essential in nursing assessment, with an underlying assumption that every patient is culturally unique.
