Six cultural phenomena suggested by Poole, Davidhizar, and Giger that should also be considered
when delegating to a culturally diverse nursing staff are social organization, time, space,
environmental control (locus of control), biological variations, and communication. All of these factors
can impact how staff organize and perform their tasks. While traditional barriers, cultural expectations,
and norms are also important factors to be considered when working with culturally diverse staff and
patients, they are not described by Poole et al. as being as critical as those mentioned above.
