LEININGER’S CULTURE CARE THEORY AS AMONG CULTURAL ASSESSMENT THEORIES
In cultural assessment frameworks or Cultural Assessment Theories, we have Leininger’s Culture Care Theory. Leininger’s Culture Care Theory attempts to provide culturally congruent nursing care through tailor-made supportive and facilitative acts or decisions. Leininger’s acts or decisions as one of the cultural assessment theories fit with an individual or group’s cultural values. Care intends to have beneficial health outcomes for people of different or similar cultural backgrounds. Leininger’s model has developed into a movement in nursing care called transcultural nursing. In 1995, Leininger defined transcultural nursing as a substantive study and practice focused on comparative cultural care. Leininger developed new terms for the basic concepts of her theory. Lastly, the concepts addressed in the model are caring, care, cultural care, and a culture assessment.
