Abstract

The diagnostic model proposed in this article seeks to connect the taxonomic systems of the North American Diagnosis Association (NANDA) and the American Nurses Association (ANA). Pictured as an actual tree, the NANDA taxonomic labels are the roots; the ANA psychiatricmental health taxa, the supporting branches; the fruit, the NANDA diagnostic labels. A patient case vignette illustrates how the paradigm may be used as a clinical and research tool to validate each taxonomy, with the goal of creating a unified classification system for nursing phenomena.

Practical strategies for providing culturally sensitive, ethical care in developing nations.

Providing health care in developing nations results in cultural and ethical challenges for health care professionals. The authors' intent is to raise readers' awareness of how to maintain an ethical and culturally sensitive approach to practice in developing nations. Four practical approaches to ethical decision-making, developed from the literature and praxis, in conjunction with traditional moral theory and guidelines from professional and international organizations are discussed. Ethical multiculturalism, a view that combines universalism and multiculturalism undergirds culturally appropriate and ethically responsive decisions.

Brief history of inclusion of content on culture in nursing education.

Nursing has a long history of focusing on the cultural dimension of care, dating back to Florence Nightingale and the early days of public health nursing. Nursing education studies advocated for including social science concepts in nursing curricula well before the founding of the first university school of nursing in the United States in 1910. A brief review of the highlights of major nursing curriculum, licensing, funding, accreditation studies, and initiatives reveals that culture competence in nursing education continues to receive increasing emphasis and support.
