The development of a conceptual model for multicultural nursing.

Cultural diversity exists among all humans, and nurses and patients are no exception to this general phenomenon. The cultural backgrounds of individual nurses and patients are composed of learned norms, values, customs, and beliefs. If nurses are to be as effective as they might in providing holistic nursing care to patients of culturally diverse backgrounds, their technical expertise must be complemented by knowledge of and respect for the various cultures. This is particularly true in situations where nurses are from cultural and ethnic backgrounds different from the patients for whom they are caring. The development of a conceptual model for multicultural nursing practice, based on King's Theory of Goal Attainment, provides direction for both practice and research in nursing and is an essential initial step toward better preparing nurses to provide holistic care in a global society.

Factors related to successful goal attainment in case management.

Goal planning is fundamental to the case management process. Manager and client identify specific long-term goals and then systematically break them down into the incremental behaviors needed to be accomplished to achieve each goal. The goal-setting process may fail as a result of four types of factors: (1) behavioral, (2) cognitive, (3) affective, and (4) environmental. To decrease the likelihood of failure, case managers must be knowledgeable about goal planning. They must help the client set goals that are expressed positively, that are client focused, realistic and achievable, measurable, and easily understood, with one observable outcome per goal. For both case manager and client, setting and attaining goals must be viewed as part of a continuing learning process, rather than a success-failure dichotomy.

Hospitals must follow strategy to lead regional sharing efforts.

A hospital that wants to initiate or expand service sharing with other institutions in its service area must analyze and act on many considerations that affect the success of such relationships. For example, the hospital must identify its resources and goals for sharing as well as those of the other participants, eliminate personal and institutional 'ego needs' from the relationship, and promote effective interpersonal relationships among the key individuals from the participating institutions.
