USE THIS THEORY *****

Leininger’s Cultural Care Diversity Theory

The purpose of Leininger’s theory is to enhance knowledge related to the uniqueness of nursing care of each patient as well as to value the cultural heritage of human care. Major components of the model are culture, culture care, and culture-care similarities and differences pertaining to transcultural human care. Other major components are care and caring, emic view (language expressions), etic view (beliefs and practices), professional system of healthcare, and culturally congruent nursing care (McEwen & Wills, 2014). 

Leinenger’s theory includes elements of care as a major part of cultural competence. Health professionals are charged with the following actions to enhance culturally competent care:

• Preservation and maintenance: helping patients and families to preserve values important to their health
• Accommodations and negotiation: helping patients and families interact with other health professionals in order to preserve or improve health
• Repatterning and restructuring: helping patients, families, and communities with lifestyle and behavioral changes to improve health outcomes
