and health outcomes. Leiningers Transcultural Nursing Theory or Culture Care Diversity
and Universality focused on the concept of culture in providing nursing care to our
patients. It aids the nurse to be culture sensitive. Nurses should be conscious on different
culture that necessitates them to respond to the needs of the patient who has different
cultural values.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Our program proposal will employ the theory of Cultural Care Diversity and
Universality by Madeleine M. Leininger. This theory attempts to provide culturally
congruent nursing care through cognitively based assistive, supportive, facilitative, or
enabling acts or decisions that are mostly tailor-made to fit with individual, groups, or
institution's cultural values, beliefs, and life ways. Dr. Leininger believed and identified
that culture and care as a major dimensions missing in nursing and health care services
(Leininger, 1978, 1995) and in order to address this problem, one of the major features of
this theory as a central contributing theory to advance transcultural nursing knowledge
and to use the findings in teaching, research, practice, and consultation (Mixer, 2011).
This theory focuses to develop new practices for nursing practice to congregate diverse
cultural needs and to offer therapeutic care with comprehensive and holistic care
practices in a caring discipline. Holistic and broad worldviews respecting the sacredness
and uniqueness of humans and their culturally based values are imperative. Also in this
theory, nursing was defined as a learned humanistic and scientific profession and
discipline which is focused on human care phenomena and activities in order to assist,
support, facilitate, or enable individuals or groups to maintain or regain their well-being

(or health) in culturally meaningful and beneficial ways, or to help people face handicaps
or death (Gonzalo, 2011).
LITERATURE REVIEW
The theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality has become a major caring
theory with a unique emphasis on nursing as a means to know and help cultures. It has
also been utilized by plenty of researches that proved that this theory must be given an
attention. A study by (Mixer, et.al, 2015) stated that staff nurses identified specific
clinical challenges they faced in providing such care for patients from a certain cultures
and the results revealed five care factors that participants identified as most valuable:
family, faith, communication, care integration, and meeting basic needs. These themes
were used to develop nursing actions that, when applied in daily practice, could facilitate
the provision of culturally congruent care for these children and their families. The
knowledge generated by this study also has an effect with healthcare organizations,
nursing educators, and academicpractice partnerships that seek to ensure the delivery of
equitable care for all patients. Another study by (Bhat, A. M., et. al., 2015) supports the
principle that cultural competence in health care improves care delivery and patient
outcomes and the studys outcome was the nurses had increased their cultural awareness,
sensitivity, and cultural assessment documentation after they used the Web-based
education and show how this format can translate cultural competency knowledge into
nursing practice. Providing this education is an important component in creating an
environment that provides culturally congruent palliative care. According to (Rew, L., et.
Al, 2014) students who had taken courses on cultural diversity or global health generally
outscored those who had not taken such courses.
PROGRAM PROPOSAL
The main focus of their study was to reanalyze the CAS (Cultural Awareness
Scale) to determine construct validity and differences in cultural awareness among
students of varying educational levels and experiences. The sample consisted of 150
nursing students (92% female, 33.6% racial minorities). Confirmatory factor analysis
yielded three factors (CFI = 0.868, TLI = 0.854, RMSEA = 0.065, and SRMR = 0.086).
Cronbachs alpha ranged from 0.70 to 0.89. It just only means that there were significant
differences among educational levels, with lower division BSN students generally
scoring higher than upper division and Masters of Science in nursing students.
All these articles still fall to what Leininger holds: that culture is the broadest,
most comprehensive, holistic and universal feature of human beings and care is predicted
to be embedded in culture. Both need to be understood to discover clients care needs.
Caring is held as the action mode to help people of multiple cultures while care is the
phenomenon to be understood and to guide actions and decisions. Culture and care
together are anticipated to be powerful theoretical constructs vital to human health,
wellbeing, and survival.
Objectives
The goals of this program:
1. To educate nurses on different kinds of culture, traditions and practices to attain
intercultural communication and appropriate culture-sensitive care.
2. To make nurses understand the importance of using both generic and professional
knowledge and ways to fit such diverse ideas into nursing care actions and goals.
PROGRAM PROPOSAL
3. To discover new practices for nursing to meet diverse culture needs and to
provide therapeutic care with comprehensive and holistic cares practices in a
caring discipline.
4. To remind the nurses that every patient is a unique individual and inculcate the
essence of nursing which is to care regardless of the diversities.
Program Description
This workshop is an annual, two-day activity, which discusses the common
cultures, beliefs and practices of the most common foreign patients seeking health needs
here in the Philippines. This workshop aims to educate the nurses on how to deal with the
different cultures, and help them to be able to deliver cultural-congruent care that can
enhance nursing care. The guest speakers will be Filipino nurses who have experienced
working on the United States, China, Japan and India. They will share what they have
observed and learned to our fellow nurses through a workshop, interactive discussion and
sharing. The last part of the program will involve an application of what they have
learned from the two-day workshop, participants will be divided into four countries as
discussed, and they will have a presentation showing the different situations if they
handled a foreign patient from US, China, Japan and India. They will be critiqued by the
guest speakers and give them important points that they can use in actual patients in the
future. This workshop will tackle the Cultural Care Diversity and Universality by
Madeleine M. Leininger, seeking further knowledge on it and how it better applies to our
profession will enhance nursess awareness of themselves and to become more globally
competitive.

speakers will be able to provide essential information about the theory of Cultural Care
Diversity and Universality that will help nurses to deliver effective and efficient nursing
to foreign patients. They will also share their experiences when handling patients in the
country that they are working wherein nurses in the Philippines will be able to learn the
knowledge, methods and skills needed in order to maintain trust, respect, dignity and
efficiency in handling foreign patients. This program will also help Filipino nurses on
