SO WHAT IS THE REASON WHY WE
CHOOSE HER AS OUR THEORIST?
We choose Madeleine Leininger as our theorist
because we are fascinated by her theory because
we should also consider the culture and beliefs of
the patient . As a future nurses we should also
know the background of the patients for us to give
them a proper care and especially when we go to
other country to work, we need to first learn their
culture for us to avoid mistake or disrespect their
culture because it can affect our work
 MAIN POINT OF HER THEORY
The Transcultural Nursing Theory or Culture Care Theory by Madeleine Leininger
involves knowing and understanding different cultures concerning nursing and health-
illness caring practices, beliefs, and values to provide meaningful and efficacious
nursing care services to people’s cultural values health-illness context.

It focuses on the fact that different cultures have different caring behaviors and
different health and illness values, beliefs, and patterns of behaviors.

The cultural care worldview flows into knowledge about individuals, families, groups,
communities, and institutions in diverse health care systems. This knowledge provides
culturally specific meanings and expressions about care and health. The next focus is
on the generic or folk system, professional care system(s), and nursing care.
Information about these systems includes the characteristics and the specific care
features of each. This information allows for the identification of similarities and
differences or cultural care universality and cultural care diversity.
