Mention and discuss what cultural concepts will you use to provide nursing care to families, communities and, aggregates.

Understanding the culture and values of a particular family can inform how you approach certain topics such as health education, or even how to communicate with household members. It is important, when treating populations and aggregates of people, to be aware that there are differences in cultures on issues such as the perceptions or gender roles about medical treatment.

Nurses can provide holistic care to patients by taking different cultural concepts into account when they are providing their services. This will allow them to avoid preconceived notions and stereotypes, while also ensuring that the treatment is tailored according to each patient’s needs. Additionally by developing an understanding of various cultures’ views towards healthcare providers and services they will be able to better relate to individuals from diverse backgrounds while also providing more effective care due overall increased awareness about how culture can influence healthcare delivery practices.
