Teaching transcultural nursing in Louisiana from the ground up: Strategies for heightening student awareness

Abstract

Because of a dearth of material in the literature regarding the process of teaching transcultural nursing, it was necessary to do an analysis of processes, or feasibility study while at the same time engaging in the process of teaching transcultural nursing. Findings from this analysis indicate that a number of strategies can be used to help nurses integrate culturally sensitive material, but that the most important of these may be experiential learning.
