UNIT THREE THEORITICAL BASES FOR TRANSCULTURAL Nursing CARE Giger & Davidhizar TRANSCULTURAL ASSESSMENT MODEL DR MAHMOUD MUSLEH

INTRODUCTION This model was developed in 1988 in response to the need for nursing students in an undergraduate program to assess and provide care for patients that were culturally diverse. According to Giger & Davidhizar, although all cultures are not the same, all cultures have the same basic organizational factors

The metaparadigm for the Giger & Davidhizar model includes: Transcultural nursing Culturally competent care Culturally unique individuals Culturally sensitive environments Health and health status

cultural phenomena Giger & Davidhizar have identified six cultural phenomena that vary among cultural groups and affect health care. These are: Communication Space Social organization Time orientation Environmental control Biological variations

These six phenomena serve to present the diversity that exists between cultural groups

Communication Communication is the means by which culture is transmitted and preserved Both verbal and nonverbal communications are learned in one’s culture Verbal and nonverbal patterns of communication vary across cultures

If nurses do not understand the client’s cultural rules in communication, the client’s acceptance of a treatment plan may be compromised. Accurate diagnosis and treatment is impossible if the health-care professional cannot understand the patient Not understanding the patient’s communication patterns will put the patient in a state of isolation from the health care team

Consequently, the patient experiences cultural shock and may react by withdrawing, becoming hostile or argumentative, or being uncooperative Culture not only determines the appropriateness of the message but also influences all the components of communication

An assessment of communication should consider the following: Dialect Style Volume, including silence Touch Context of speech or emotional tone Kinetics (including gestures, posture, and eye behaviour)

Examples Afghans can be expressive, warm, orientated to others, shy and modest. Male- to-male communication is permissive whereas female-to-male communication is contraindicated unless with the husband, son, or father of the women involved

Asians consider it disrespectful to look someone directly in the eye, especially if that person is a nurse, not because of disinterest or dishonesty. An Asian patient may avoid eye contact out of respect for the superior status of the nurse

Many Middle Easterners see direct eye contact between a man and a woman as an invitation for love or sex

Knowing what the norm within the culture will facilitate understanding and lessen miscommunication

Space Space refers to the distance between individuals when they interact All communication occurs in the context of space

There are four distinct zones of interpersonal space: Intimate distance (zone) (extends from 0 to 1 ½ feet) Personal distance (extends from 1 ½ to 4 feet) Social distance (extends from 4 to 12 feet) Public distance (extends 12 feet or more)

Rules concerning personal distance vary from culture to culture For instance, some Afghans prefer closeness in space with others and particularly with the same sex. When comfortable with others, these individuals prefer to be in close proximity to build trusting relationships

Particularly the comfort level is related to personal space - comfort in conversation, proximity to others, body movement, perception of space Eye contact, space, and touch practices may be very different from one’s sphere of reference

Social organization The social environment in which people grow up and live plays an essential role in their cultural development and identification Children learn their culture’s responses to life events from the family and its ethno-religious group This socialization process is an inherent part of heritage-cultural, religious, and ethnic background

Social organization refers to the social group organizations with which clients and families may identify Family structure and organization, religious values and beliefs and role assignments may all relate to ethnicity and culture Many social barriers, such as unemployment, underemployment, homelessness, lack of health insurance, and poverty can also prevent people from entering the health-care system

For example, in the African-American culture, family may include individuals who are unrelated or remotely related Members of families depend on the extended family and kinship networks for emotional and financial support in times of crises Mothers and grandmothers play significant roles in African-American households and should be included in health care decisions

Time Orientation Time is an important aspect of interpersonal communication Some cultures are considered future oriented, others present oriented, and still others past oriented People who are future-oriented are concerned with long-range goals and with health-care measures in the present to prevent the occurrence of illness in the future

They prefer to plan in making schedules, setting appointments, and organizing activities Others are oriented more to the present than the future and may be late for appointments because they are less concerned about planning to be on time These differences in time orientation may become important in health-care measures such as long- term planning and explanations of medication schedules

For instance, most Afghans are more past and present than future time oriented, but generally they tend to follow two different time concepts Another example is that Latin Americans, Native Americans, and Middle Easterners are present oriented cultures and may neglect preventive health care measures hey may show-up late or not at all for appointments United States and Canada tend to be future oriented

Environmental control Environmental control refers to the ability of the person to control nature and to plan and direct factors in the environment Some groups perceive man as having mastery over nature; others perceive humans to be dominated by nature, while others see harmonious relationships between humans and nature

This particular cultural phenomenon plays an extremely important role in the way patients respond to health-related experiences, including the ways in which they define an illness and seek and use health-care resources and social supports For example, Asians and Native Americans may perceive that illness is a disharmony with other forces and that medicine is only capable of relieving the symptoms rather than curing the disease

These groups are likely to look for naturalistic solutions, such as herbs and hot and cold treatments to resolve or cure a cancerous condition

Biological variations Biological variations are: Body structure Skin colour Other visible physical characteristics Enzymatic and genetic variations Elelectrocardiographic patterns Susceptibility to disease Nutritional preferences and deficiencies Psychological characteristics

For instance, Western-born neonates are slightly heavier at birth than those born in non- Western cultures

Application of the Model The Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model provides a process for assessing clients from differing cultures in order to be aware of differences and to plan appropriate strategies It was used to identify cultural beliefs from the six cultural phenomena previously described by Giger and Davidhizar

This Model, which also included interview questions and observational guidelines, was used for structural interviews The model can enable the nurse in assessing individuals who are culturally diverse in order to provide culturally competent care

It is broad enough in scope to be applied by other health-care professions such as medical imaging (professions of radiography, nuclear medicine, and ultrasonography), dentistry, education and hospital administration
