¶ … Culture Care Universality and Diversity
Leininger conceptualized the theory of care was developed in the 1950s and provided a way to bridge a culture and nursing care. "Leininger theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality" (Garmon 2011 p 1) is derived from the understanding the fields of culture and anthropology and is credited for her contribution to the nursing theory by establishing the transcultural concept in the nursing care. Typically, culture care is a holistic method of understanding, interpreting, explaining, and predicting care for the nursing practice. According to Leininger, culturally congruent care had been missing in the nursing practice and knowledge. Thus, a creative process of reformulation and integration of cultural practice is very critical for the development of nursing practice and knowledge. Leininger holds that a cultural care provides the most important and broadest means to explain, study and predict the nursing care practice. To discover patterns, and meaning of care in the nursing practice, it is very critical to integrate the cultural congruent in the nursing care practice.
The objective of this paper is to explore the theory of culturally congruent and care diversity.
Concepts and Sub-Concepts of the Theory
Leininger's developed a theoretical framework based on her nursing experience where she realized that many disturbed children from diverse cultural backgrounds faced a challenge in receiving a quality healthcare because a limited research has been conducted on the method to integrate culture in caring in a health institution. According to Leininger, it was important for nursing professionals to appreciate and recognize a culture in healing, in healthcare treatment, and caring process. While theorists attempted to assist patients using psychoanalytic ideas and other mental ideas to assist patients after the World War II, however, the practice was woefully inadequate to assist children...
Nursing Practice The modern practice of nursing is a profession that requires a great deal of academic and clinical training. In that sense, nursing has become a much more complex profession than it ever was before, especially prior to the modern age of scientific medicine. Today, professional nurses must be educated in many advanced areas of science including the use of empirical data in evidence-based nursing practice. However, no matter
Community Nursing Practice Model For a long time, community nursing has been an issue of major concern to most health care sectors. Values are based on the model for providing grounding for the nursing practice. The transcendent values include caring, wholeness, and respect while explicating for the actualization of values for primary health care based on access, empowerment, essentiality, collaboration, community participation and inter-sectoral.

Nursing education has come a long way since my aunt was a practitioner. A Registered Nurse, my aunt worked in geriatric care for twenty years, and in psychiatric care for five years before that.

Malpractice in Advanced Nursing Practice A CLOSER LOOK Legal/Ethical Principles When nurses pursued independent practice outside hospitals, the law supported their bid to breach traditional roles (Kjervik & Brous, 2013). This phenomenon was described as a form of "growing militancy" that refused to stay under the dominion of medicine (Baer, 1993 as qtd in Kjervik and Brous). Ethics supported the accompanying empowerment of the militant act as in expressing autonomy in practice, beneficence
Introduction Lateral violence includes all acts of intimidation, humiliation bullying, unwarranted criticism and angry outbursts among other forms from a worker directed to another working (Clarke, 2014). In my current practice, most experienced nurses often feel superior to their inexperienced junior nurses. Therefore, they treat them with contempt as they feel they are more knowledgeable than them. For instance, one nurse may respond with an outburst on anyone enquiring of something
