Madeleine Leineger
Madeleine Leininger's place of birth was Sutton, Nebraska. She earned her Ph.D. in social and cultural anthropology in 1965, from Washington University, Seattle. In her initial years of working, she was a nurse. This was where she gained insight on how important it is to care. Frequent appreciative statements from care patients inspired her to center her attention on care; she realized that 'caring' is a fundamental part of nursing. In the 50s, she worked in a guidance home for children. Madeline discovered that the recurrent habits among children seemed to have been inspired by culture. She stated that nurses had no knowledge about care and culture, and this led to their ignorance on the numerous components needed in caring for patients to support healing, wellness and compliance. This knowledge led to the introduction of transcultural nursing; a phenomenon and construct based on nursing care, in the 50s. Madeline began the movement for transcultural nursing in education practice and research (Kathleen Sitzman MS & Dr. Lisa Wright Eichelberger).
2. Short Biography
The theory of Transcultural Nursing was initially stated in Madeline's 'Culture Care Universality and Diversity', which was then published in the year 1991. The theory, however, has its origin back in the 50s. The theory-related study, as well as how the theory is applied is explained in edition 3 of the theory, which was published in the year 2002. The theory was meant to support provision of care with regard to the patients' cultural values, practices and beliefs. Later, in the 60s, Madeline came up with the phrase 'culturally congruent patient care', which she said is the main aim of the transcultural practice of nursing. The practice deals with the cultural changes that affect the relationship between nurses and their clients. Since the practice was centered exclusively on this component of nursing, there was need for another theory to look into and explain the results of this kind of patient care. Madeline creatively came up with another theory, the 'Culture Care Theory: Universality and Diversity'; which was aimed at giving culturally congruent overall care (Kathleen Sitzman MS & Dr. Lisa Wright Eichelberger).
3. Categorizing the Theory (Mcewen & Wills classification)
From the classification by Willis and Mcewen, the theory of Transcultural Nursing is in the Middle level. Middle range types of theories are those from nursing models to the more concrete, circumscribed notions (practice theories). These kinds of theories are significantly specific, and they include a few concepts...

Course Objectives: Transcultural NursingAccording to Andrews & Boyle (2012), the concept of transcultural nursing theory (TCN) has evolved in recent years to reference more broader concepts of culturally sensitive and culturally astute nursing. The world has grown more diverse, and healthcare must reflect this diversity. The core philosophy behind transcultural nursing is that for the nursing process and healthcare treatment in general to be effective, it must address the patient�s
Transcultural nursing is important today because of the diversity of patients and wide range of cultures that they embody that nurses must provide holistic and individualized care for. Nurses that are culturally sensitive can better ensure that quality of care is given to patients and that patient satisfaction is high. This is the essence of the article by Maier-Lorentz & Madeline (2008), which states because there are so many different

Introduction Cultural competency is currently taken for granted in nursing theory and practice. However, cultural competency was not always normative. Madeline Leininger was the first nursing theorist, practitioner, and scholar to distinguish transcultural nursing as a unique means of providing top quality of care. The underlying principle of transcultural nursing, also known as ethnonursing, is applying anthropological and sociological principles to nursing practice. Contemporary nursing practice is culturally competent at its
Tucker-Culturally Sensitive Health Care Provider Inventory -- Patient Form (T-CSHCPI-PF) is simply an inventory for the culturally diverse patients to assess provider cultural sensitivity in the health care procedure.
