Ethiopian culture
Theory of culture care diversity and universality
Benefits of practicing in a multicultural city such as Miami, FL:
The benefit of working in a multicultural city such as Miami FL is the privilege to carry the legacy of Leininger (1988) on culture care theory (CCT). There is a chance to provide culturally congruent nursing, based on culturally based care acts, their understanding, and decision making, which is done in a sensitive and skilled way. Their practice is not against the cultural values, beliefs, and way of life of the clients. It is also important for their well-being or to deter the cause of sickness, disability, or death of diverse cultures.
Diagram documenting ways in which CCT and its application to clinical and/or advanced nursing practice:
Ethiopian culture as the overriding factor for Ethiopians living in mid-Atlantic U.S.A
Kinship and social factors: consideration of family as important care factor and value of freedom (culture maintained)
Religious factors: importance of prayer and religion recognized (culture maintained)
Cultural values and life ways: such as dietary practices and preferred language of communication asked (culture negotiated)
Technology factors: In exchange participants valued technology and healthcare (culture repatterned)
Overall wellbeing of the patient and care givers
-Unavailability of interpreters, lack of care by nurses
CULTURE CARE APPLIED
NO CULTURE CARE APPLIED
According to Chiatti (2018) scholarly article in a study to identify and describe Ethiopian immigrants culture care and beliefs in mid-Atlantic U.S.A which is primarily based on the advancing trans-cultural nursing. The study incorporated the Leiningers enabler model by including the culture preservation of heritage since culture is the overriding factor in the model. It also considers supporting friends and family as an important factor in the care and value of freedom. Cultural caring importance of prayer and religion and communication that is therapeutic was also factored in as a cultural and social dimension. The study participants valued technology and healthcare. They appreciated the efforts for being asked about their cultural food and dietary practices, the language of communication preference, and family dynamics. Access to care was however affected by perceived unavailability of interpreters in health facilities and lack of care by nurses showing the importance of synergy in generic and folk care, nursing care, and professional care cure practices.
