Heritage assessment offers an affirmative holistic structure for measurement and provision for racially proficient care. Health tradition evaluation form visualizes health as “the state of equilibrium inside the body, mind, and spirit, and with the family, community, and the powers of the natural world (Spector, 2004b). It helps nurses detect one’s classification with hereditary traditions. At first, nurses need to understand their own beliefs in order to respect each individual’s wishes to facilitate communication that can lead to healing process. Nurses intermingle with people from diverse branch of the world with a mixture of civilizing practices, so cultural alertness seems essential in creating a patient-nurse relationship during the interview phase of the health assessment, initial step of the nursing process.
Several nursing theories focus on quality of life in or as part of their nursing theories – Roger’s, King, Peplau, Leininger, and Parse (Plummer & Molzahn, 2009). Margaret Newman, Rosemarie Parse, and Jean Watson’s theories all deal with the concept of transcendence. Rogers’, Newman, Watson, and Parse’s theories share common themes and perspectives related to their philosophical views in the development of their theories (Sarter, 1988). Watson’s Theory of Human Caring and Boykin & Schoenhofer’s Theory of Nursing as Caring both view nursing as a discipline and a profession. Both theories view caring as an experience lived moment to moment.
In health promotion, it’s the duty of a nurse to be culturally competent, in order to make the best decision to provide quality patient’s care, even though the nurses’ cultural belief might be different. Heritage assessment will aid the nurse to identify and understand a patient’s cultural back ground and how it influences the patient’s health. In this paper, Hispanic, Philippines and African cultures were assessed. Starting with the writer, the writer is from Nigeria in West Africa, she hails from the eastern part of Nigeria of the Igbo tribe and speaks Igbo language. The writer comes from a
1.2/1.3 vvv Person-centred care values must influence all aspects of health and social care work. Health and social care should be based on person-centred values, and should be individualised as this is a law requirement (Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social care Act 2012, Codes of practice for Social Care Workers, etc). If person-centre values that underpin all work in the health and social care sector are followed as they should be then all individuals should feel that and health and social workers ensure that: • the individual is supported in accessing their rights • the individual
Emerging Standards of Care Glorybel Rodriguez NUR 531 December 9, 2013 Sylvia Ellington Emerging Standards of Care The impact of the changing demographics and the growing multicultural world has emphasized the importance of cultural competence for the delivery of quality care in this diverse society. Knowing and understanding the beliefs, values, practices, and customs of a culture is pivotal for nurses and health care providers. Beyond the race and ethnic classification that usually comes to mind when cultural diversity is discussed, other types of cultural diversity such as gender and organization affiliation warrants attention. In the Veteran’s Administration (VA) health system the unique veteran culture (specifically combat veteran) and the minority group of woman veterans present unique challenges as health disparities and special needs are evident within these groups. Cultural competence, the veteran culture, and minority female veterans will be discussed.

The Care Value Base The care value base is a code of practice for both employees and employers. Occupational standards and the GSCC code of practice identify a framework of values and moral rights of service users that can be referred to as care values or a value base for care. Diversity and Respect for differences : Diversity is about valuing people's differences and addressing their different needs and situations. Delivering on equality and diversity in the health service means that we are tackling barriers which might prevent some groups of people from accessing services. It also means that we are delivering services which meet the diverse needs of our patients, service users and carers.

Betty Neuman’s Systems Model A Look into Nursing Theories Syreeta Watkins, RN; Kim Thompson, RN; Devah Mateen, RN Winston-Salem State University Nursing 2312 Prof Faye Mauldin, RN, MSN April 26, 2011 Nursing can be described as a combination of both an art and a science because not only does it include natural and human sciences such as biology and psychology but it also has the ability to morally guide nursing practice and form trusting relationships. With both aspects of art and science being incorporated into nursing, it allows for the focus to be concentrated on the wholeness of an individual. Throughout history, several nursing theorist have developed unique system models in order to provide a framework that guides nursing actions and research by bringing together ideas and concepts to form a meaningful whole. The Neuman Systems Model is one of those models and is widely used in nursing today. The Neuman Systems Model (NSM) was originally developed at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1970 by Betty Neuman, Ph.D., RN (Heyman and Wolfe 2007).
This essay will focus on cultural competence and cultural knowledge as a component of mental health nursing practice when caring for a diverse population. Cultural competence Cultural awareness and cultural knowledge are considered to be the fundamental components of cultural competence (Campinha-Bacote, 2002; Popadopoulos, 2002). Campinha-Bacote (2002, p.181) defines cultural competence as the ’process in which the health care provider continuously strives to achieve the ability to effectively work within the cultural context of the client (individual, family, community)’. Unlike clinical skills that are gained and then performed, cultural competence is viewed as a dynamic and continuous process in which nurses maintain an open mind and discover culturally appropriate practices and interventions through considering cultural and religious heritage, beliefs and behaviours of both clients and nurses (Giger and Davidhizar, 2002). As noted by Purnell (2002), culture has a powerful impact on clients’ interpretation of and response to health care.
