Scenarios - Introduction

The scenarios presented here are not exhaustive in the use of the concepts and the framework being developed. Tutors may wish to devise their own scenarios, with emphasis on the issues they wish to explore.

In keeping with the learning outcomes and competencies, these scenarios aim to facilitate the application of the transcultural model of care by exploring issues of significance to the care of the individual and family. They also reflect some of the wider aspects involved in nursing care within a diverse society. The issues that emerge may range in their scope from being specific, person-centred concerns to broad issues about policies and practice. The examples are meant to act as triggers and you may generate others that are equally relevant and appropriate.

How you proceed to work through each scenario is very much a matter of personal choice. However, it may be useful to make some preparation beforehand. For instance, if you have come across patients from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds to yourself, you may spend some time reflecting on the main aspects of their care management. The stages of care delivery based on assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation may be helpful in organising the work you undertake.

You may choose to work alone or work in a group.

The issues that you raise for consideration should have a transcultural focus. You may wish to engage with others who have worked through the scenarios and share your ideas and knowledge. The initial list of resources provided is not exhaustive and you will no doubt add to it as you work through the scenarios.
