Models of Transcultural Care - Conclusion

Conclusion

A number of concepts and models of transcultural care have been introduced. Whilst they engender considerable debate there are similarities in the conceptualisations and processes that lead to the development of cultural competence. These theories are not exhaustive as demonstrated in the literature relating to post-colonialism theory ( e.g. Huntingon et al., 1996). The areas of knowledge and skills that are compatible for giving culturally congruent (see glossary) care may be explored in greater depth and breadth using the references and bibliography.
