Document Summary
Recognize how the sdoh influence the health and well-being of specific population groups. Address population diversity when planning, implementing, adapting, and evaluating public health programs and policies. Apply culturally relevant and appropriate approaches with people from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds, and persons of all ages, genders, health status, sexual orientations, and abilities. Culture is one of the two or three most complicated words in the english language. Culture is the learned, shared, and transmitted values, beliefs, norms, and lifeways of a particular culture that guides thinking, decisions, and actions in patterned ways and often intergenerationally. Gustafson contends that transcultural nursing rests on a broadly defined concept of culture that is narrowly applied. The focus is on individual identity within an understanding of culture that emphasizes the similarities of experiences and differences. Being open to and aware of multiple ways of knowing and experiencing the world leads to the recognition that decisions can take place in different contexts.
