Hello,

This is such an interesting area of nursing research. But I believe it is an issue that is far too complex to address in a social media forum. I encourage you to study the Giger & Davidhizer Transcultural model which is very widely used. You can easily find references on the Internet. This model breaks down cultural differences into the concepts of communication, space, time, social organization, environmental control and of course, biological variations. It's fascinating and can be applied to any situation.

I wish you the best of luck in your nursing education.
