Identified as a cornerstone for such a transition
and a core competency for practice. EBP is
an approach where healthcare decisions
are based on the available, current, and
relevant evidence and experience. The main
features of EBP are reliance and judicious use
of current best evidence, clinical expertise, and
individual patient needs and choices.

EBP helps nurses determine an effective course of action for care
delivery. According to NSW Government’s Clinical Information Access
Portal (CIAP), EBP involves the following 5+1 steps:

5. TRANSCULTURAL-NURSING
A study and practice in nursing that
focus on differences and similarities
among cultures with respect to
human care, health, and illness
based upon the people’s beliefs,
practices and cultural values wherein
such knowledge and skills, are
utilized by the professional nurse to
provide cultural specific or culturally
congruent nursing care to people.

6. EBP & TRANCULTURAL NURSING
In use of EBP, Transcultural nurses today can find ways and
means to adapt to the increasingly culturally diverse patients
and must know how to utilize the known tools of transcultural
nursing in order for them to be effective in giving the best
service for their patients that consequently make their firms
competitive in the market.
The inclusion of EBP in nursing provides nurses with the scientific
research that — in combination with real-time, data-driven
insight — is used to make well-founded decisions.
Through EBP, nurses can stay updated about new medical
protocols for patient care. By searching for documented
interventions that fit the profiles of their patients, nurses can
increase their patients’ chances for recovery.

7. EBP & TRANCULTURAL NURSING
EBP enables nurses to evaluate research so they
understand the risks or effectiveness of a diagnostic test
or treatments. The application of EBP enables nurses to
include patients in their care plan. This allows patients to
have a proactive role in their own healthcare since they
can voice concerns, share their values and preferences
and make suggestions on how they want to proceed.
Some barriers to incorporating EBP to improve patient
outcomes include funding sources, poor access to
quality information, lack of leadership, motivation or
strategy.

8. In Summary
Reflection in the nursing profession is very
important in helping improving the quality of nursing care
towards the culturally diverse patients. Transcultural
Nursing significantly conforms to the ethical principles of
as it would empower professional nurses to analyze their
own selves and professional performance particularly on
their respective strengths and weaknesses. It enables
them to mitigate their weaknesses through acquisition of
more in-depth knowledge derived from the implications
of trans-cultural nursing and latest trends of nursing
profession, new skills through profession empowering
workshops and new work venues that cater diverse
patients and retraining if necessary.

9. In Summary
The knowledge and application of
Trans-cultural nursing definitely change their
behavior towards their profession and towards
their patients which would positively impact their
cognitive, affective and psycho-motor functions in
fulfilling their duties and responsibilities as a
professional nurse confined in the culturally
diverse workplace. Acquiring skills and knowledge
through job exposure or experience are the most
concrete form of learning, so professional nurses
must find the ways and means to acquire it from
such venues as much as possible.
