Virginia henderson's theory of nursingMandeep Gill
Virginia Henderson was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1897, the fifth of eight children in her family. During the World War 1, Henderson developed an interest in nursing. So in 1918 she entered the Army school of Nursing in Washington D.C. Henderson graduated in 1921 and accepted a position as a staff nurse with the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service in New York. After 2 years, in 1923, she started teaching nursing at the Norfolk Protestant Hospital in Virginia. She has enjoyed a long career as an author and researcher. She is known as, “The Nightingale of Modern Nursing” & “The 20th century Florence Nightingale."
The demographic profile of the countries suggests that countries are rapidly becoming heterogeneous, multicultural societies. So it is imperative that nurses develop an understanding about culture and its relevance to competent care. Transcultural nursing represents and reflects the need for respect and acknowledgement of the wholeness of all human beings.
It is essential to remember that regardless of race ethnicity or cultural heritage, every human being is culturally unique. Professional nursing care is culturally sensitive, culturally appropriate and culturally competent

transcultural nursing means being sensitive to cultural differences as you focus on individual patients, their needs, and their preferences. Show your patients your respect for their culture by asking them about it, their beliefs, and related health care practices.
It is a healthcare practice that seeks to learn about other cultures and beliefs to care for patients in the best way possible. Some cultures might have beliefs that go against certain health practices.

Leininger, M. (1994). Quality of life from a transcultural nursing perspective. Nursing Science Quarterly, 7(1), 22-28.
Leininger explains her belief in this article that the quality of life is derived from her theory of culture care diversity and universality. She tries to demonstrate how medical attendants should adopt a transcultural nursing perception in improving the quality of life as compared to how it has been perceived in most of the traditional and patterned descriptions. She talks about the five cultures that she says when appropriately incorporated in nursing care, a more advanced discipline and profession of culturally constituted care patterns will be attained. These cultures include: Mexican Americans, Philippine Americans, Anglo-Americans, Gadsup of New Guinea and Native North Americans. The article delved more on universality rather than diversity (p 26).
It is complex when one tries to understand the quality of life, and thus, different approaches of culturally patterned care are used to describe the conditions and expressions of humans. The symbolic, expression and meaning referents in most cases are influenced by diversity in humans. According to Leininger, the quality of life should be understood from an inside culturally patterned establishment in order for the results to be accurate and reliable (p 28). The underlying challenge existing in nursing practice is to help health care providers distinguish and identify the inside and outside patterned expressions and meanings linked with the quality of life to help nurses make sound treatment decisions, behaviors and counseling.
In summary, the article revealed that the quality of life is in a large part described by culturally patterned and articulated through our way of living as well as the prevailing cultural ideas. Leininger concludes by stating that, what determines the quality of life is not universal. However, further research is needed to validate and understand more the meaning of quality of life.

In this article, the transcultural cultural theory as developed by Madeleine Leininger shows how patient care should be administered based on one’s practices, values, and cultural beliefs. Madeleine Leininger presents her arguments in this article using a clinical encounter that relates to her transcultural nursing care theory of a Bedouin woman client who is being assessed, diagnosed and treated for malignant growth (p 4).
Upon the arrival of the client.
Transcultural nursing topic is very important for nursing students. Transcultural nursing is a comparative study of cultures to understand similarities (culture universal) and difference (culture-specific) across human groups.

Grand Theories
Theories can be classified based on their levels of abstraction. The scope of grand theories is very broad and, therefore, they don't lend themselves easily to application and testing. Grand theories are less abstract than conceptual models, but the concepts that compose them are still relatively abstract and general, and the relationships cannot be tested empirically (Fawcett, 1995)1.
Let's begin our exploration of grand theories with Sr. Callista Roy's adaptation model. The principal premise behind this model is that individuals are adaptive systems that cope with change through adaptation, and nursing helps to facilitate this adaptation of individuals during health and illness.
Middle Range Theories
Middle-range theories originate from grand theories. They are less abstract and comparatively more focused and narrower in scope, which implies that they are made up of concepts and propositions that are testable. The development of the concept of caring as the central concept to nursing gave rise to several theories focused on caring. The most prominent of these caring theories is Madeleine Leininger's theory of culture care.
Madeleine Leininger: Culture Care: Diversity and Universality Theory
Culture plays an important role in every healthcare setting. Integrating culture with care is an effective way of guiding thought processes, actions, and decisions within that culture.
Leininger's theory takes into account the cultural beliefs and values of individuals and groups to provide satisfying and culturally congruent nursing care. Culture exhibits both diversity and universality. While diversity includes different ways of practicing care, universality refers to the common elements in care. While adopting this model, it is important to incorporate cultural differences into nursing assessments, interventions, and care plans.
The culture care theory stresses the importance of cultural care and the need to be sensitive to the role of culture in health and healing. Consider this case. A South East Asian female patient admitted to a U.S. hospital for gynecological complaints felt that she was in a hostile healthcare environment, in the midst of caregivers who were not friendly or sensitive to her needs. Everything, starting from the admission procedure, routine questioning, and physical assessment to the diet she was served, sent out negative signals to the patient. Had the attending nursing and other healthcare professionals been sensitive to her cultural differences and taken the trouble to make her feel comfortable, this turn of events could easily have been avoided. Culturally competent nurses can create positive environments where patients feel accepted and their cultural norms, beliefs, and practices are respected.
This model is relevant to education, research and practice.

Culture Care Theory: A Major Contribution
to Advance Transcultural Nursing
Knowledge and Practices
MADELEINE LEININGER, PhD, LHD, DS, CTN, FAAN, FRCNA
This article is focused on the major features of the Culture
Care Diversity and Universality theory as a central contrib-
uting theory to advance transcultural nursing knowledge and
to use the findings in teaching, research, practice, and consul-
tation. It remains one of the oldest, most holistic, and most
comprehensive theories to generate knowledge of diverse and
similar cultures worldwide. The theory has been a powerful
means to discover largely unknown knowledge in nursing and
the health fields. It provides a new mode to assure culturally
competent, safe, and congruent transcultural nursing care.
The purpose, goal, assumptive premises, ethnonursing
research method, criteria, and some findings are highlighted.
This article is focused on the 2001 Pittsburgh Precon-
ference theme “Major Contributions of Book Authors to
Transcultural Nursing Knowledge and Practices.” As the
founder of the discipline and author of 28 books and 220 pub-
lished articles, I hold that my Culture Care Diversity and Uni-
versality theory has made a significant contribution to estab-
lish and advance transcultural nursing research knowledge
and practice since the mid-1950s. This article is a brief synop-
sis of culture care theory with its unique features and major
contributions to support transcultural nursing as a discipline
and practice field.
In establishing this new discipline, different lines of think-
ing and practice were essential. It necessitated futuristic
vision, risk taking, commitment, patience, and leadership to
challenge many traditional nursing ideas and practices.
Unquestionably new knowledge and practices were essential
for nurses to function in a rapidly changing multicultural
world. Substantive theory-based research knowledge was
greatly needed with a global and comparative focus to care for
people of diverse cultures. Culturally based care knowledge
was the major missing area in nursing in the mid-20th century
and still is in some places in the world. I coined the construct
of culturally congruent care, which is the central goal of the
theory.
In my first two books,Nursing and Anthropology(1970)
and Transcultural Nursing: Concepts, Theories, Research,
and Practice(1978), the nature, rationale, need, and theoreti-
cal base were given to establish transcultural nursing. Nurses
needed in-depth knowledge of cultures with an anthropologi-
cal view and in-depth, culturally based care phenomena. I
held that care was the essence of nursing and had meaning
within cultural contexts. Care was not fully known and valued
in nursing, and so it was a challenge to get nurses interested in
the Culture Care theory in the 1950s and 1960s as the medical
mind-body treatments and symptoms held nurses’ interests
and practices (Leini ...

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

situation
Specific
Objectives:
4. o Dr. Leininger is the
founder of transcultural
nursing.
o Initiated this field of
nursing in the mid-1950s.
o Born in Sutton, Nebraska,
lived on a farm with two
brothers and sisters.
o Attended Sutton High
School, Scholastica
College, the Catholic
University of America in
DC, and the University of
Washington, Seattle
5. o She brought nursing and anthropology together and
coined the term transcultural nursing as an essential
formal area of study and practice.
o Her Culture Care Diversity & Universality theory was
one of the earliest nursing theories and it remains the
only theory focused specifically on transcultural
nursing with a culture care focus. Her theory is used
worldwide.
o Dr. Leininger was the first professional nurse with a
graduate preparation to complete a PhD in
anthropology.
6. Theoretical Source:
Derived from the discipline of
Anthropology. Conceptualized the theory to
be relevant to nursing.
Leininger recognized that one of the
most important contributions of
Anthropology to nursing is the realization
that health and illness states are strongly
influenced by culture.
7. Metaparadigm in nursing
Nursing – care has the greatest meaning which
explains nursing
Person – not only refers to individual but families,
groups and communities
Health – not distinct to nursing as many
disciplines use this term
Environment – included events with
meanings and interpretations given to them in
particular physical, ecological, socio-political, or
cultural setting
8.
9. Theoritical Assertion/
Major Concepts
Care – assist others with real or anticipated needsto
promotehealth and wellness
Culture – learned, shared, and transmitted values,
beliefs, normsof agroup that influences behavior
Culture Care – aspectsof culturethat influenceor
enableaperson to deal with illnessor death
Culture Care Diversity – differencesin meanings,
values, or careof different groupsof people
Culture Care Universality – common careor
similaritiesamong cultures
10. Emic perspective of Culture – refersto an insider’sviewsand
knowledgeof theculture
Etic perspective of Culture – meanstheoutsider’sviewpointsof
the cultureand reflectsmoreon professional anglesof nursing.
Transcultural Nursing – branch of nursing which focuses
upon thecomparativestudy and analysisof cultures with respect
to nursing and health-illnesscaring practices, beliefsand values
Cultural Competence – acombination of culturally congruent
behaviors, practiceattitudes, and policiesthat allow nurses to
work affectively in crosscultural situations
Culture Congruent Care – cognitively based assistive, supportive,
facilitative, or enabling actsor decisionsthat aretailor-
madeto fit with individual, group, or institutional cultural
values, beliefsand lifewaysin order to provideor support
meaningful, beneficial and satisfying healthcareor well- being
services
11. 3 Modes of Nursing Care
decisions and actions
Culture care preservation/maintenance
help people of a particular culture to retain and/or preserve
relevant care values so that they can maintain their well-being,
recover from illness, or face handicaps and/or death
Culture care accommodation/negotiation
help people of a designated culture to adapt to or to negotiate with
others for beneficial or satisfying health outcomes
Culture care re-patterning / reconstructing
help clients reorder, change, or greatly modify their life ways for
new, different, and beneficial health care patterns while respecting
the clients cultural values and belief
12. Acceptance by the Nursing
Community
Practice - accepted in nursing practice
- provides new insights related to nursing and
transcultural nursing
Education - a critical need remains for nurses to be
educated in transcultural nursing in undergraduate and
graduate programs
- educational preparations remains weak and is
limited for nurses worldwide
Research - Leininger’s Culture care theory has been used
for research by nurses
- Transcultural nurses have stimulated other nurses
to pursue research and discover new knowledge in nursing
13. Analysis
Simplicity – not simple; truly transcultural, global in scope and
highly complex; holistic and comprehensive.
Generality – general; qualitatively-oriented theory that is broad,
comprehensive and worldwide in scope, useful and applicable to
groups and individuals with the goal of rendering culture-specific
nursing care.
Empirical Precision – researchable; qualitative research has
been the primary paradigm to discover largely unknown
phenomena of care and health to diverse cultures.
Derivable Consequences – the theory is useful, applicable and
essential to nursing practice, education and research. It could be
the means to establish a sound and defensible discipline and
profession.
