Cultural Aspects of Family
Culture (Falicov, 1988)
•
A set of shared world views and adaptive behaviors derived from simultaneous
membership in a variety of contexts
o nationality & ethnicity
o religious background
o political leanings
o geographic setting, etc.
Broad definition of culture
•

•
•
•
•
•
Ethnographic variables
Nationality, ethnicity, language, religion
Demographic variables
Age, gender, place of residence
Status variables
o social, economic, education
Affiliation variables
Formal & informal group memberships
Why the focus on culture in nursing?
“Clients have a right to have their sociocultural backgrounds understood in the same way
that they expect their physical and psychological needs to be recognized and understood.” Leininger (1995)
Lack of cultural insight can result in:
•
•
•
•
Poor communication.
Interpersonal tension.
Inability to work effectively with others.
Poor assessment of health problems & remedies.
Cultural dissimilarity can lead to incongruent:
•
•
•
Goal expectations.
Rapport.
Communication styles.

Lack of recognition of individual differences
To avoid stereotyping, remember “norms” are a clue to family background.
These culturally derived patterns need to be verified with assessment for each
family.
