PEREZ PIMENTEL, Sandra. Transcultural nursing like a method for care management in a urban community: Camaguey, 2008. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.3-4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2961.

The Madeleine Leininger's cultural care theory poses that the knowledge of cultural and social structure of a community, group or subject, may define the achievement of objectives in nursing assistance practice. For the practical utilization of this theory in our environment, we conducted a qualitative and descriptive study in a urban community from "Julio Antonio Mella" Polyclinic to describe the cultural features of that population, and to identify the required cultural care , thus applying the Rising Sun model of this theory embracing the following variables: Educational, economic, political and legal factors, cultural values and lifestyles, social and family factors and religious and philosophical factors. We determined that this population has a schooling mean level of 12 degree level, to practice mainly the Protestant religion, is integrated to mass organizations and has a low rate of crime. Most works with a low birthrate and the cultural values are identified fundamentally in the solidarity. Unhealthy lifestyles were developed related to risk factors of non-communicable chronic diseases. We verified some popular myths that may be respected thus we designed a proposal of transcultural cares to this population.
