title: Culturally sensitive and culturally comprehensive care.
abstract: Nursing is essentially about caring for others (Leininger, 1988) and it is this emphasis on care that distinguishes nursing from other professions, most notably medicine, which are oriented towards cure. To achieve culturally sensitive care nurses need to develop a knowledge base which incorporates an awareness of their own culture, preferences and prejudices alongside specific information about ethnic groups.
