The counterpart relationship: a model for clinical nurse specialists in international nursing practice.
The proposed counterpart relationship model can be an effective tool in blending role functions to provide culturally sensitive nursing care in international settings. The authors explore their experience in developing a counterpart relationship where the CNS enters into a mutually collaborative relationship with a host counterpart from a cultural base different from the CNS's. The goal is to improve the level of health care provided to a specific cultural group and to transition the responsibilities of the CNS to the host counterpart.
