title: Proposed standards for transcultural nursing. Transcultural Nursing Society.
abstract: For the past 3 years, the Minnesota Chapter of the Transcultural Nursing Society has focused efforts on the development of standards for transcultural nursing practice. The standards, based on Leininger's culture care theory and Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence, are intended to foster excellence in transcultural nursing practice, to provide criteria for the evaluation of nursing care, to be a tool for teaching and learning, to increase the public's confidence in the nursing profession, and overall to advance the field of transcultural nursing. The standards are presented as an invitation for individual and collective reflection and commentary.
