title: Multiculturalism as a concept in nursing.
abstract: This article focuses on the theoretical processes of identifying and evaluating concepts in the public domain and the subsequent practical application of such concepts to the provision of nursing care. More specifically, this article identifies the concept of "multiculturalism" as a valuable one for nursing, and then evaluates it via the methodology developed by nursing theorists Wilson (1969) and Meleis (1997).
