title: The impact of lifespan development and culture on the health of older migrant women.
abstract: Australia has a long history of accepting migrants from all over the world. As a consequence, one of the challenges in nursing is to provide culturally relevant and culturally safe care to people from varying ethnic backgrounds. One specific issue that nurses need to be aware of is the significance of the impact on migrant women in the "sandwich generation" when providing care their elderly relatives. Nurses can use lifes-pan developmental theory to effectively provide care for migrant groups, by being aware of the developmental level of th e person and its impact.
