title: Caring: some reflections on the impact of the culture care theory by McFarland & Andrews and a conversation with Leininger.
abstract: This column is the first of two with a special focus on the construct of caring. In this dialogue, two Leininger scholars together address the questions related to the global impact on practice and the contribution of the model to scientific development in nursing. Then, in a special conversation, nurse theorist Madeleine Leininger offers her view of the impact of her work as well as some of her early experiences.
