Summary

This Core Curriculum is the culmination of many years of research, drawing from the fields of social and behavioral science, philosophy, and nursing to establish a core of knowledge that supports transcultural nursing practice. Editors Marilyn K. Douglas, DNSc, RN, FAAN, and Dula F. Pacquiao, EdD, RN, CTN, note in their preface, #xE2;#xAC;STranscultural nursing practice incorporates education, research, administration and direct care provision within the multilevel contexts of the individual, organization, community, society and the world as a whole. The goal of TCN [transcultural nursing] practice is to promote health and well-being of individuals and populations by reducing health and care disparities through culturally congruent and competent approaches at the multilevel contexts of care.#xE2;#xAC;
