Culture
Culture is a set of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that are widely held among a group of people and that are transmitted inter generationally (Leininger, 2002a). Culture develops over time and is resistant to change. It takes many years for individuals to become familiar enough with a new value for it to become part of their culture. In response to the needs of its members and their environment, culture provides tested solutions to life's problems and, as a result, guides our thinking, dis¬cussions, and actions. Culture is important to nurses because it helps them to undrstand the beliefs and practices clients bring to the clinical setting, their responses to health and illness, and the type of health care they are expecting. Culture is applicable not only to minority groups, but also to groups of white Americans from European descent, such as the Irish, Italian, and Russian
