Introduction

Certain culture-related concepts are particularly relevant to healthcare and nursing. These include culture, race, ethnicity, and cultural competence. Culture refers to a set of beliefs, assumptions, values, and norms that a group of individuals largely observes and transfer across generations. Ingram defined culture as a learned world view demonstrated by a group of individuals that is transferred socially. Culture affects the beliefs, values, norms, and behaviors of individuals, and it is reflected in language, food, dress, and social institutions. Culture can significantly affect various aspects of human life, including health and preferences for managing health conditions. Multicultural trends are emerging in numerous countries due to globalization and mass immigration.

Such cultural awareness denotes an individual's self-awareness of his or her own cultural background, differences, and biases. Acculturation, on the other hand, signifies the process of learning about a new culture. Nurses should adapt to different cultures by making modifications to their nursing practices.
