Culture-Based Caring in Nursing: A Systematic Review

Background: Culture-based caring in nursing is a crucial strategy for enhancing nurses’ performance by integrating cultural values into nursing practices. Objective: This literature aims to create more inclusive, meaningful, and culturally responsive healthcare services for both patients and nurses. Methods: Articles were obtained from several databases includes Scopus, Science Direct, ProQuest, PubMed, and CINAHL to identify articles published between 2019 - 2024. The review evaluated various literature on the development of culture-based caring models, focusing on cultural competence dimensions such as awareness, knowledge, skills, encounters, and desire. Result: The findings indicate that the success of this model heavily depends on continuous education, supportive and inclusive work environments, as well as nurses’ ability to adapt and communicate across cultures. This holistic approach does not only improve patients’ satisfaction but also strengthens interprofessional relationships, reduces miscommunication, and enhances overall healthcare service quality.
