Leininger is the founder of Culture Care Diversity and Universality theory. The theory was established in order to encourage nurses to understand and be able to deliver culturally sensitive care to their patients. After reading her culture care theory article it made me realize the importance of care giving across cultures in the nursing profession. There is an even deeper opportunity to give complete care if I am to educate myself more fully about different cultures and their ways of administering care professionally and generally. Thus I should examine the cultural meanings and underpinnings that are behind the way that I give and receive care.

Hey! I agree that Leininger's theory is important to nursing. As a student nurse, we will be caring for patients who are diverse, and it is our responsibility to provide effective care to these patients. The theory will be important in the relationships we build with the patients, especially since the world is contnually growing!
