the Giger and Davidhizar’s Transcultural Assessment Model, which has six phenomena’s; communication, space, time, environmental control, biological variation and social organization. This model will provide a framework to assess the Jewish culture and their beliefs during the transition period of end of life. This paper will discuss two implications of nursing care. From those implications, a culturally appropriate nursing intervention will be discussed. Giger and Davidhizar’s Transcultural Assessment

The ever-increasing multicultural
grief vary immensely among cultures. Providing care and loving kindness to a patient while they transition from illness through death is a complex and incredibly important task. An increasingly diverse society means increasingly diverse clientele who need individualized care that is sensitive to unique cultural needs especially when dealing with death and dying.

Transcultural Model and the Jewish Culture Culture is a system of beliefs that are shared and communicated within a certain group of people, along with behavioral expectations and values that provide a framework to live by. No two people practice culture the exact same way. In the healthcare setting, especially in the United States, nurses and other healthcare workers are exposed to many different cultures. Being a culturally competent nurse ensures that individuals, families, and different groups

This model focuses on six cultural phenomena: communication, time, space, social organization, environmental control, and biological variations. It is important for nurses to utilize this tool while performing
aspects of the patients care (Giger & Davidhizar, 1999). Nurses should conscience of this and try to include family whenever possible. Time Hispanics concept of time is very different from that of Americans. According to Giger and Davidhizar (1999), Hispanics are present-time oriented, which means that they place more importance on the present time than on the future.
