To overcome bias and provide culturally competent care, nurses need to learn to understand and respect cultural differences among patients. This result can be achieved using various models of cultural competence. One of such models is the Transcultural Assessment Model created by Giger and Davidhizar. This framework provides nurses with an opportunity to study how a patient’s culture differs from their own, which allows identifying the required changes in communication style, treatment plans, and other components. The model has six dimensions: communication, social organization, space, time, environmental control, and biological variation. Assessing a patient on each of these dimensions offers insights necessary to provide culturally competent care.
