Purpose: The purpose of this review was to develop a comprehensive understanding of nurses' and nursing students' challenges and approaches to the provision of transcultural care to people with diverse ethnicities.
Methods: An integrative review was conducted. Literature was searched within five databases, and 30 studies published from January 2010 to January 2021 were reviewed and appraised using mixed methods critical appraisal tool. Literature summary tables and inductive approaches were used for data extraction and synthesis.
Results: The challenges to the provision of transcultural care were intrapersonal struggle, cultural conflicts, varied expressions of pain and suffering, and navigation of personal and organizational constraints. Addressing these challenges required nurses and students to practice self-criticism and tolerate differences, develop interpersonal and psychological skills, and collaborate with peers and patients' families.
