APPLICATION OF LEININGER’S CULTURE CARE THEORY IN FAMILY MEDICAL HISTORY
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
One of the very first interactions a patient has with medical staff is a one-on-one interview to ascertain family medical history. However, the practice of recording patient medical history has remained relatively unchanged for decades since the advent of modern medicine. This begs a question of if there is a way to improve the current status quo. Leininger’s Culture Care Theory and Sunrise Model implement both an innovative and patient-centered focus that acknowledges and incorporates patients’ cultural backgrounds into their healthcare plan. Combining Leininger’s Culture Care Theory with the current process of recording family medical history will modernize a somewhat antiquated aspect of modern healthcare, benefitting both patients and healthcare professionals alike.
