Trans-cultural nursing in Spain

Abstract

The present study analyzes the state of Trans-cultural Nursing in Spain, from a historical perspective. The outcome shows a lack of knowledge on these trans-cultural nursing theories at their basics although there are some nursing schools really advanced in the matter. In Spain at present, the question is some nursing schools are moving rather slow while others go too fast. Those who “think ahead” are not those in power to promote those theories and to put them into practice. Furthermore, our society is neither yet prepared to approach matters in a “non-medical way” nor yet organized to give an adequate feed-back to theory and practice care.
