This study aimed to analyse a cultural care concept in nursing, through empirical experiences and theoretical constructs. The literature review related to subject as well as philosophic and scientific sources which have helped the understanding of the concepts and the way and how theories were made were essential to do this paper. The concept shows abstract constructs, ambiguity in its definitions and it maintains close relation to the culture which professionals develop on their actions. In conclusion, nurses should be open to respect culture’s clients to not create cultural conflicts during their assistance.
