Key result
Transcultural Nursing framework facilitates culturally appropriate CVD and stroke research in CALD populations.
Why the study?
CVD and stroke disproportionately affect culturally and linguistically diverse populations, yet these individuals remain underrepresented throughout CVD research.
Design
Discussion paper
May guide culturally responsive CVD research in CALD populations; leaves open empirical validation before clinical adoption.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke disproportionately affect people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, with disparities driven by cultural, social, and systemic barriers. Despite these disparities, people of CALD backgrounds remain underrepresented throughout CVD research. The Transcultural Nursing theoretical framework provides a structure for culturally appropriate research by integrating patients’ beliefs, values, and preferences. This discussion paper examines the Transcultural Nursing theoretical framework and its relevance in CVD and stroke research, and demonstrates its application through exemplars. Despite critiques concerning complexity and potential stereotyping, the Transcultural Nursing theoretical framework remains a valuable framework for culturally responsive research.
