Limited nursing knowledge exists to explain how culture influences men’s health care decisions and practices. The purpose of this collaborative research was to explore the health care meanings, values, expressions, lived experiences, and practices of Anglo-American adult males residing in the rural Midwest. Using the ethnonursing research method, data were collected through interviews with 7 key and 12 general informants residing in Iowa. Four culture values and five themes were supported by the findings. Leininger’s culture care modes were used to explicate culturally meaningful nursing care actions and decisions that are in harmony with the cultural values and practices of rural men.
