Diversity in Care Values and Expressions Among Turkish Family Caregivers and Dutch Community Nurses in the Netherlands

Yolande van den Brink, Drs NSc, RN

Transcultural Care Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Aside from being a world harbor, Rotterdam is known for its large numbers of migrant groups. The Turkish community comprises one of the largest groups of migrants. This article reflects on the findings of an ethnonursing research, Transcultural Care for the Elderly at Home, which explored diversity and universality in care values and meanings relevant to care of the elderly at home between Turkish lay caregivers and Dutch professional nurses in the community. It compares the caring values and patterns of these two groups of caregivers within the cultural context of Turkish families in Rotterdam. Based on the comparative findings of the research, recommendations for implementing culturally congruent nursing care for Turkish elders at home are presented.

Key Words: Turkish caregivers • health care in the Netherlands • ethnonursing research • transcultural care
