In many cultures, the family assumes a primary role in care of the patient even when the patient is physically and emotionally capable of self-care. Including them, and especially those expected to support the learning process of the patient from the outset, in all aspects of health teaching for health promotion is important. The culturally sensitive nurse develops knowledge of the preferred communication style of different cultural groups and uses this knowledge in choosing teaching strategies. Patient motivation and participation increase with the use of indigenous teachers and cultural recognition of learning needs.
