Transcultural Nursing Resources
This is a brief guide to selected sources of information on
transcultural nursing. Transcultural nursing is an area of study and
practice that focuses on providing culturally competent health care to
people worldwide. The first listings on this page are
databases to which the UIC Library subscribes. These can be accessed by
anyone from the Library of the Health Sciences or elsewhere on the UIC
campus. Access from other locations is limited to UIC students, faculty,
and staff who have a valid netID and password. A link to freely available
web sources is also included, as are books in the LHS collection. This is
not a comprehensive list of resources. For further assistance please ask
for help at
Information Services desk.
