Abstract
Research evidence indicates that mental health nurses have limited awareness and knowledge
about the care of culturally diverse people as well as deficiencies in education programmes in
transcultural nursing. The article demonstrates fundamental differences of mental health nursing
care in western and non-western societies. It also describes Leininger’s principles for transcultural
mental health nursing as well as the application of Papadopoulos, Tilki and Taylor model for the
development of mental health nurse’s cultural competence. The structural elements of this model
are cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural sensitivity and cultural competence.
