Cultural Project Overview The ultimate purpose of professional research is to solve a problem. Whether the researcher puts the results of the research in writing or just applies the new knowledge to personal practice is irrelevant. The need to apply critical thinking to finding solutions remains paramount. A nurse’s skill in making accurate decisions is rooted in their ability to find, evaluate, and analyze relevant, quality information. The goal of the Cultural Project is to solve problems related to issues surrounding cultural differences as they apply to healthcare. Culture can refer to: religion, race, ethnicity, age group, socioeconomic status, education, immigration status, country of origin, LGBTQ+ status, relationship status, insured status, etc. Most people are members of multiple culture groups. Each of these groups can impact health-related behavior and health care. Health-related behavior can refer to personal health status, habits, lifestyle, health-seeking behavior and how one comprehends health care.
