The cultural ways of Cambodian refugee families, combined with the physical and psychological health problems inherent in their refugee experience, present opportunities for nurses to engage in transcultural nursing. The purpose of this descriptive study was to understand the nature and meaning of a school district cross-cultural team's experiences of providing health care for children of Cambodian refugee families. Focus group interviews with school nurses and Cambodian liaisons were conducted utilizing S. M. Dobson's conceptual framework of transcultural health visiting as a guiding theoretical perspective. Transcultural and intracultural reciprocity as experienced with Cambodian families are explored and described. Concrete suggestions for fostering transcultural reciprocity with Cambodian refugee families are provided.

This paper reviews selected work, published in nursing journals between 1985 and 1991, on the subject of transcultural nursing. The papers were selected by the use of a computerized literature search at the Royal College of Nursing library, using the keywords transcultural, multicultural, crosscultural and cultural. The benefits and limitations of such an approach will be discussed along with an introduction to transcultural nursing. The journal papers were then reviewed under eight headings, theory and concepts, nurse education, health education and patient teaching, clinical, counselling, sexuality, care of the child and research. Common themes and problems are discussed.

Awareness of cultural diversity combined with individualiz.ation of care has been supported throughout transcultural nursing literature (Ahmann, 1994;Mason, 1990) Concepts of cultural sensitivity and multiculturalism have given way to a new view which sees transcultural nursing as a "reciprocal" process. By means of case studies Harry, Kalyanpur, and Day (1999) proposed a posture of cultural reciprocity for professionals working with ethnically diverse students with disabilities.…”

The unique cultural ways of Cambodian refugee families, combined with the physical and psychological health problems inherent in their refugee experience, present challenging and rewarding opportunities for school nurses to engage in the process of transcultural nursing. The authors discuss the profound and devastating impact of the refugee experience upon the mind, body, and spirit of Cambodian children. The purpose of this exploratory and descriptive study was to understand the nature and meaning of a school district's crosscultural team's experiences of providing health care for Cambodian refugee children. Focus group interviews of school nurses and Cambodian liaisons were conducted, utilizing Dobson's (1989) conceptual framework of transcultural health visiting as a guiding theoretical perspective. The concepts of transcultural and intracultural reciprocity as experienced with Cambodian refugees were explored and described in this qualitative study. The multifaceted roles of Cambodian liaisons emerged as vital components to successful connections with Cambodian refugee families.
