Tiivistelmä
A broken arm or wrist is usually caused by a fall onto an outstretched arm. It usually takes six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and less time in children. The aim of this study sought to describe how nurses can care for patients from different cultures with a fractured wrist in a plaster of paris cast.
Qualitative content analysis was used to analysis the findings. The findings from the literature reviewed were grouped into three themes: nursing care for wrist fractures, providing cultural nursing care and communication. The nurse assesses (airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure or pain assessment), plans, implements and evaluates care using evidenced-based practice. Communication and language are very essential in providing nursing care for patients from different cultural backgrounds. The nurse must understand and know the cultural background of the patient and care for them. The nurse makes sure to give the information (verbally or written) to the patient and ensure it is culturally relevant, so the patient will understand it and carry out.
