【 摘 要 】

According to the Office of Minority Health, there is a disparity in health care among minority populations (OMH, 2009). Nursing is faced with the challenge of increasing transcultural diversity and awareness if they are to be positioned to help bridge the gap in the health disparities that exist today. The purpose of this metasynthesis is to discover culture care meanings, expressions, actions, and decisions that promote health, well-being, and beneficial lifeways within the African American culture; thereby enhancing the understanding of how this disparity can be eradicated. Leininger;;s theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, ethnography, and ethnonursing were used to guide this inquiry. The researchers hope that this scholarly work honors the collective voice of this underserved population.
