“…The use of the hijab or Islamic veil is one of the most notorious signs that a woman belongs to the Muslim religion [32]. This practice has generated controversy in several European countries as it isconsidered a sign of the submission of women to men, although it can be justified as a religious or cultural custom or as a symbol of belonging to the community and an important link between women and their families.…”

The coast of southern Spain is one of the main entry points for Africans who want to reach Europe; in this area, there is an important immigrant community of African origin, mostly Muslims. The objective of this study is to describe and understand the hospitalization experience of Muslim migrants in public hospitals in southern Spain, especially their relationship with the nurses who care for them. Data were collected from May 2016 to June 2017. This study followed the principles associated with focused ethnography. During data collection, open interviews with 37 Muslim patients were conducted. Three themes emerged from the inductive data analysis: lack of communication with nurses, discriminatory experiences at the hospital and their experience of Islam in the hospital. We conclude that caring for Muslim patients requires specific training not only for nurses but also for other health professionals; existing communication problems must be addressed by establishing the role of the intercultural mediator as an idiomatic and cultural bridge between patients and nurses. In addition, hiring health professionals with migrant backgrounds would help convert hospitals into spaces for intercultural coexistence.

“…Several studies have revealed that interventions by culturally sensitive health care providers have been shown to have an impact on patient outcomes ( Kuhlmann & Tallman, 2022 ; Wadi et al, 2021 ). The development of CS is an important component of nursing education, and all nurses are expected to provide culturally sensitive care ( Blankinship, 2018 ). Furthermore in previous studies, CS has been recognized as a component and foundation of CC ( Henderson et al, 2018 ; Sharifi et al, 2019 ).…”

Introduction: The development of cultural sensitivity is essential for health care professionals but there are few tools to measure this quality in Japan. The purpose of this study was to develop a scale of cultural sensitivity for Japanese health care professionals and examine its reliability and validity. Method: A draft scale was created through conceptual analysis and a questionnaire was completed by 515 health care professionals and 1,322 college students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to determine suitable scale items and examine model fitness. Results: The four-factor 18-item scale showed acceptable model fitness. Cronbach’s α coefficient exceeded .90 and correlation coefficients for criterion-related validity were over .29. Construct validity was confirmed by the significantly higher score of the cross-culturally experienced groups. The intraclass correlation coefficient was .642 (professionals) and .722 (students). Discussion: This reliable and valid scale for Japanese health professionals and college students may be used to evaluate training programs to increase their cultural sensitivity.

“…By paying attention to the needs of patients based on their cultural and religious backgrounds, a nurse will not a priori assume that all patients have needs or believe in the same prohibitions (Giger 2017). This practical urgency is especially relevant to nursing practice in Muslim-majority countries, such as Indonesia or Malaysia, as well as in countries where Muslims are a minority (Blankinship 2018).…”

Although nursing theory developed in the modern Western scientific tradition has universal aspects, it is important to consider the different philosophies, beliefs and cultures of each different society to enrich the perspective and practice of nursing that is more sensitive to the patient’s background. As supported by the Transcultural Nursing Theory, in treating patients a nurse needs to pay attention to and respect the cultural preferences and beliefs of the patient. In this context, this article wants to contribute by describing the Islamic perspective on nursing in the context of nursing philosophy. Methods: This literature review uses articles published from 2018-2022 with source from databased ScienceDirect, Scopus, Sage Journals, EBSCO-Host, Springer Link, and ProQuest. The keywords used are Islamic, perspective, nursing, caring. Article selection follows “PRISMA” flow. Results: This systematic review have a total of 8 articles meet the criteria for analysis. This article has relevance both in Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Middle Eastern countries, as well as countries where Muslims are a minority. We found 8 articles presents a number of opinions or research results that examine nursing issues and those related to it from an Islamic perspective. From a number of opinions and research findings studied, it can be concluded that although it can be said to offer universal core values, the Islamic perspective has fundamental differences with Western nursing philosophy or theory, especially in terms of the source of knowledge, the basic view of humans, and the importance of spirituality in nursing.
