Searching for and satisfaction of the need of patients, which is altered in disease, belong to pillars of modern nursing practice. In providing high-quality nursing care, in each patient/client, it is also necessary to respect his/here ethnic and cultural values, opinions and habits associated with his/her health, however, also with providing the medical care. To be able to plan culturally differentiated care respecting holistic theory for patients/clients who belong to members of a certain minority group, we should know in detail their special features associated with satisfying their basic and higher needs.
The purpose of the contribution is a presentation of results of the analysis of special foreign and Czech literature dealing with trans-cultural nursing practice on the one hand and special features of satisfying higher needs in the Vietnamese minority on the other. The authors, such as M. Leininger, M. Andrews, J. N. Giger, and R. E. Davidhizar belong to leading specialists in the trans-cultural nursing practice in abroad. Madeleine Leininger founded the trans-cultural nursing practice as an independent discipline in the field of nursing. The concept of the trans-cultural nursing was formed by her as early as in the 1950's. She is an author of a number of works dealing with these problems. The contribution concerns a 3-year research project, which is being solved within a grant of the IGA MZ ČR, and whose targets are aimed at providing this holistic nursing care for individuals from the Vietnamese and Chinese minority living in the Czech Republic, corresponding to the need of these citizens resulting from a different cultural environment in the country of their origin.
