Trans-cultural aspects should be specified to provide the midwifery care for a client from the Chinese community. Respecting and subsequent satisfying needs of a woman in context with specific features of cultural differences is of importance for the physiological course of the delivery. At the stage of the consideration of the woman condition by the midwife, the Madeleine Leininger model is applied. It specifies requirements for procedural care provided by the midwife in dimensions of the trans-cultural aspects. The solution of most frequent diagnoses in midwifery in the course of delivery in a client who belongs to the Chinese community is proposed with taking into account culturally acceptable methods of the moderation of pains in the course of the delivery and effective communication in relation to a non-assimilated Chinese women in the environment of the labour ward in the Slovak Republic. Culturally acceptable competences of the midwife in relation to a client of a different culture are delimited for the midwife. A particular attitude to one client from the Chinese community is presented, which helped us to improve our attitude to providing a multicultural care and motivated us for activities aimed at its high quality. This valuable experience revealed reserves and initiated changes in traditional providing the midwifery care to satisfy bio-psychosocial needs of a woman and provide physiological course of the delivery.
