Background: In 2017, 524,142 foreigners except recognized refugees were registered in the Czech Republic. However, the number of foreigners living permanently or temporarily in our country is increasing every year. In 2017, 117,287 foreigners were provided with medical care in need of hospitalization. The need for cultural-specific care can be expected to increase in the future.

Aim: The aim of the paper is to point out the standard of providing culturally specific care in Nový Jičín, Opava and Ostrava.

Methods: A quantitative research method using non-standardized questionnaire of own construction was used.

Results: A total of 76 % of respondents stated that they had already met a patient of another culture in their practice. It turned out that only 17 % of respondents were able to provide cultural-specific nursing care to the full extent. The language barrier was identified as the biggest obstacle in providing culturally specific care. None of the nurses interviewed had a satisfactory education in transcultural nursing.

Discussion: Comparison of our results with the results of foreign studies shows that we are far behind in the provision of cultural-specific care in our region. While nursing care is routinely planned abroad using documentation created on the basis of transcultural models of nursing care, nurses in most cases do not even know what conceptual models can be used to provide culturally specific care.

Conclusion: Given the increasing global migration, it is necessary to motivate nurses to study transcultural nursing. It can be assumed that each nurse encounters a patient from a different cultural background during her practice. Being responsive to each patient’s individual needs is the goal of a holistic nursing concept.

Keywords: nursing education, transcultural nursing, cultural-specific care
