Background: Globalization has reached a point where interaction with people from different sociocultural backgrounds is an integral part of everyday life for all of us. The growing number of migrants  is  noticeable  in  the  field  of  health  care  around the world. Care of women with migratory experience is now common in midwife practice. Those mentioned facts covers concepts of transcultural nursing and the needs of theory and practice. The midwife care should be based on an individualized partnership with   a woman, which will allow interventions to be adapted to current uniqe needs.

Aim: The aim of this article is to find and connect theoretical aspects and specifics of midwife practice, which can be crucial in providing nursing care for a woman with different sociocultural background.

Methods: The review article is a theoretical research based on a study and analysis of available professional publications in printed and electronic form. Those information was drawn from the total number of 24 domestic and foreign reference sources, which are listed in the
Literature section at the end of the article.

Results: Selected theoretical aspects associated with the transcultural nursing care were connected and applied in the field of midwery. The research strategy based on literature sources provided focus on the Partnership model concept which was unpublished in Czech translation until now. These concept seems to be an effective tool for identifying individual peculiarities with the benefit of focusing on the cultural differences of the each woman´s uniqe needs.

Conclusion: The presented information  trace  information  trace  theoretical  context of the most important aspects of trancultural care in midwifery. In addition to knowledge of existing conceptual model tools, the requirements for this care include also intercultural communication
skills or awareness of the importance of issues related to confession. Both communication and faith are directly connected with the cultural or ethnic identity of each woman and are always completely individual. To understand the current state  of the issue, a short historical excursion is attached to selected chapters.
