Transcultural Nurses' Prayer
by Dr. Madeleine Leininger
Divine spiritual master, help us to make transcultural nursing care meaningful
and relevant to those served worldwide. Help nurses to facilitate transcultural
understanding, peace, healing, and love among people of diverse and similar
cultures in the world. Where there is hatred, fear, prejudice, racism, or
violence, help nurses to lessen or remove these barriers through the use of
transcultural caring knowledge and skills. In all of our endeavors, let nurses
be guided by knowledge reflecting transcultural sensitivities, compassion,
understanding, and other differential caring skills to promote holistic healing
of cultural wounds, pain, or human suffering. We are, indeed, grateful that you
fashioned the universe with diversities so that we could come to your creative
design in nature, and in different environmental contexts. For these gifts we
are most grateful, but we need your continued help so that the full meaning,
goals, and practices of transcultural nursing will be realized for your glory
and for the benefit of all beings worldwide.

I am really inspired about your theory and I discussed about your theory to provide better understanding about the importance of other culture and also how to take care of the patients with in their culture. You provide informations about the significance of holistic nursing care to help the patients and their families in their sufferings. I got an opportunity to learn about your theory in my classes.
My heartfelt tribute to you Madeleine.

Madeline, was our visiting professor several years ago. She asked me to take her arround the Island in Puerto Rico. I was so impressed with her, she wanted to know everything from the cities we visited such as the history, name of the flowers, costums and foods. She enjoyed typical candies and food. I felt so relax in her presence.... My respect to her and her family...Thanks

I am saddened by the passing of Madeline, and the loss of an elegant lady, visionary, exemplary nurse, and magnificent scholar. I was a MS student in the early Graduate Child Nursing Program under Dr. Peggy Chinn, from 1973-1976, when Madeline was our Dean.After graduating, she gave me my first position as Instructor of Pediatric Nursing. We talked often, and because I had been an Army Nurse in Vietnam (71-72), we shared many discussions about living and practicing abroad, and the cultural implications related to that realm of practice.

Thank you Dr. Leininger for your most relevant nursing theory. I was able to incorporate the cultural assessment in my nursing practice over many years. It was especially effective during the time i was in the field as a home care nurse. Later on when i became an educator I taught your most practical theory to the nurses in our diverse community. My sincere condolences and prayers for your family. Nurses and those cared for all over the world have benefited from your diligence and caring. TY

Madeleine,
Thank you for all your wonderful work. In the early days of my nursing education, your theories made sense to me. Working cross-culturally abroad for 20 years, I came to see those transcultural theories as more than 'theories'. Using those experiences and theories as the basis for my Master's work was nothing less than an honour and a gift.
Thanks.

I knew the Dr Leininger's work during my undergraduate in nursing and started to study their theory and books. Dr Leininger was responsible for the introduction of the anthropological perspective in the Brazilian nursing research in a meeting realized in 1988. Her influence in the Brazilian scientific production, as well as in the consolidation of knowledge has been essential. Her pioneering nature, intelligence, and sensibility were very important to the nursing advances around the world. Currently, my professional career has others characteristics due to the contact with the culture care theory and anthropology. So, in my professional life Dr Leininger has a profound influence and give me a different point of view about the culture and its reflections in the health and nursing care.

Dr.Leininger was gracious in her personal life as in her professional life. She attended a small graduation reception for RNB students (in my home) spring of 1970, and made each of us feel blessed for having accomplished this milestone. She was a mentor to so many and gave me the impetus to pursue a doctorate research dissertation focused on transcultural health issues and contemporary nursing in Japan. When Gunma University in Japan was changed from diploma status to awarding baccalaureate and higher degrees in their nursing program, she again thanked me for applying her principles of transcultural nursing into reality and action. She has made a profound impression in my professional career, and multiplied her cultural caring throughout the worldwide nursing community.

To hear of her passing was a shock to the soul,
a pioneer for us, in culture and caring in nursing.
This revolutionary Madeleine Leininger,
whose New Guinea fieldwork, I admired her for.
To her, I say the Nahuatl words: Intlanextla in Tonatiuh,
May your Sun always shine brightly, the Earth welcomes you home.
Long live Madeleine Leininger. Long live.

I became familiar with Dr. Leininger's model many years ago when taking my transcultural nursing course as an undergraduate. She gave me wisdom and insight that I have carried for many years in my nursing practice. She will be missed.

May her soul rest in peace . Her contribution in the life and development of health professional is highly valued . The cultural diversity theory is such a eye opener and useful in dealing with diverse cultures in our life as nurses . I am currently doing a PHD in nursing and my study is based on her cultural diversity theory

There are oh so many Madeleine Leininger stories to be shared and no matter what nursing venue I have gone to in the past two weeks, more are shared. Her passion and committment, mentorship, encouragement all come out in these stories. She was a force in so many of our lives. She is a person who truly made her mark on nursing and those she touched. She made you think, feel and challenge ideas - what more could one want. Thank you to her family for sharing her with us.

Madeleine was a mentor, teacher, and friend to many including myself. I was her student at the University of Utah; she walked me down the aisle during my induction into the American Academy of Nursing; and she was a family friend who never neglected to ask about family members whenever I saw her. She will be missed for her critical thinking, visionary work, her humor, and her tireless effort to improve how we care as humankind. Her inspiration will remain with us life long learners in transcultural nursing and health. Condolences to her beloved family and thank you for sharing her with the world. I will miss her dearly.

Madeleine was a colleague in the best sense of the word. She respected others' ideas as she promoted her own with great passion. She gave much to nursing and will be missed.
