Purnell Model for Cultural Competence.
Purnell's cultural competence model presents a concise, comprehensive, and
systematic framework for understanding and learning culture. The practical context of the
model provides administrators in the health field, healthcare providers, researchers, and
educators with a basis to provide therapeutic interventions, holistic, health wellness and
promotion, injury, illness, and disease control, health restoration and maintenance, and health
teaching across practice and educational setting (Purnell, 2013).
Purpose of the model
The model provides healthcare with a platform to learn the characteristics and
concepts of culture and defines the situations that affect a person's perspective of culture
based on a historical view. Furthermore, it links the core interrelationships of culture and
associates attributes of culture to facilitate and promote congruence to deliver competent and
sensitive health care. It also provides a platform to reflect on human characteristics such as
intentionality and motivation. Lastly, it offers a structure to analyze cultural data and views
group, individual, or family within their exclusive ethno culture environment.
Assumptions in the Model
The model assumes that all health care providers require similar cultural diversity
information, and they share a Meta paradigm notion of global health, family, society, and
persons. What is more, it assumes that all cultures are equal, culture influences one's response
and interpretation of healthcare, cultures evolve, and there are differences among cultures.
Overview of the model and organizing framework.
