Culture is defined as the sum of all the material and spiritual
values created in the process of social development and the tools that are used
to create and hand these values down to next generations and show the extent of
the man’s authority and control over their natural and social environment. The
nursing profession, which plays an important role in the health team, is often
based on a cultural phenomenon. The aim of nursing is to provide a
wholly caring and humanistic service respecting people’s cultural values and
lifestyles.
