Purnell Model for Cultural Competence
Larry Purnell, PhD, RN, FAAN

Purnell Model: Assumptions
All healthcare professions need much of the same information about cultural diversity and share the metaparadigm concepts of global society, community, family, person, and health.
One culture is not better than another culture; they are just different.

Purnell Model: Assumptions
There are core similarities shared by all cultures.
There are differences within, between, and among cultures.
Cultures change over time, but slowly.
Culture has powerful influences on one’s interpretations and responses to health care.

Purnell Model: Assumptions
If clients are co-participants in care and have a choice in health-related goals, plans, and interventions, health outcomes will be improved.
Variant cultural characteristics determine the degree to which people vary from their dominant culture beliefs, values, and practices.

Purnell Model: Assumptions
Individuals and families belong to several cultural groups, usually known as subcultures.
Each individual has the right to be respected for his or her unique differences and cultural heritage.
Caregivers who can assess, plan, and intervene in a culturally competent manner will improve the care of clients for whom they care.

Purnell Model: Assumptions
Caregivers know themselves better by learning about their own cultures.
Professions, organizations, and associations have their own cultures.
Healthcare teams can benefit from a Model and Organizing Framework that is useable by all healthcare disciplines.
