Abstract
This project was conducted to provide a basis for the development of practice guidelines for care
of the diabetic immigrant client. Based on recommendations from the integrative literature
review from published qualitative research studies, these guidelines will provide a basis to aid
the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) in working alongside culturally diverse immigrant patients
with diabetes. Leininger’s Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality will be the
underlying theory for the guideline development. The results of this project will lay the
foundation for working with this population by providing guidelines for culturally appropriate
care to individuals, and with further research, could inform practice for working with culturally
diverse communities as a whole.
