Abstract
Britain is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Europe, and most spinal cord injury units admit patients from other countries for rehabilitation. Nurses in spinal cord injury care will, therefore, encounter patients from a range of cultural backgrounds. This article defines and discusses the concepts of culture, race and ethnicity in relation to the care of those with spinal cord injuries. The impact of these concepts on quality and equality in nursing care is identified. The article suggests how to provide culturally appropriate care for people with spinal cord injury from diverse cultural backgrounds, by avoiding cultural stereotypes and taking an individualized approach to care.
