    The theory of cultural marginality is an important perspective on understanding how people who are outside the dominant social and cultural systems. Originally, this was developed within nursing and social sciences, the cultural marginality was described as how people who are excluded, factors such as poverty, homelessness, race, immigration or other stigmatized areas experience barriers that affect their well being. In healthcare settings, these patients often face limited access to services and have negative outcomes. Caring, one of the foundations of nursing plays a critical role in addressing these disparities (Campinha-Bacote, 2024).

    Cultural marginality can be defined as the lived experiences of those excluded or undervalued in our society. These patients encounter stigma, judgment and systemic barriers that negatively influences their physical and emotional well being. These challenges include delayed care, difficulty navigating the healthcare system and being overlooked or underrated. The theory shows how deeply these disparities are rooted in societal inequities rather than individual choices. This theory allows nurses to see beyond a patient being noncompliant, but to understand what barriers may be causing the noncompliance.

    Caring in nursing serves as a necessary response to vulnerabilities with cultural marginality. Empathy, respect and individualized care can help bridge cultural gaps and create trust between nurses and patients. When nurse practice caring intentionally, they create a safe environment physically and emotionally. This allows support and improves communication, adherence to care and overall more positive outcomes (Campinha-Bacote, 2024).

    An example I have is of caring for a middle aged patient that was homeless and admitted for hyperglycemia with diabetes and a foot infection. He had the barriers of lack of nutrition, stable housing, insulin access and negative experiences with the healthcare system before. When I noticed this I tried to build a rapport with him and addressing his concerns with reassurances to try and do better, with acknowledging the challenges he faces on the daily. Interventions I included was using clear and respectful communication, with informed decision making and helping coordination with a social worker for outside resources to improve his life, health and outcome. In the end, he became more engaged and trusting of me and the care we were providing him.

    Research supports that connecting cultural marginality and caring in nursing practice gives a more authentic experience and caring relationships for healthcare settings help improve patient outcomes. Research highlights that culturally responsive communication helps build trust and patient engagement (Yarahmadi et al., 2024). Overall, understanding cultural marginality is an important essential for providing compassionate nursing care. Awareness of this theory allows nurses to deliver care that improves lived experiences and supports healing.

  • Response to peer Lourdes

    Hello Dr. Cluver, and classmates.

    Please see my calculations and descriptive analysis of pre- and post-intervention weights from the sample study, and the responses to the discussion.

    Perform the following calculations:

    a. Based on the data set provided, calculate the mean pre-implementation and post-implementation weight values for patients involved in this practice change project.

    Pre-implementation:

    225+196+190+229+292+188+188+201+179+191=2079

    The sum divided by the total number of data points 2079/10= 207.9

    mean= 207.9

    Post-implementation:

    218+190+188+225+288+178+190+190+175+186= 2025

    The sum divided by the total number of data points 2025/10= 202.5

    mean = 202.5

    b. Now calculate the pre-implementation and post-implementation median weight of the patients.

    Pre-implementation median weight: Ordinal number.

    179, 188, 188, 190, 191, 196, 201, 225, 229, 292

    191+196= 387 median: 387/2=193.5

    Post-implementation median weight: Ordinal number.

    172, 178, 186, 188, 190,190, 190, 218, 225, 288

    190+190= 380 median: 380/2= 190

    c. Next, calculate the pre-implementation and post-implementation modes.

    Pre-implementation: must frequently repeated

    179, 188, 188, 190, 191, 196, 201, 225, 229, 292

    Modes: 188

    Post-implementation:

    172, 178, 186, 188, 190,190, 190, 218, 225, 288

    Modes: 190

    d. Finally, calculate the pre-implementation and post-implementation range of patient weights. If no outliers exist, the range will determine how close the weights are to the patients involved.

    Pre-implementation range: 292-179= 113

    Post-implementation range: 288-172= 116

    Based on your analysis of the descriptive statistics, what determinations related to the mean weights following implementation of the evidence-based intervention can be made?

    The descriptive analysis of this sample showed a reduction in patient weight after implementing an evidence-based exercise intervention. The mean weight decreased from 207.9 lb. to 202.5 lb., and the median dropped from 193.5 lb. to 190.0 lb. This indicates a general reduction, not just an isolated improvement. The mode changed from 188 lb. before the intervention to 190 lb. after. The range stayed about the same (113 lb. pre-implementation; 116 lb. post-implementation). This suggests that variability did not increase.

    As you reflect upon the weights of the patients, you observe that patient #5 has weights that are outliers. What does this do to your understanding of the data?

    Interpretation of the mean should be contextualized with other measures of central tendency, particularly given the presence of an outlier. Patient #5s higher weight likely increased the overall mean. However, the noticeable decrease in both the mean and the median supports the conclusion that the intervention was associated with a consistent reduction in weight across the group, rather than by a single participant. As Harbison and Simmons (2024) highlight, examining the mean, median, and range confirms the reliability of the measures in small samples, and in this case, the measures of central tendency remain aligned and stable. This underscores the importance of using multiple descriptive measures when evaluating outcomes in small samples.

    Limitations of the Study

    The small sample size (n=10) limits precision and generalizability, increasing vulnerability to sampling variation or subgroup over-representation (Coughlan et al., 2007). In the absence of a control group, the influence of external factors cannot be excluded.

    Overall Assessment

    Descriptive statistics indicate that the intervention was associated with a meaningful average weight reduction of 5.4 lb. in this study sample, with consistent central tendency observed throughout. A larger, representative sample in controlled studies is necessary to confirm broader effectiveness.

    Clinical Question

    Nursing incivility is a widespread problem in hospital settings and affects nurses at all levels of practice (McCright, 2019). Incivility includes behaviors such as gossiping, ignoring coworkers, disrespectful communication, and bullying. These behaviors interfere with teamwork, increase stress, and reduce job satisfaction (McCright, 2019). Bedside nurses are especially affected because they work in high-pressure environments where collaboration is essential. The significance of this issue is well supported in nursing research. Nurses who experience incivility report higher levels of stress, emotional exhaustion, and decreased confidence (Altmiller, 2024). These effects may lead to impaired judgment, reduced productivity, and an increased risk of patient errors (McCright, 2019). Incivility also contributes to high turnover rates. Replacing a single bedside nurse can cost hospitals tens of thousands of dollars, creating financial strain and staffing instability.

    Case Study:

    Leg muscles save back muscles … Mandatory OSHA meeting Tuesday at noon. Bring lunch, states the company memo. Sandor Padilla, a 28-year-old cargo loader, sighs, Third meeting this year, and its not even June yet! He has only two minutes to reach the tarmac. Oh well, cargo waits for no man, he thinks as he jogs off to work.

    Sandor enjoys his job. It keeps him fit but lets his mind follow more creative avenues. Today, his thoughts stray to his daughter Reinas fifth birthday party, just two weeks away. A pony or a clown? Hot dogs or tacos? he muses. Single parenting has its moments. As he is busy thinking of other things, the heavy crate slips, driving him into a squatting position that injures his thigh muscles. His cry of pain brings Janet Wilson, his supervisor, running to help.

    The first aid station ices his leg to reduce swelling and pain. After the supervisor completes the incident report, Sandor is taken to the emergency room. Dr. Basra, the orthopedic specialist on call, diagnoses a tendon strain resulting in a torn left rectus femoris. A myorrhaphy is required to treat this injury. After several days in the hospital, Sandor is sent home with a Vicodin prescription for pain and orders for physical therapy sessions three times a week. He is not expected to return to work for at least 90 days.

    AirFreight Systems receives the first report of injury and compares it with the supervisors incident report. Ruling: Safety Violation. No Liability. Return to work in 30 days or dismissal.

    Discussion Questions:

    1. On what basis do you think AirFreight determined that this was a safety violation?
    2. Use lay terms to explain Sandors injury and the treatment that was required.
    3. Sandor knows how to handle heavy loads safely; however, the crate may have slipped because he was busy thinking about his daughters birthday party and not about his work. Could the responsibility for this accident be considered negligence on Sandors part? Do you think Sandor should be held responsible or is blameless in this situation?
    4. It was determined that AirFreight was not responsible for the accident. Therefore, do you think the company should take away Sandors job if he does not return in 30 calendar days?
