From the Paper:

"The research indicates that the Transcultural, Self-Care and Adaptation Models each have their own specific elements that create unique approaches to nursing. However, within each of these theories there is a core concept that is associated with the person or the patient. In the Self-Care model the individual is trained to assist in his or her own care, while in the Adaptation Model the person adapts to the environment. In the Transcultural model the person is treated in relation to his or her own cultural beliefs, ensuring that the health care environment is aware of the needs of the patient."
