The number of people with another culture is increasing in Sweden. This change in society brings consequences in health care that has not any methods to manage. The Muslim woman’s meeting with the health care is one of those areas. The aim with this study was to describe the nurses meeting with female Muslim patient. The study carried out as a literature study and the results which based on 9 articles showed the lack of knowledge about culture and religion among health care staff. The authors further believed that to achieve an adequate result with meeting between staff and patient requires knowledge about different culture and religion. The study shows furthermore a necessity for nurses training individually to create instinct in how their own cultural opinion affects the nurse in her/his profession. The patients felt like nurses had a stereotype to doing their job and got very difficult to satisfy patients with the needs. In view of the circumstances it notifies proposals to improvement in the existing health care through curses and seminars about culture and religion but even concrete information about Islam and Muslim female patient’s needed in an institutional care. Madeleine Leininger’s theory of culture care was used as the conceptual framework and support for the study.
