Abstract
Objective
The aim of the study was to generate a grounded theory explaining the latent pattern of behavior in transcultural care interactions in the context of pediatric cancer care, and to unify previously performed studies.
Methods
The basic tenets of classic grounded theory were applied on a theoretical sample of data from previous studies that included five focus group interviews with health care professionals (n = 35), and individual interviews with nurses (n = 12) and foreign-born parents (n = 11).
Results
Façading emerged as the core category and is the act of showing an outer appearance which will influence other people's interpretations. In transcultural interactions, façading might be misinterpreted related to different obstacles. Examples are given of different façades explored in pediatric cancer care including strength façading. Façading is a strategy aiming to protect oneself and others emotionally in care and includes: emotional façading and façading sensitive issues.
Conclusions
This grounded theory could help make health care professionals aware of different meanings of façading across cultures in health care. Also, awareness is needed of different views on emotional façading and façading sensitive issues to provide a congruent care.
