Scope

• This title publishes original research, mid-range theory and evidence-based practice at the meeting point of culture and health care, and it aims at care that fits the values of the people it serves.该刊在文化与医疗照护的交汇点发表原创研究，中程理论与循证实践，力求让照护契合服务对象的文化价值。
• Its stated scope is the dissemination of peer-reviewed transcultural nursing science, treated as the foundation on which culturally congruent care is built.其办刊范围是传播经同行评审的跨文化护理科学，并把这门科学视为文化一致照护得以建立的基础。
• Congruence is read at the level of the individual, the family, the community and the population, so the remit reaches across national borders rather than stopping at one country.所谓文化一致性，落在个体，家庭，社区与人群各个层面，因而其视野跨越国界，不停留在单一国家之内。
• Culture is interpreted broadly, and articles take in age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, class, religion and the social determinants of health.这里的文化作广义理解，文章因而涉及年龄，性别，种族，族群，性取向，阶层，宗教以及健康的社会决定因素。
• Organisational norms and the routines of clinical settings also enter the frame, since they shape how culturally different patients are met and treated.组织规范与临床环境的日常流程同样在框架之内，它们塑造着文化各异的患者被如何接待与照护。
• Cultural competence and cultural congruence form a steady strand, running from teaching tools to bedside assessment instruments.文化胜任力与文化一致性构成一贯的主线，从教学工具到床旁评估量表都有涉及。
• Migration, refugee resettlement and the movement of nurses between health systems recur through the archive from the earliest volumes.人口迁移，难民安置，以及护士在医疗体系之间的流动，从最早几卷起就在过刊中反复出现。
• Internationally qualified nurses and the barriers that stand between their training and their local registration draw regular attention.国际合格护士，以及横亘在其受训资历与本地执业注册之间的障碍，时常成为讨论议题。
• Maternal and child health and women's health are examined through a cultural lens, and the work reaches into diet, childbirth practice and family decision-making.母婴健康与女性健康被置于文化视角下考察，研究延伸到饮食，分娩习俗与家庭决策。
• Chronic illness and self-management sit alongside this strand, with frequent study of diabetes care among Hispanic and other communities.慢性病与自我管理与这一脉络并列，其中针对拉美裔及其他族群的糖尿病照护研究颇为常见。
• Mental health care, rural mental health included, and palliative and end-of-life care across cultures also fill its pages.心理健康照护（含乡村心理健康），以及跨文化的临终与安宁疗护，同样占据该刊篇幅。
• Nursing education for diverse societies is a core concern, so studies of student preparation, curriculum and clinical placement appear often.面向多元社会的护理教育是核心关切，学生准备，课程设置与临床实习方面的研究因而屡见不鲜。
• Health equity and health disparities run beneath much of this work, tying culture to access, quality and outcomes of care.健康公平与健康不平等潜藏在多数研究之下，把文化与照护的可及性，质量和结局相连。
• Methodologically the journal accepts quantitative, qualitative and mixed designs, and it publishes conceptual and theoretical papers on the same footing.方法上该刊接受量化，质性与混合设计，概念性与理论性论文也享有同等待遇。

History

• The journal was founded in 1989, and its first volume begins with issue one of that year.该刊创刊于 1989 年，第 1 卷自当年第 1 期起算。
• It was launched as the official journal of the Transcultural Nursing Society, an organisation whose national form dates to 1974.它作为（Transcultural Nursing Society）的官方刊物创办，这一学会的全国性形态可追溯到 1974 年。
• Madeleine Leininger, the theorist who gave the field its name and its Sunrise Model, founded the journal and steered its early issues.为这一领域命名并提出日出模式（Sunrise Model）的理论家（Madeleine Leininger）创办了该刊，并主持其早期各期。
• The first imprint placed publication at the College of Nursing of the University of Tennessee in Memphis, working for the society and its members.最初的出版署名落在田纳西大学孟菲斯分校的护理学院，替学会及其会员出刊。
• SAGE Publications of Thousand Oaks, California took over the printing and distribution in 1999, and that imprint has run without a break since.加州千橡市的 SAGE Publications 于 1999 年接手印制与发行，这一署名此后一路延续，未曾中断。
• Volume numbering never broke, so the 2026 issues belong to volume 37 and the online archive reaches back to volume one.卷号一路连续，2026 年各期属第 37 卷，在线过刊可回溯到第 1 卷。
• It now carries six numbered issues within each volume-year, a bimonthly rhythm that later catalog records still render loosely as quarterly.它如今在每个卷年内出 6 个编号期，属双月节奏，只是部分编目记录仍笼统地记作季刊。
• The print ISSN is 1043-6596, the electronic edition runs under 1552-7832, and articles carry DOIs on the SAGE prefix 10.1177.印刷版 ISSN 为 1043-6596，电子版用 1552-7832，文章的 DOI 落在 SAGE 前缀 10.1177 之下。
• Indexing runs through both Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, so the title is tracked in two Web of Science editions.收录遍及 Science Citation Index Expanded 与 Social Sciences Citation Index，两个 Web of Science 版别都追踪该刊。
• MEDLINE and PubMed have carried it from volume one in 1989, while the International Nursing Index listed it through 1989 to 1999 before fading.MEDLINE 与 PubMed 自 1989 年第 1 卷起收录，国际护理索引则覆盖 1989 至 1999 年，其后逐渐淡出。

• In that report year the journal held 76 citable items and 2368 citations, a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.69 and a cited half-life of 7.8 years.在该年度它收录 76 篇可引用文献，被引 2368 次，期刊引证指标为 0.69，被引半衰期为 7.8 年。
• Journal Citation Reports ranks it in the second quartile of Nursing at 95 of 194 titles, with a JIF percentile of 51.3 and a CiteScore near 4.6.《期刊引证报告》把它排在护理学第二四分位，于 194 份刊中列第 95，JIF 百分位为 51.3，CiteScore 接近 4.6。
• Subscription stays the default, so the journal reads as hybrid rather than fully open, with about 21.94 per cent of 2025 content published as gold open access.订阅制仍是默认模式，该刊因此属混合而非全开放，2025 年约 21.94% 的内容以金色开放获取形式发表。
