South Africa is a diverse democratic country. Touching or to be touched by a stranger is frowned upon because it challenges cultural and religious beliefs of an individual. Nursing students are not well-prepared to provide intimate care or touch to diverse patients. Therefore, this model advocates for intimate care facilitation in Nursing Education institutions so that Nursing students can establish a nurse-patient intimate relationship, based on respect and trust. If Nursing students are prepared to provide intimate care and touch; they will be able to execute it competently, confidently and comfortably. This session will give an overview of this model.
