Abstract: The Intercultural Health Nursing Role explores the role of nurses in culturally diverse environments and the challenges they experience; among them the language, customs, traditions and the perspective of managing health and illness, using Madeleine Leininger's Theory as a theoretical basis to develop a work plan according to the patient's worldview without leaving aside their own ideologies rather integrate them into it, without influencing their treatment, in order to provide culturally competent care. This research uses a bibliographic documentary selection methodology that allows the information to be analyzed and evaluated. A search was carried out for scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024 in databases such as ScieLo, Dialnet, Pubmed and search engines such as Google Academic using Boolean operators to optimize relevant information in relation to the topic raised above. A nursing professional must be able to interact with people of different ideologies, which is why it is necessary to have correct communication accompanied by cultural attributes that help a nurse develop the ideal ability to interact with people from different cultural contexts, without discriminating or emitting prejudices that violate the patient's autonomy. This research aims to analyze the role of nursing in intercultural health where it highlights the importance of cultural competencies in nursing professionals in these environments and highlights the value of the application of Madeleine Leininger's Theory in academics and professional practice
