This paper is concerned with the utility of nursing theories in Slovene nursing. Slovene nurses cannot realistically expect help from randomly and uncritically selected nursing theories in the development of education curricula and further, should not blindly accept them in practice. This is essentially because existing theories have often been developed to help nurses from other countries work in different health and nursing environments. Slovene nurses can use different theories from other countries, but they need to be evaluated and tested in Slovene health and nursing environments before they are utilised. If not, they run the risk of being merely a professional/cultural imperialism imposed on Slovene nurses by those from other countries, therefore adding little advantage.

Key Words: nursing theory • cultural sensitivity • evaluation
