Objective: To describe the transcultural care actions offered by nurses in childcare, based on the identification of parental cultural practices towards newborns in a border region. Method: This is a qualitative study, conducted in the light of Madeleine Leininger's Transcultural Care Theory, with 18 nurses working in primary care in the municipality of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. Data was collected from January 2020 to January 2021 through semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed using Thematic Analysis. Results: Two categories were identified from the nurses' point of view. The first presents parental care for the newborn based on popular beliefs and knowledge; the second describes transcultural care actions (preservation, accommodation and restructuring) for the newborn in childcare. Final considerations: The identification of parental cultural practices in newborn care by nurses allows care to be planned so that it is culturally congruent, promoting healthy practices based on the families' cultural knowledge. It is suggested that the Transcultural Care Theory be adopted in Primary Health Care to guide health care practices, particularly in border regions.
