This study aimed to explore how care workers in elderly nursing homes in Sweden perceive/reflect on their cultural backgrounds in their professional practices. The study used a qualitative approach and four migrantcare workers were interviewed using semi-structured questions. The analysis grounded in the Acculturation theoretical framework examined the perceptions and realities of care workers' cultural backgrounds, revealing that these backgrounds are perceived as both a resource and a challenge within their professional practices. Part of the findings underscore the complex role that cultural backgrounds play in shaping professional interactions and experiences. Integration strategy was the most prominent strategy employed by the migrantcare workers during their acculturation.
