Native American nurses are in an ideal position to articulate how to serve Native people in ways that respect indigenous cultures. Forty Native American nurses and nursing students completed a survey on knowledge, skills, and attitudes/values necessary for culturally competent service provision to Native patients. Four knowledge themes, four skill themes, and three attitude/value themes were identified. Nurses must know about and show respect for the culture and history of Native groups, including culturally specific health beliefs and healing practices. Skills must be tailored for work in a non-Western context, and containment skills become particularly important. Additionally, respecting diversity and traditions and being open-minded and nonethnocentric are fundamental. This study provides valuable information nurses can use to enhance their work with indigenous people.
美国原住民护士处于一个理想的位置，能够阐明如何以尊重本土文化的方式为原住民提供服务。40名美国原住民护士和护理专业学生完成了一项关于为原住民患者提供具有文化胜任力服务所需的知识、技能和态度/价值观的调查。确定了四个知识主题、四个技能主题和三个态度/价值主题。护士必须了解并尊重原住民群体的文化和历史，包括特定文化背景下的健康观念和治疗方法。技能必须针对非西方背景下的工作进行调整，控制技能尤为重要。此外，尊重多样性和传统、思想开放且不 ethnocentric（原文此处拼写有误，推测可能是ethnocentric，意为种族中心主义的，即去除此错误后）是至关重要的。这项研究提供了有价值的信息，护士们可以利用这些信息来加强他们与原住民的工作。
