To an increasing extent, elder immigrants make use of institutional caring support. Immigrants in need of care--a new challenge or chance? Taking nursing homes as an example, it is shown that nursing even within our own cultural context is characterized by many phenomena of strangeness and unfamiliarity. Confronted with strangeness, nurses react with feelings of anxiety and fascination. Old people react predominantly with retreat in fantasies and confusion. Will the situation change fundamentally when elder immigrants are increasingly admitted into nursing homes? Which conditions should be created, so that we can accept strangeness as a ubiquitous phenomenon in nursing homes? And is there not a chance to introduce fundamental changes to our present concepts of nursing in general if we are willing to confront ourselves with issues of multicultural nursing?
越来越多的老年移民开始利用机构护理支持。需要护理的移民——是新挑战还是新机遇？以养老院为例，研究表明，即使在我们自己的文化背景下，护理工作也存在许多陌生和不熟悉的现象。面对陌生感，护士会产生焦虑和着迷的情绪。老年人主要以幻想退缩和困惑来应对。当越来越多的老年移民进入养老院时，情况会从根本上改变吗？应该创造哪些条件，以便我们能够将陌生感视为养老院中普遍存在的现象？如果我们愿意正视多元文化护理问题，是否就没有机会对我们目前的护理概念进行根本性的改变？
