Ensuring that the cultural composition of the nursing population reflects the multicultural mix of the general population assumes that culturally appropriate care will occur when people of non-English background (NESB) are encountered in nursing practice. In a feminist praxis study involving twenty-six nurse participants, seven of whom were of NESB, the nurses discovered that the structure of the health care institution not only overlooked the cultural and linguistic needs of children and NESB families, but also created a dominant Anglo-Australian health culture that taught NESB nurses to ignore the traditions and practices of their NESB culture. This paper will explore the nurses' discovery of their own collusion in sustaining an Anglo-Australian health care culture.
确保护理人员的文化构成反映出普通人群的多元文化组合，这意味着当护理实践中遇到非英语背景（NESB）的人群时，就会提供符合其文化背景的护理。在一项涉及26名护士参与者的女性主义实践研究中，其中7名护士是非英语背景，这些护士发现，医疗机构的结构不仅忽视了儿童和非英语背景家庭的文化和语言需求，还营造了一种占主导地位的盎格鲁 - 澳大利亚健康文化，这种文化教导非英语背景的护士忽视其自身文化的传统和习俗。本文将探讨护士们是如何发现自己在维持盎格鲁 - 澳大利亚医疗文化方面所起的推波助澜作用的。
