The prevention and management of cancer have been identified as health priorities in most countries. In order to achieve this, many oncology nurses need to face the additional challenge of caring for patients from different cultures. This article progresses beyond previous literature, which generally adopts a solely multicultural approach, and explores the concepts of culture, values and racism with inter-related concepts such as self-awareness, cultural encounter, skills and cultural knowledge and their relationship to cancer nursing practice. The case is then argued for enhancing patient care through the application of these concepts to nursing practice.
在大多数国家，癌症的预防和管理已被确定为卫生工作重点。为实现这一目标，许多肿瘤护理人员需要面对照顾来自不同文化背景患者的额外挑战。本文超越了以往通常仅采用多元文化方法的文献，探讨了文化、价值观和种族主义等概念，以及自我意识、文化碰撞、技能和文化知识等相关概念，及其与癌症护理实践的关系。随后论证了通过将这些概念应用于护理实践来提高患者护理水平的观点。
