The concept of cultural safety, developed by indigenous nurses in the postcolonial climate of New Zealand, has not been widely examined in North America. In this article we explicate the theoretical and methodological issues that came to the forefront in our attempts to use this concept in our research with different populations in Canada. We argue that this concept prompts us to "think critically" about ourselves and our patients, and to be mindful of our own sociocultural, economic, and historical location. This critical reflection has implications for how we live, relate to one another, and practice in our various professional disciplines. On the basis of our findings, we discuss how the concept might be rewritten within a critical postcolonial and postnational feminist discourse.
文化安全的概念由新西兰后殖民环境下的本土护士提出，在北美尚未得到广泛研究。在本文中，我们阐述了在加拿大针对不同人群的研究中尝试运用这一概念时所凸显的理论和方法问题。我们认为，这一概念促使我们对自身和患者进行“批判性思考”，并留意我们自己的社会文化、经济和历史背景。这种批判性反思对我们的生活方式、彼此关系以及在各个专业领域的实践都具有影响。基于我们的研究结果，我们探讨了如何在批判性后殖民和后民族女性主义话语中重新阐释这一概念。
