Racism is an idea and belief that some races are superior to others (Harris et al., 2006a). This belief justifies institutional and individual practices that create and reinforce oppressive systems, inequality among racial or ethnic groups, and this creates racial hierarchy in society (Harris et al., 2006a). Recent studies have emphasised the impact of racism on ethnic health inequality (Harris et al., 2006a). In this article we analyse and discuss how nurses can challenge and reduce racism at interpersonal and institutional levels, and improve Māori health outcomes by understanding and using cultural safety in nursing practice and understanding Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
种族主义是一种认为某些种族优于其他种族的观念和信仰（哈里斯等人，2006年a）。这种信仰为建立和强化压迫性制度、种族或族裔群体之间的不平等的机构和个人行为提供了正当理由，进而在社会中造成了种族等级制度（哈里斯等人，2006年a）。最近的研究强调了种族主义对种族健康不平等的影响（哈里斯等人，2006年a）。在本文中，我们分析并讨论护士如何在人际和机构层面挑战和减少种族主义，以及通过在护理实践中理解和运用文化安全并理解《怀唐伊条约》来改善毛利人的健康状况。
