In this article, we argue that attaining equity, and therefore peace in health care delivery, necessitates that nursing and other health care professions more carefully attend to the sociocultural context in which health care is delivered. That sociocultural context includes culturally diverse patients, families, and communities, as well as health care providers who are themselves culturally diverse. We draw on findings from Almutairi's doctoral research with health care providers in Saudi Arabia to argue for what he has identified as critical cultural competence for health care providers. In so doing, we explicate the complexity of cultural and linguistic issues and power relations induced by race, class, and gender that can contribute to vulnerabilities for health care providers and recipients alike.
在本文中，我们认为，要实现公平，进而在医疗服务中实现和平，护理及其他医疗专业必须更加认真地关注提供医疗服务的社会文化背景。该社会文化背景包括文化多元的患者、家庭和社区，以及自身文化背景也各不相同的医疗服务提供者。我们借鉴了阿尔穆泰里对沙特阿拉伯医疗服务提供者的博士研究结果，来论证他所确定的医疗服务提供者至关重要的文化能力。在此过程中，我们阐述了由种族、阶级和性别引发的文化和语言问题以及权力关系的复杂性，这些因素可能会给医疗服务提供者和接受者都带来不利影响。
