Cultural humility is a process of self-reflection and discovery in order to build honest and trustworthy relationships. It offers promise for researchers to understand and eliminate health disparities, a continual and disturbing problem necessitating attention and action on many levels. This paper presents a discussion of the process of cultural humility and its important role in research to better understand the perspectives and context of the researcher and the research participant. We discern cultural humility from similar concepts, specifically cultural competence and reflexivity. We will also explore ways to cultivate cultural humility in the context of human subjects research. Mindfulness is one approach that can be helpful in enhancing awareness of self and others in this process. With a foundation in cultural humility, nurse researchers and other investigators can implement meaningful and ethical projects to better address health disparities.
文化谦逊是一个自我反思和发现的过程，旨在建立诚实和值得信赖的关系。它为研究人员提供了一个理解和消除健康差距的机会，健康差距是一个持续存在且令人不安的问题，需要在多个层面上引起关注并采取行动。本文讨论了文化谦逊的过程及其在研究中的重要作用，以便更好地理解研究人员和研究参与者的观点和背景。我们将文化谦逊与类似的概念区分开来，特别是文化能力和反思性。我们还将探讨在人体研究背景下培养文化谦逊的方法。正念是一种在这个过程中增强自我和他人意识的有用方法。有了文化谦逊的基础，护士研究人员和其他研究人员可以实施有意义和合乎道德的项目，以更好地解决健康差距问题。
