Abstract

This study examined the knowledge a small group of community nurses have of the Vietnamese culture. In our multi-cultural society nurses are being challenged to offer culturally appropriate care. Provision of care depends on an accurate assessment of health care needs which may differ from those of the dominant culture. The results indicated a lack of knowledge of the Vietnamese culture and the specific health care practices of the Vietnamese. This lack of knowledge is being rectified by in-service education.

摘要

本研究调查了一小群社区护士对越南文化的了解情况。在我们这个多元文化的社会中，护士面临着提供符合文化背景护理的挑战。护理的提供取决于对医疗保健需求的准确评估，而这些需求可能与主流文化的需求不同。结果表明，护士们缺乏对越南文化以及越南人特定医疗保健习俗的了解。目前正在通过在职教育来纠正这种知识欠缺的状况。
