The article reviews some of the more influential literature of the past decade on the health needs of ethnic groups, in an effort to identify what is being done by nursing and midwifery education to address the health care needs of these groups and to prepare practitioners who are able to respond to these needs. The article suggests that despite the relative lack of progress in this field of health care and education, there still exists much confusion, disagreement and lack of clarity around many issues, such as the identification of relevant content, the integration of this content into the curriculum and more importantly the delivery of this content. The literature seems to point to a lack of cultural knowledge, particularly for certain ethnic groups, which needs to be rectified. But even when knowledge is available, the evidence clearly indicates that both educators and practitioners are failing to translate this into effective and culturally sensitive care. The article suggests that nursing and midwifery education could and should play an important role in the development and dissemination of culturally sensitive care.
本文回顾了过去十年中一些关于少数民族健康需求的更具影响力的文献，旨在确定护理和助产教育在满足这些群体的医疗保健需求方面正在采取哪些措施，以及培养能够应对这些需求的从业者。文章指出，尽管在医疗保健和教育领域相对缺乏进展，但围绕许多问题仍存在诸多困惑、分歧和不明确之处，例如相关内容的确定、将此内容整合到课程中，更重要的是该内容的传授。文献似乎表明缺乏文化知识，尤其是针对某些少数民族群体，这需要得到纠正。但即使有了知识，证据也清楚地表明，教育工作者和从业者都未能将其转化为有效且具有文化敏感性的护理。文章认为，护理和助产教育可以而且应该在发展和传播具有文化敏感性的护理方面发挥重要作用。
