Cultural awareness of health care practices and beliefs is increasing, but knowledge regarding Hispanic folk remedies and health care practices and beliefs is limited. This study used a focus group interview format for an open discussion of folk remedies and the health and illness practices of the participants. Eleven Hispanic women participated in a group interview that addressed the question, How do Hispanic health beliefs affect health care practices? Specifically, what actions are taken to treat symptoms of illness or injury? Qualitative data analysis of the 75 symptom and treatment statements was completed, and data were grouped according to symptom and complexity of treatments. This resulted in a rich compilation of remedies that Hispanics use in home treatments, with the emergence of a pattern comparable to the nursing process. This information adds to the current knowledge base of cultural health practices and provides a basis for continued research.
对医疗保健实践和信仰的文化认知正在增强，但关于西班牙裔民间疗法以及医疗保健实践和信仰的知识却很有限。本研究采用焦点小组访谈形式，就民间疗法以及参与者的健康与疾病实践展开公开讨论。11名西班牙裔女性参与了一场小组访谈，该访谈探讨了以下问题：西班牙裔的健康观念如何影响医疗保健实践？具体而言，针对疾病或损伤症状采取了哪些行动？对75条症状及治疗陈述进行了定性数据分析，并根据症状和治疗的复杂性对数据进行了分组。这形成了一份关于西班牙裔在家中治疗时所使用疗法的丰富汇编，同时出现了一种与护理程序类似的模式。这些信息丰富了当前文化健康实践的知识库，并为后续研究提供了基础。
