This paper explores the relevancy of ethnohistory as a context in understanding the nature of social oppression in colonized countries. Colonization affects the social, political, and cultural fabric significantly. Nightingale's model of nursing prevailed through European colonial and post colonial period. Nurse Miss Sahib in the title is intended as an icon of the juxtaposition of caring and social oppression in a culture-bound education process in India. Leininger's Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality (1991) opens the door for understanding caring in the United States, and other countries where many recipients of caring have experienced various forms of social oppression, causing them to perceive and interpret actions of the care giver through the oppressed individual's lenses. Theory of oppression as conceptualized by Freire is drawn upon to examine how caring filters through each person's cultural lenses. Complex social phenomenon of education and health care in India illustrates the colonial cultural pattern as a dominant force. The nurse providing culturally congruent care must advocate empowering the care receiver through the nurse's awareness of the powerful impact of social oppression on health beliefs and practices which are guided by individuals' recollections and perceptions.
本文探讨民族史作为理解殖民地国家社会压迫本质的背景的相关性。殖民化对社会、政治和文化结构产生了重大影响。南丁格尔的护理模式在欧洲殖民时期和后殖民时期都很盛行。标题中的护士萨希布小姐旨在成为印度一种受文化束缚的教育过程中关怀与社会压迫并列的象征。莱宁格的文化关怀多样性与普遍性理论（1991年）为理解美国以及其他许多接受关怀者经历过各种形式社会压迫的国家中的关怀打开了大门，这使得他们通过受压迫个体的视角去看待和解读护理者的行为。借鉴弗莱雷所概念化的压迫理论来审视关怀是如何透过每个人的文化视角的。印度教育和医疗保健这种复杂的社会现象体现了殖民文化模式作为一种主导力量。提供文化相符护理的护士必须通过自身意识到社会压迫对由个人记忆和认知所引导的健康观念及行为的强大影响，倡导增强受护理者的权能。
