Abstract
CASTILLO, Liliana Orozco and LOPEZ-DIAZ, Lucero. Cultural competence of nurses in public health with indigenous population. av.enferm. [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.1, pp.9-18. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v37n1.68513.
Objective:
To identify elements of cultural competence (CC) in Public Health Nurses (PHN) when they care for indigenous embera-chami.
Methodology:
Interpretive ethnography with participant observation and deep interviews with ten contributors. Analysis of data based on the proposal Leininger with support of the ATLAS.ti and Excel programs.
Results:
The cultural pattern allows for identifying the PHN ability to analyze their own culture, to know, understand and interact with the indigenous culture and mediate through communication characterized by empathy, adaptation of verbal and non-verbal language, aspects that show respect for the indigenous singularity, in a context of harmony with the institutional policies based on indigenous culture.
Conclusion:
CC of PHN is a broad process, both PHN with the community and the articulation with institutional policies addressing the indigenous world view.
