Ethnonursing

Ethnonursing is a specialized approach to nursing that recognizes and respects the cultural beliefs, practices, and values of patients from diverse backgrounds. It involves understanding how cultural factors influence health, illness, and healthcare behaviors, and integrating this awareness into care plans. Ethnonursing promotes culturally sensitive communication, supports patient dignity, and aims to reduce health disparities by ensuring that care is respectful of, and tailored to, patients' cultural contexts. This approach improves patient trust, engagement, and health outcomes by honoring individual cultural identities within the nursing process.
