[Finding the original meaning of nursing care].

At the end of the 20th century, a return to the true origin of health care appears, even though this has occurred only in a few services such as those which care for the elderly; when nurses confront dilemmas related to the fundamental questions of life and death; or before the impotence of some treatments, for example AIDS. In a parallel vein, work carried out over these past few years allows us to find the roots of health care and to recuperate its original meaning. Care and treatment are universal and all appear and are elaborated around the two great moments in life: birth and death.

Using anthropology to analyse healthcare situations.

An anthropological approach to caring has much to offer practising health workers, especially nurses. While its attitude towards knowledge differs from that used in much traditional medical and clinical education, its capacity to draw on the observations and life experiences of both carers and those cared for in the design of care plans can provide insights and information crucial to recovery and to an extended healthy life. This article models Claude Lévi-Strauss' structural anthropological method within nursing care situations.
