This commentary offers a critique of cross-cultural comparisons of health care systems between the United States and less economically developed nations. Two main issues are discussed: the abuse of power in such comparisons and the reluctance of nurses from the United States to address conditions of suffering in their own country. Recommendations are given to increase sensitivity of nurses.
Despite growing transnational migration between the United States and Latin American countries, culturally relevant conceptualizations of spirituality among Latinas/os remain lacking in healthcare research. Grounded in Latina feminist theology, this article elucidates cultural values that influence spirituality and describes findings from a study using a new questionnaire to explore spirituality among Latinas in Puerto Rico and the US mainland. Results support the saliency of cultural values such as personalismo and familismo as the context for spiritual perspectives, which may function independently of the Catholic Church structure.
