title: [Approach to foreigners--the contribution of ethnology to nursing].
abstract: The starting point of this analysis is the concept of "The stranger", as discussed in "transcultural nursing" in the USA and currently researched by cultural anthropologist. The aim is to designate common areas of interest between nursing sciences and cultural anthropology and between ethnological and nursing practice. It is pointed out that more space is needed in nursing theory and practice, for the discussion of the concept of "stranger" and that this should not be confined to the "exotic ethnic" stranger.
