title: [Culture and nursing care, from a biomedical to an anthropological approach].
abstract: Nursing training and practice have for a long time taken a biomedical approach to disease and the body, which fails to guarantee treatment which takes into account the differences of each patient. With transcultural healthcare theories and practices, partly inspired by anthropology, patients are explicitly considered as subjects whose experiences are a result of cultural, ethnic and social dimensions.
