Cultural safety

Cultural Safety is a concept developed in New Zealand^[1] by nurses working with Māori that moves beyond the traditional concept of cultural sensitivity (being acceptable to difference) to analyzing power imbalances, institutional discrimination, colonization and relationships with colonizers. It develops the idea that to provide quality care for people from different ethnicities than the mainstream, health care providers must embraces the skill of self-reflection as a means to advancing a therapeutic encounter and provide care congruent with the knowledge that cultural values and norms of the patient are different from his/her own. The concept is spreading to other fields of human services and to other areas of the world, particularly in areas with strong minorities of indigenous people in former European colonies.
