Cultural safety is the effective nursing practice of nursing a person or family from another culture; it is determined by that person or family. It developed in New Zealand, with origins in nursing education. An unsafe cultural practice is defined as an action which demeans the cultural identity of a particular person or family. Cultural safety has four separate principles: to improve health status and well-being to improve the delivery of health services to focus on the differences among the people who are being treated, and to accept those differences to focus on understanding the power of health services and on how health care impacts individuals and families Source: Wikipedia (en)
