Abstract

For some years now, the health care world has also been interested and influenced by issues related to immigration, integration, no integration, historical changes in our socio-anthropological field and cultural and linguistic differences; different worldviews and expectations, beliefs and non-evidence-based practices; prejudices and defense mechanisms for ethical and professional inability to care with patients with different cultures; scientific culture alongside a traditional and popular culture; little or no anthropological knowledge of many health professionals; improvised approaches to foreign patients, misunderstandings, tensions. The use of the cultural mediator is a very small part in the solution of the problem. Cross-cultural assistance represents the solution and it is a model, a discipline, a communication that allows an appropriate health care based on the cultural differences of the patients.
