Canada-Brazil insights for global nursing: An exploration of cultures of community health nursing

This project is about understanding the culture and practice of nurses in the city of Niteroi, Brazil in the context of community health with women, children, and youth. The data collection will involve my personal observation of nurses practices with their clients, meetings with staff and decision makers, as well, as health and professional authorities. I also intend to learn about the culture of health in this city by participating in popular cultural events and activities. After completion of these culturally related activities, I will compare information gathered with what I currently know about the practice of community health nurses in Canada. An important step of my work will be to review, analyze and compare documents that frame the practice of nursing in both countries. TO BE CONT’D
