RESUMO
Se utilizó etnografía enfocada para identificar creencias, valores y prácticas de Promoción de la Salud y Calidad de Vida entre madres de preadolescentes en Argentina. Se describió la influencia materna en las elecciones que hacen los preadolescentes y la protección de los jóvenes ante comportamientos de riesgo. Los datos se obtuvieron de una muestra intencional de 10 madres con observación participante, entrevistas grabadas, notas de campo y diario personal suplementadas con genogramas y fotografías como opción. El análisis temático de los datos condujo al significado del rol materno en la protección de los hijos ante comportamientos de riesgo para la salud. También se identificaron 2 patrones de cuidado y los componentes del "buen vivir".

This study described how they influence their preadolescents' choices and protect them from risk behaviors. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 10 mothers, including participant observation, tape recorded interviews, field notes and personal diary, supplemented by genograms and used photographs as an option. Through content and theme analysis, we gained greater understanding of the role of mothers in protecting their children from health risk behaviors. We also identified the meaning of two care patterns and how the term "good life" made sense to them.

PURPOSE: To describe culturally embedded values that implicitly guide Filipino Canadian patients' interactions with Canadian nurses and are integral to nurse-patient relationships. DESIGN AND METHODS: A focused ethnography was conducted, with a purposive sample of 23 Filipino-Canadians who received care in Canadian hospitals. Data consisted of interviews, field notes, and diary. FINDINGS: When receiving care, patients delineated hindi ibang tao (one of us) and ibang tao (not one of us) and this determined their preference for who performed personal and private tasks or received information. The urgency of the patients' conditions, the intimacy required for most nursing procedures, and short hospitalizations meant that patients often interacted without progressing through the cultural levels of pakikitungo (formality), pakikibagay (adjustability), and pakikisama (acceptance). Rather, the crisis of being hospitalized forced patients to immediately move toward the cultural levels of pakikipagpalagayang-loob (mutual comfort) or pakikiisa (oneness). Patients' willingness to trust and to share their kapwa-oriented worldview in relating with fellow human beings, and their use of their languages of words, gaze, touch, and food, allowed nurses to become hindi ibang tao (one of us). Caregiving roles and establishing relationships also distinguished that hindi ibang tao (one of us) was to bantay (watch over) the patient, whereas ibang tao (not one of us) was expected to alaga (care for) them (i.e., provide professional care). CONCLUSIONS: Communicating and caring effectively requires understanding of Filipino Canadians' languages of words, gaze, touch, and food and their levels of interaction. Culturally safe nurse-patient relationships can then develop.
