Abstract:
AIM:This study explored the relationship between the traditional care culture and the Western nursing culture. BACKGROUND:Cameroonians are highly dependent on seeking medical aid from traditional healers and medicines, despite the emergence of contemporary health practices that are provided by Western nursing care. METHODS:This study was conducted based on Bourdieu's praxeological approach using observational and descriptional research, and interviews. RESULTS:While the traditional care culture and the Western nursing culture practices coexist, there are also conflicts and challenges. The people of Cameroon prefer the availability of both health care forms because they are provided with options in terms of the care they are offered and can afford. CONCLUSION:Traditional care culture practices can be combined with the contemporary practices of Western nursing care. Both health care forms have advantages, and when integrated, they can contribute to providing more effective health care practices that can improve health care services in Cameroon.
