西班牙裔人口是美国规模最大、增长最快的少数群体，他们受到健康问题的影响尤为严重，包括心脏病、中风、糖尿病、肥胖、癌症和意外伤害。造成这些差异的因素包括文化习俗、缺乏获得医疗保健的机会、语言障碍以及医疗保健提供者缺乏文化能力。家庭、宗教和性别角色在西班牙裔人的文化遗产中发挥着重要作用，严重影响了该人群的健康状况。护士必须了解文化对健康的影响，以消除种族/民族健康差异，并为个人、家庭和社区提供公平和高质量的护理。本叙述旨在介绍西班牙文化中影响健康的一些基本文化因素和信仰。它还寻求提供对文化敏感实践的见解，以促进优质护理并解决该人群中的健康差异。

The Hispanic population is the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States, and is disproportionately impacted by health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and unintentional injuries. Factors contributing to these disparities include cultural practices, lack of access to health care, language barriers, and a lack of cultural competence by health-care providers. Family, religion, and gender roles play an essential part in the cultural heritage of Hispanic people, which heavily impacts health outcomes in this population. Nurses must be knowledgeable about the impact of culture on health to dismantle racial/ethnic health disparities and deliver equitable and high-quality care to individuals, families, and communities. This narrative aims to introduce some fundamental cultural factors and beliefs in the Hispanic culture that impact health. It also seeks to provide insights into culturally sensitive practices, to promote quality nursing care and address health disparities within this population.
