Abstract

Background

The Ubuntu philosophy which emanates from the African saying, muthu ndi muthu nga vhathu, a person is a person because of other persons, resonates with nursing ethics.

Purpose

To describe the views of nurses and healthcare users on the development of the Ubuntu community model in nursing.

Methods

A Participatory Action Research approach was used. The participants were professional nurses and healthcare users in three selected provinces in South Africa. Data were gathered through focus group discussions. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.

Findings

The following themes were identified: the value of a person/human being; human beings are part of nature; values in nursing; principles of Ubuntu in health; and Ubuntu caring actions.

Discussion

By upholding foundational values and principles of Ubuntu, healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, should aim to foster dialogue, empower patients, promote their emancipation, engage with them, and enable the people under their care.

Conclusion

Ubuntu serves as a lens through which nursing can engage with South African populations to design and implement best care for population-specific care outcomes. Understanding the principles and values of Ubuntu can assist nursing students and practicing nurses in developing a moral consciousness that embodies the spirit of Ubuntu, thereby enhancing their ability to address health disparities and improve health outcomes.

护士和医疗保健用户对南非部分省份护理工作中 "乌班图 "社区模式发展的看法：参与式行动研究

背景 "乌班图 "哲学源自非洲的一句谚语："muthu ndi muthu nga vhathu"，即一个人之所以是一个人，是因为有其他人，这与护理伦理产生了共鸣。参与者为南非三个选定省份的专业护士和医疗保健用户。通过焦点小组讨论收集数据。研究结果确定了以下主题：人/人类的价值；人类是自然的一部分；护理工作中的价值观；乌班图健康原则；乌班图关爱行动。讨论通过坚持 "乌班图 "的基本价值观和原则，医疗保健专业人员，尤其是护士，应致力于促进对话、增强患者能力、促进患者解放、与患者接触，并使其所护理的人群能够获得能力。了解 "乌班图 "的原则和价值观可以帮助护理专业学生和执业护士培养体现 "乌班图 "精神的道德意识，从而提高他们应对健康差异和改善健康结果的能力。
