klhmc729 40 Posts Apr 14, 2010 Boo I clicked on this thinking it would be a fascinating topic, and one close to my heart since my undergraduate degree was in anthropology. Glad to hear I'm "slightly less retarded" than my sociology counterparts that also contribute theory to psychosocial nursing. Frankly, the beauty of anthropology is that it looks at the human being as a whole and at the individual within the greater context of culture and society. I think it's a great basis for nursing, since it helps with recognizing that our patients are more than the sum of their diagnoses and that they do not exist in a vacuum. We often wonder why pts are not compliant, but if you are a patient and think that your illness is a result of someone giving you the evil eye, and people look at you like you're nuts and give you antibiotic pills, you probably aren't going to put any more stock in the antibiotics than your care team does in the evil eye theory...And, original poster, you're not going to succeed in nursing school trying to get someone else to do your homework.
