Abstract

Background

Exploring decolonization in nursing knowledge, particularly through Latin American nursologists, is crucial. Initially focused on underrecognized thought schools in Latin America and the concept of “Cuidado” versus Eurocentric paradigms, this paper extends the discussion on decolonization as potentially colonizing.

Purpose

This paper examines the decolonization discourse in nursing reinforcing colonization, arguing that the nursing metaparadigm remains Eurocentric, neglecting Global South contributions.

Methods

The article critically discusses emerging theoretical ideas and situational theories from Latin America relevant to decolonizing nursing knowledge, providing analysis and proposing decolonization paths in nursing.

Discussion

The paper calls for genuine decolonization, urging Global North scholars to engage with indigenous, marginalized, and non-Western perspectives. It stresses the importance of acknowledging historical injustices, fostering cultural sensitivity, and revising nursing curricula for inclusivity and equity.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the paper advocates for a transformative approach to nursing knowledge that challenges colonial legacies, promoting a more inclusive and equitable field.
