This 2nd edition is a commitment to ensuring that nursing as a profession broadens its perspective towards the new health and care needs of the population.

It is a convergence of two disciplines, nursing and anthropology, and aims to contribute to that goal. It encourages nurses and nursing students to delve deeper into the cultural dimension of care through issues such as addiction, eating disorders and body image problems, loneliness, stress, and depression, among many others.

It serves as a pedagogical reference for the training of future nursing professionals, from a sociocultural, holistic, and ethical perspective; so necessary to respond to present and future challenges involving self-care and care for others in multicultural and diverse contexts. The richness of the narratives and literary texts used by the author to contextualize and illustrate care situations in diverse settings is noteworthy. The text's pedagogical value outlines reflective pathways that draw on the dialogical interrelation between nursing and anthropology, inviting readers to live in diversity, to be supportive, to move towards horizontal models of therapeutic relationships, and to be ethical and compassionate subjects in diverse care contexts and in times marked by precarity, complexity, and uncertainty.
