家庭卫生工作被定义为日常的家庭活动，这些活动通常是无形的，创造了健康环境和健康个人的支柱。本文介绍了一个样本的当代墨西哥裔美国妇女在国内卫生工作中的作用。使用人种学设计，13个中度到高度文化适应的妇女进行了采访，以确定其在家庭卫生工作中的作用。妇女的作用分为两大类：为人父母和照顾家庭。这项研究的结果突出了在这个样本中的多重角色的负担和冲突，并提供了洞察当代墨西哥裔美国妇女保持文化定义的角色，他们认为是重要的过程。它还解决了他们认为在文化上不必要的负担。这项研究具有重要意义的护士在社区和家庭的背景下工作，因为它阐明了妇女在家庭卫生工作中的作用，并指出社区护士需要了解墨西哥裔美国妇女的许多声音。
Domestic health work is defined as the day‐to‐day household activities, which are often invisible, that create the backbone of healthy environments and healthy individuals. This article describes the roles of a sample of contemporary Mexican American women in domestic health work. Using an ethnographic design, 13 moderately to highly acculturated women were interviewed to determine their roles in domestic health work. Women's roles fell into two broad categories: being a parent and caring for the family. The findings from this research highlight the burden and conflict of multiple roles in this sample and provide insight into the processes by which contemporary Mexican American women maintain culturally defined roles that they feel are important. It also addresses the burdens that they feel are culturally unnecessary. This research has significance for nurses working in the context of the community and the household in that it explicates women's roles in domestic health work and points to the need for community‐based nurses to be aware of the many voices of Mexican American women.
