Marginalized groups are those subcultures or people who have been separated from the mainstream. This may result in decreased access to health care and higher rates of mortality and morbidity. Some ways in which nurses can help these groups are by: increasing the health care knowledge of the community, seeking health care access, breaking down barriers and ensuring access to education and care (not breaking down barriers and traditions to Western medicine), and serving as role models for new nurses.
