This article involves, on one hand, a synthetic review of existing links between anthropology and nursing and the potential contributions from one discipline to the other. On the other hand, from a personal point of view, an answer is sought to the questions: how to perform an investigation when the researcher works in a clinical area and has been trained in nursing as much as in anthropology? In any case, the methodological evidence of responding this question is remarked upon.
