    Cultural Competence in Nursing

    • Cultural competence refers to the ability to effectively interact with people from different cultures, races, ethnicities, genders, and sexualities.
    • It focuses on health equity through patient-centered care, requiring nurses to see each patient as a unique individual.
    • Nurses must understand and appreciate different cultural backgrounds to provide effective care, even when patients' beliefs and values conflict with conventional medical and nursing guidelines.

    Components of Culturally Competent Care

    • Awareness of one's cultural worldview: recognizing implicit biases and reacting to people with different backgrounds and cultural experiences.

    • Knowledge of different cultural practices and worldviews: continually improving understanding of values, beliefs, and practices associated with various cultural groups.

    Benefits of Culturally Competent Care

    • Social benefits: fostering mutual respect, understanding, and trust; promoting inclusion and patient responsibility for health; and increasing community participation in health issues.

    • Ensuring a medical interpreter is present for non-English speaking patients
