    Cultural Competency: A Case Study

    Nurses need to be culturally sensitive to provide competent care. The cumulative diversity within the healthcare workforce itself has received much less attention; yet without attending to increasing diversity in both groups, it is doubtful that efforts to improve cultural competence will be successful. One may be aware of many different cultures, but due to one’s biases, he or she will still not provide the appropriate care. In order for healthcare providers to become culturally competent they need to have the desire, skills, awareness and knowledge. Cultural competence among primary care givers is crucial to identify problems and create proper plans of care for the patient.…

    Cultural Competency and Cultural Humility in Nursing Practice

    The diversity of America’s population continues to increase. The challenges of providing cultural sensitivity to a multi cultural America is an important variation healthcare organizations must be aware of. In an attempt to standardize terms and concepts to explain cultural competency to student nurses, the Purnell Model was developed by Larry Purnell, PhD. The Purnell model is a guide to adapting care that takes into account the diversity of beliefs from a variety of cultures. It is based on multiple theories and research. A circular schematic was developed that contains 12 domains (pieces of pie) or considerations. They include and represent the person’s: heritage, language, family roles, issues in workforce, bio cultural ecology, high risk behaviors, nutrition, pregnancy, death rituals, spirituality, health care practices and health care providers. Within the 12 domains it addresses: sociology, psychology, anatomy and physiology, biology, ecology, nutrition,…

    Cultural Competence In The Health Care System

    The presence of cultural competence in the health care system and what it means for the health of our diverse population, is something that should be part of the schooling for healthcare providers. Cultural Competence in the health care system is described as the ability to tend to the needs of patients through understanding their linguistic and cultural differences. Our vast, diverse population in the United States makes cultural competence in health care imperative. Without it, we cannot provide other cultures with the effective and comforting health care they need and deserve. In order for culturally diverse people to receive the proper health care they need, health care practitioners must be well versed in other cultures. Their ability…

    Culturally Competent Nursing Care

    Thank you for feedback regarding the importance of therapeutic communication in delivering care. While conducting research, I stumbled upon an interesting website entitled Think Cultural Health designed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS); Office of Minority Health. The website contains a wealth of knowledge, promoting cultural competency in healthcare. One interesting feature is an e-learning program entitled Culturally Competent Nursing Care: A Cornerstone of Caring, which was created to provide health care professionals with the skills necessary to deliver cultural and linguistically competent care (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). This e-learning course is a great resource for anyone looking…

    Cultural Competence In Health Care

    Cultural competence in health care is the ability of providers and health care systems to integrate and deliver highest quality of care regardless of race and culture background. Individual values about health are shaped by their race and socioeconomic status. In order to improve patient and provider interactions they should recruit minority staff, training on cultural awareness, and knowledge about different cultures in their geographic area. These changes will take time but it will build patient trust with their provider and promote high quality health care.…

    Cultural Competence - Is It Necessary

    Cultural competence in health care combines the beliefs of patient centered care with an understanding of the social and cultural influences that affect the quality of medical services and treatment. With the ever increasing diversity of the population of the United States and strong evidence of racial and ethnic disparities in health care, it is critically important that health care professionals are educated specifically to address issues of culture in an effective manner. Organizations such as the National Academies of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine and the American Medical Association have recognized this.” (OMH - Ofiice of Minority Health)…

    Cultural Competence In Nursing

    Cultural competence in nursing is defined as the incorporation of personal cultural diversity experience, awareness, and sensitivity into everyday practice ( Schim & Dorenbos,2010; Schim, Dorenbos, Benkert, & Miller, 2007). A nurse that is culturally competent will be able to gain the trust, understanding, and utmost respect of a patient that has a different cultural background or holds a different set of beliefs. Cultural competence is important now more than ever as the population grows and becomes more racially diverse. Asians and non white Hispanics are the largest growing minority groups in the United States, and a culturally competent nurse will be able to deliver care to every patient they encounter. Hispanics are less likely than the…
