“…In China, misogyny has deleterious effects on the clinical performance of nurses (Lu et al, 2020). In Saudi Arabia, female nurses are considered less competent than males (Abou‐Hashish et al, 2020). In Afghanistan, inappropriate safety measures and cultural factors have affected clinical decisions in caring services (Jabarkhil et al, 2021).…”

To explore and analyse contextual challenges in nursing that have affected nurses' perceptions and role performance. Background: Health system hierarchy and patient/family-centred care has led to a high demand for skilled nurses. However, patriarchal organizations create challenges for nursing clinicians in Pakistan and elsewhere. Methods: A qualitative exploratory research (phenomenology) design was used. Twenty-five participants identified through purposive sampling contributed to the study. The data analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 Plus. We generated six major themes. Reporting was accomplished according to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research checklist. Results: Gendered division of labour places nurses in a submissive position in clinical practice. Decreases in nurse-to-patient ratio and increase in patient-focused care adversely affect evidence-based practice. The gap between theory and practice in delivering quality care is increasing due to existing communication barriers among healthrelated professionals and an inadequate work environment. Comparatively inactive nursing leadership and directorate roles are not improving the social image of nursing, and are promoting role conflict and poor nursing self-concepts among nurses. In fact, cultural shock experienced by young nurses has produced inherent disorientation in their professionalism and fostered displays of horizontal violence towards them by senior nurses. Conclusion: These challenges are influencing nurses' decisions to remain in or to join nursing as a profession that is confronted by severe recruitment and retention shortages due to the social and cultural stigmatization of this female dominated profession. Implications for nursing, health and social policy: This study promotes the concept of evidence-based practice to deliver quality health services in public hospitals and to improve the social status of nursing in Pakistan. It provides influential evidence to policymakers who should urgently address nurses' workplace health and safety issues as a global right.

Background Everyday, nursing students interact with culturally diverse clients. Nursing education recognizes that cultural competence is a necessary outcome of nursing programs. Nurse educators expect all nursing students to provide culturally congruent care to multicultural clients. Therefore, nurse educators must be culturally competent in order to prepare culturally competent nursing students for clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual training program on the cultural competence of academic nurse educators. Methods This randomized controlled study included nurse educators working in six nursing schools affiliated with medical universities of Kerman province in southeastern Iran. Sixty-nine nurse educators were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 35) and control (n = 34) groups. The training program consisted of three 2-hour sessions for a month. Cultural Diversity Questionnaire for Nurse Educators Revised (CDQNE-R) was used to evaluate the cultural competence of educators before and one month after the virtual training program. Results Both the intervention (3.29 ± 0.58) and control (3.24 ± 0.58) groups demonstrated a similar level of cultural competence before the training program (t = 0.05, p = 0.95). After the training, the intervention group showed a significant increase in cultural competence (3.80 ± 0.7) compared to the control group (3.23 ± 0.67). This improvement resulted in culturally competent participants becoming culturally proficient, as evidenced by a large effect size (t = -4.76, p = 0.001). Conclusion The virtual training program had a positive impact on the cultural competence of nurse educators. Given the importance of cultural competence in nursing education, continuing education programs that focus on strengthening the cultural competence of nurse educators should be prioritized. The experiences gained from implementing virtual training programs can serve as a valuable resource for nurse educators seeking to enhance their cultural competence.
