“…About two thirds of our respondents felt competent or very culturally competent, compared with 93% of the nurses in the study of Doorenbos et al (2016) who felt somewhat or very culturally competent. However, our results were 18% better than those reported by Cicolini et al (2015), in which only 44% of the Italian nurses perceived themselves to be somewhat or very competent. Unlike other studies (Cicolini et al, 2015;Heitzler, 2017;Repo et al, 2017), we found no relationship between CAS and variables such as the current clinical role, length of practice, age, education level, and prior diversity training.…”

The cultural competence of healthcare providers is a professional imperative and has been linked to increased health disparities (Prosen, 2015). In health care, cultural competence has been defined in multiple ways. Described by Schim and Doorenbos (2010) as an integration of personal cultural diversities, awareness, and sensitivity into everyday clinical practice, the American Nurses Association (2015) characterizes cultural competence as a process through which nurses deliver culturally congruent care for patients of a different or similar culture. According to Jeffreys (2010), cultural competence is defined as a multidimensional education process, which integrates the main factor, transcultural self-effectivity (self-confidence) with transcultural skills (cognitive, practical, and affective), and focuses on achieving culturally congruent care. In her model, Papadopoulos (2018) defined cultural competence as an ability to provide effective health care, with the

“…This finding was consistent with previous research which indicated that knowledge of cultural differences, including different groups of people, lifestyles, cultural values, habits, history and political issues plays a significant role in one's level of autonomy (Dekovic', Engels, Shirai, de Kort, & Anker, 2002). This finding was also consistent with previous research (Czerwionka¸ Artamonova, & Barbosa, 2014;Cicolini et al, 2015), indicating that prior experiences and exposure to diverse situations and people help to expand one's awareness in similar situations.…”

This study investigated relationships between cross-cultural competence, social support, and international students’ psychological adjustment. Participants included 94 international students studying in the United States. The researchers conducted a series of standard multiple regression analysis to predict autonomy and environmental mastery as measured by the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff & Keyes, 1995). They found significant positive relationships between autonomy and cross-cultural competence as measured by the Intercultural Competence Scale (ICCS; Fantini & Tirmizi, 2006), and environmental mastery and social support as measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS; Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, & Farely, 1988). A significant negative relationship was also found between length of residency in the host country, autonomy, and environmental mastery.

“…One million Italians report themselves as being homosexual, and 10.2% of them have experienced discrimination by health professionals because of their sexual orientation (Italian National Institute of Statistics [ISTAT], ), but there is currently no literature exploring the attitudes of Italian nurses, though one study reported they often care for LGBT patients (Cicolini et al., ). Thus, nurses’ strengths and challenges in providing care to sexual minorities are unknown.…”
