“…In a recent study of attitudes, preferences, and perceived barriers to treatment for PPD in culturally diverse women, barriers to mental health care were identified as lack of time, stigma, and childcare issues. Study participants preferred to receive mental health services at obstetric clinics and identified the need to have understanding from a confidante, to receive support without having to ask for it, and to feel socially connected (Goodman, 2009 Nurses have a holistic view on the care of women across the childbearing year, and are leaders in the field of culturally competent care (Beck, 2008a;Douglas, Pierce, Rosenkoetter, Callister, Hattar-Pollara, Lauderdale, et al, 2009;Morrisey, 2007;Posmontier & Horotwitz, 2004). We should now take the lead in research about PPD in varied cultures, and then develop appropriate interventions to help the most women possible.…”

The purpose of this article is to describe what the literature has shown about postpartum depression (PPD) in culturally diverse women. The majority of qualitative studies done with women identified as having PPD have been conducted with Western women, with the second largest group focusing on Chinese women. This article reviews the qualitative studies in the literature and discusses how the management of PPD in technocentric and ethnokinship cultures differs. Social support has been shown to be significantly related to fewer symptoms of PPD, and culturally prescribed practices may or may not be cultural mediators in decreasing the incidence of PPD. Nurses should be sensitive to the varied ways in which culturally diverse women perceive, explain, and report symptoms of PPD. Exemplary interventions for culturally diverse women suffering from PPD are examined in this article as well, although it is clear that additional research is needed to develop models for culturally competent interventions for PPD in culturally diverse women and to document the outcomes of such interventions.

“…The IOM Future of Nursing report (2010) recommends the following policy changes to move nursing forward which hopefully will enhance culturally competent care and reduce health disparities: 1) remove scope-of-practice barriers, 2) expand opportunities for nurses to lead and diffuse collabora tive improvement efforts, 3) implement nurse residency programs, 4) increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80 percent by 2020, 5) double the number of nurses with a doctorate by 2020, 6) ensure that nurses engage in lifelong learning, 7) prepare and enable nurses to lead change to advance health, and 8) build an infrastructure for the collection and analysis of inter --professional health care workforce data. Furthermore, to better meet the healthcare needs of diverse populations in the future, the nursing workforce needs to be more diversified (Douglas et al, 2011;IOM, 2010). Policies focusing on recruiting a more racially and ethnically diverse nursing workforce is a key step in addressing health disparities and culturally competent care.…”

ConclusionResults from this research study continue to demonstrate the need for additional formal education and continuing education in providing culturally competent care to patients and families. KeywordsCultural competence, nurses, continuing education, research, policy One major challenge confronting nurses is the provision of culturally competent care to an increasingly diverse society. Individuals seek healthcare with unique cultural needs, beliefs, and behaviors. Providing patient and family-centered care requires that nurses recognize the patient and family's culture, the nurse's culture, and how both affect the care-receiving and care-giving relationship.Leininger is considered the pioneer in the field of transcultural nursing. In her seminal work Nursing and Anthropology: Two Worlds to Blend, Leininger (1970) Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' perceptions of their cultural awareness, knowledge, skills, and comfort level in caring for patients and families from diverse populations. MethodsUsing a prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study design, 2,000 surveys were sent to registered nurses in a southeastern state in the United States. Three hundred seventy-four nurses participated which provided a 19.3% response rate. ResultsParticipants reported a moderate level of cultural awareness, but perceived low levels of cultural knowledge, skill, and comfort in patient encounters and situations. Participants noted that cultural diversity training was lacking in basic nursing education, and in workplace continuing education programs. Multiple regression analysis indicated that higher nursing degree was predictive of greater knowledge of cultural competence.

“…Douglas and colleagues (2011) proposed 12 standards of practice that nurses should use when caring for diverse individuals. Finally the standards urge that there should be formal education on the principles of culturally-appropriate care based on evidence and movement toward a multicultural workforce to ensure that appropriate care is provided (Douglas et al, 2011). The standards also call nurses to reflect upon their own beliefs in order to assess the manner in which personally held values influence care.…”

The clarion call from the Institute of Medicine for cultural competency along with nursing standards of cultural care and education on competencies of care for diverse groups are entertained in this column. Ideas from the humanbecoming family model will also be discussed as they relate to cultural care. Finally, a simple solution to the problem of attaining cultural competence by healthcare providers is proposed.
