“…In Japan, immigrant women are at higher risk for mental health problems ( Luo & Sato, 2021a , 2021b ). Unsatisfactory health care, language barriers and poor access to health care services are also factors in health disparities ( Nagamine et al, 2022 ; Okamoto et al, 2022 ; Yasukawa et al, 2019 ). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2021) states that as health care providers, nurses can contribute to reducing health disparities by providing equal and equitable health care services to people of diverse backgrounds.…”

Introduction: The development of cultural sensitivity is essential for health care professionals but there are few tools to measure this quality in Japan. The purpose of this study was to develop a scale of cultural sensitivity for Japanese health care professionals and examine its reliability and validity. Method: A draft scale was created through conceptual analysis and a questionnaire was completed by 515 health care professionals and 1,322 college students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to determine suitable scale items and examine model fitness. Results: The four-factor 18-item scale showed acceptable model fitness. Cronbach’s α coefficient exceeded .90 and correlation coefficients for criterion-related validity were over .29. Construct validity was confirmed by the significantly higher score of the cross-culturally experienced groups. The intraclass correlation coefficient was .642 (professionals) and .722 (students). Discussion: This reliable and valid scale for Japanese health professionals and college students may be used to evaluate training programs to increase their cultural sensitivity.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common vasculitis syndrome that mainly affects children. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a tuberculosis (TB) infection without signs or symptoms. Here, we report the case of a boy who traveled from abroad, was diagnosed with KD at our hospital, and underwent multidisciplinary treatment, including anti-TNFα therapy. Subsequently, the patient was found to have LTBI and was administered anti-TB treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of LTBI in a KD patient receiving immunosuppressive therapy containing anti-TNFα.
