“…This ensures that nurses have a proper cultural context that can promote the development of cultural sensitivity, cultural adaptability, and cultural motivation. This type of education is demanding for teachers, who need to have the most up-to-date information from professional literature, constantly evaluate self-esteem, and modify educational methods to develop cultural competence ( Prosen and Bošković, 2020 ). However, according to Faber (2021) , there is a wealth of evidence in literature where researchers present the effectiveness of cultural competence training in individual health professions to be more linguistically and culturally aware.…”

AimTraining for the development of cultural competence is often not part of the professional training of nurses within the European Economic Area. Demographic changes in society and the cultural diversity of patients require nurses and other medical staff to provide the highest quality healthcare to patients from different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, nurses must acquire the necessary cultural knowledge, skills, and attitudes as part of their training and professional development to provide culturally competent care to achieve this objective.ObjectiveThis review aims to summarize existing methods of developing cultural competence in nurses working in clinical practice.DesignA scoping review of the literature.MethodThe following databases were used: PubMed, ScienceDirect, ERIH Plus, and Web of Science using keywords; study dates were from 2011 to 2021.ResultsThe analysis included six studies that met the selection criteria. The studies were categorized as face-to-face, simulations, and online education learning methods.ConclusionEducational training for cultural competence is necessary for today’s nursing. The training content should include real examples from practice, additional time for self-study using modules, and an assessment of personal attitudes toward cultural differences.

Transcultural nursing is a discipline that emphasizes culturally competent care for diverse populations, recognizing the influence of culture on health beliefs, values, practices, and outcomes. It requires nurses to respect cultural differences and similarities, but faces challenges in curriculum design, faculty development, and student assessment. This paper explores transcultural nursing education’s current state and future directions, addressing the American Association of Colleges of Nursing essentials for integrating cultural content into nursing curricula, reviewing Madeleine Leininger’s transcultural nursing theory, diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts, and discussing the main challenges of transcultural nursing education, including lack of student diversity, training, and resources. Strategies to overcome these challenges include interprofessional collaboration, cultural immersion, and evidence-based practice. The paper concludes with how emergency department nurses should incorporate this into practice.

“…Increased demographic and cultural diversity due to global migration presents new challenges for healthcare professionals who have a legal, ethical, and moral responsibility to provide high-quality, equitable, culturally competent care (Prosen & Bošković, 2020). Nurses must consider the patients' cultural background to properly provide culturally appropriate care.…”

Aim: Increased cultural diversity due to global migration and on-going associated healthcare disparities has highlighted the importance of culturally competent care. We sought to summarize existing knowledge and identify gaps in research linked to the cultural challenges encountered by nurses when caring for patients from different cultures. Design: A scoping review. Methods: Informed by PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO Host, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using relevant MeSH keywords for articles published from 2010-2020. We then used a 3-step data screening and extraction process to manage retrieved articles. Results: Initially 80 studies were identified, six of which met inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis yielded five themes: lack of cultural knowledge, language barriers, micro-racism, lack of time to attend training and provide culturally competent care, and recommendations to improve care delivery. Conclusion: Nurses should be proactive and advocate for the necessary education and training to provide culturally competent care so critical to providing high-quality healthcare. More research, interventional and effectiveness in particular, is needed to address common challenges such as micro-racism and to facilitate the World Health Organization and National Academy of Medicine recommendations directed at providing culturally appropriate care to promote health equity.
