The key to delivering quality health care services in urban environments that are defined by sociocultural diversity is cultural competence. Does this make sense for those who work with low-income families or nursing professionals?
Literature from the scientific community
Echeverri (2016) and Chen (2016) have clarified the exact aims for including culture-specific content in the health care provider curriculum. Research has shown that training in cultural competence enhances healthcare workers’ abilities, knowledge and attitudes. Researchers stressed that educators must make informed curricular decisions to ensure culturally competent healthcare workers.
Shepherd et al. Shepherd et al. (2019). Investigate health care workers’ perceptions of culturally competent care as well as their experience working in multicultural settings. Researchers discovered that cross-cultural understanding was essential to cross-cultural communication. They recommended cross-cultural training and education as the best way to foster cultural awareness in health care workers. However, most firms hadn’t implemented all diversity-enhancing strategies.
Other researchers, such as Kaihlanen et al. (2018) examines nurses’ attitude towards the use of cross-cultural encounters to facilitate cultural competency training. The study found that training can be an effective way to make health care workers more culturally sensitive.
