The inclusion of principles of diversity in nursing education has yet to reach expected levels of common understanding and value. Integration of human diversity is an expected outcome based on essentials for professional nursing education by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. This article describes one approach that used electronic networking to integrate cultural diversity content into a graduate nursing curriculum. Regional networking among schools of nursing about cultural diversity resulted in the Community of Communities (COC) web page. The COC is a common electronic network that contains information and case studies based on a cultural assessment model. Modules in on-line courses are linked to a cultural module in the COC. Several applications are described herein. The COC modules were evaluated to determine if participants gained knowledge and insight into another culture. Findings suggested that students perceived that the COC modules increased the awareness culture plays in health care.
护理教育中纳入多样性原则尚未达到预期的普遍理解和重视程度。根据美国护理学院协会制定的专业护理教育要点，整合人类多样性是预期成果。本文描述了一种利用电子网络将文化多样性内容融入研究生护理课程的方法。护理学院之间围绕文化多样性开展的区域网络活动促成了“社区之社区”（COC）网页的出现。COC是一个通用电子网络，包含基于文化评估模型的信息和案例研究。在线课程中的模块与COC中的文化模块相链接。本文介绍了几个应用实例。对COC模块进行了评估，以确定参与者是否获得了对另一种文化的知识和见解。研究结果表明，学生们认为COC模块提高了对文化在医疗保健中所起作用的认识。
