With the increasing diversity in the American population, it is imperative that nurse practitioners learn to manage patients with varying healthcare beliefs and needs. In order to develop culturally competent nurse practitioners, a number of methods have been developed. Many of the current methods focus on improving the awareness and knowledge of nurse practitioners regarding diverse populations. However, very few of the current programs focus on improving the skills and increasing the encounters the students have with diverse populations. This paper focuses on providing nurse practitioner students with diverse encounters using culturally enhanced standardized patient scenarios. The standardized patient programs provide nurse practitioner students with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills related to cultural competency in a safe environment where the students can practice communication and physical assessment skills as they receive feedback from the patients they are seeing.
随着美国人口多样性的不断增加，执业护士学会管理具有不同医疗保健观念和需求的患者变得势在必行。为了培养具有文化胜任力的执业护士，已经开发了多种方法。当前的许多方法都侧重于提高执业护士对不同人群的认识和知识。然而，当前很少有项目侧重于提高技能以及增加学生与不同人群的接触机会。本文重点介绍如何通过文化强化的标准化患者情景为执业护士学生提供多样化的接触机会。标准化患者项目为执业护士学生提供了在安全环境中培养与文化胜任力相关的知识和技能的机会，在这个环境中，学生在接受所诊治患者的反馈时可以练习沟通和体格检查技能。
