As the patient population continues to diversify, the need to provide care that is culturally and linguistically appropriate is intensifying. This study describes the perceptions of registered nurses (RNs) in Alabama hospitals regarding the training and resources available for providing culturally and linguistically appropriate care. The population consists of all RNs working in Alabama hospitals. A sample of 1976 RNs was obtained using an online survey. The findings indicate that although some resources and training are currently provided to nurses, the majority of respondents still lack sufficient resources and training to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate care. The lack of uniformity in resources and training makes it difficult to ensure that all healthcare providers are receiving the same information. However, hospitals do have the flexibility to tailor training to areas that are specific to their population needs.
随着患者群体日益多样化，提供符合文化和语言需求的护理的必要性日益增强。本研究描述了阿拉巴马州医院注册护士（RN）对提供符合文化和语言需求护理的培训及可用资源的看法。研究对象为在阿拉巴马州医院工作的所有注册护士。通过在线调查获得了1976名注册护士的样本。研究结果表明，尽管目前已向护士提供了一些资源和培训，但大多数受访者仍缺乏足够的资源和培训来提供符合文化和语言需求的护理。资源和培训缺乏统一性，难以确保所有医疗服务提供者都能获得相同的信息。不过，医院有灵活性根据其特定人群需求的领域来调整培训。
