In recent years, cultural competence has appeared on the agendas of the medical profession as well as other health care providers. Through semistructured interviews with staff at different types of health care institutions, we explored the motivation for and barriers against the implementation of cultural competence training. The findings show that while some progress has been made, there is still work to be done in making cultural competency an integral part of the organizational fabric of health care. National organizations need to consider their leadership role in helping health care organizations translate broad statements of cultural competence into meaningful action.
近年来，文化能力已出现在医学专业以及其他医疗服务提供者的议程上。通过对不同类型医疗机构工作人员的半结构化访谈，我们探讨了实施文化能力培训的动机和障碍。研究结果表明，虽然已经取得了一些进展，但在将文化能力纳入医疗保健组织架构的组成部分方面仍有工作要做。国家组织需要考虑其在帮助医疗保健组织将文化能力的宽泛表述转化为有意义行动方面的领导作用。
