There is limited literature available identifying and describing the instruments that measure cultural competence in nursing students and nursing professionals.
An integrative review was undertaken to identify the characteristics common to these instruments, examine their psychometric properties, and identify the concepts these instruments are designed to measure.
There were eleven instruments identified that measure cultural competence in nursing. Of these eleven instruments, four had been thoroughly tested in either initial development or in subsequent testing, with developers providing extensive details of the testing.
The current literature identifies that the instruments to assess cultural competence in nurses and nursing students are self-administered and based on individuals' perceptions. The instruments are commonly utilized to test the effectiveness of educational programs designed to increase cultural competence.
The reviewed instruments measure nurses' self-perceptions or self-reported level of cultural competence but offer no objective measure of culturally competent care from a patient's perspective which can be problematic. Comparison of instruments reveals that they are based on a variety of conceptual frameworks and that multiple factors should be considered when deciding which instrument to use.
关于识别和描述用于测量护理专业学生和护理专业人员文化能力的工具的文献有限。
进行了一项综合综述,以确定这些工具的共同特征,检查其心理测量特性,并确定这些工具旨在测量的概念。
共识别出11种用于测量护理文化能力的工具。在这11种工具中,有4种在初始开发或后续测试中经过了全面测试,开发者提供了详细的测试细节。
当前文献表明,评估护士和护理专业学生文化能力的工具是自我管理的,基于个人认知。这些工具通常用于测试旨在提高文化能力的教育项目的有效性。
所审查的工具测量护士的自我认知或自我报告的文化能力水平,但从患者角度没有提供文化胜任护理的客观测量,这可能存在问题。工具比较表明,它们基于多种概念框架,在决定使用哪种工具时应考虑多个因素。
