Cultural competence [CC] is an essential component of nursing education and nursing practice yet there is a gap in the research evaluating CC in faculty and how to practically develop this skillset for faculty members.
To explore CC in faculty as evaluated with the Nurses' Cultural Competence Scale [NCCS] and apply the findings to the Purnell Model of Cultural Competence [PMCC] to guide professional development opportunities for faculty members.
This was a concurrent mixed-methods study.
Faculty members teaching in Texas nursing programs were recruited for the study. Quantitative data was collected using an online survey tool and qualitative data was collected over the phone.
89 Texas faculty members completed the quantitative strand and a subset of 10 faculty members completed the qualitative strand.
Descriptive statistics were used to examine the quantitative data and Strauss and Corbin's methodology guided the evaluation of the qualitative data. These two strands were used to support the results.
Faculty in Texas are moderately culturally competent. The qualitative findings support the application of the PMCC to the areas identified by the NCCS.
The PMCC may be applied to the application of culture and values in nursing professional education as supported by the NCCS. Recommendations are to include the PMCC as a structure for the creation of professional development opportunities for faculty.
文化能力（CC）是护理教育和护理实践的重要组成部分，但在评估教师的文化能力以及如何切实为教师培养这种技能方面，研究存在差距。
用护士文化能力量表（NCCS）评估教师的文化能力，并将结果应用于普尔内尔文化能力模型（PMCC），以指导教师的专业发展机会。
这是一项同步混合方法研究。
招募在德克萨斯州护理项目中授课的教师参与研究。使用在线调查工具收集定量数据，通过电话收集定性数据。
89名德克萨斯州的教师完成了定量研究部分，10名教师的子集完成了定性研究部分。
使用描述性统计分析定量数据，施特劳斯和科尔宾的方法指导定性数据的评估。这两部分用于支持研究结果。
德克萨斯州的教师具有中等文化能力。定性研究结果支持将PMCC应用于NCCS确定的领域。
在NCCS的支持下，PMCC可应用于护理专业教育中文化和价值观的应用。建议将PMCC作为为教师创造专业发展机会的框架。
