This article outlines the importance of cultural competence for student radiographers. The UK population is becoming more diverse in terms of ethnicity, the population is also made up of a much wider age range, varying genders and people of different sexual orientation, physical abilities and faiths. Radiographers need to be able to communicate with and care for people of all backgrounds. Radiographers need to be able to build relationships with service users based on mutual respect to provide optimum care despite personal differences. In order to prepare for this, service user involvement in the radiography curriculum is key. This article discussed the way in which service users are involved at one university. All of the strategies used enable students to learn about the different people that they will encounter in their professional role and to develop cultural competence. It is vitally important that student radiographers feel comfortable to interact with and care for service users from different backgrounds and cultures and to be able to demonstrate an awareness of and sensitivity to the range of issues and individual needs of every service user they may encounter in their professional role.
本文概述了文化能力对放射技师专业学生的重要性。英国人口在种族方面日益多样化，其人口还涵盖了更广泛的年龄范围、不同性别以及具有不同性取向、身体能力和宗教信仰的人群。放射技师需要能够与各种背景的人进行沟通并提供护理。放射技师需要能够在相互尊重的基础上与服务对象建立关系，以便不顾个人差异提供最佳护理。为了做好准备，让服务对象参与放射学课程是关键。本文讨论了一所大学让服务对象参与的方式。所采用的所有策略都能使学生了解他们在职业角色中将会遇到的不同人群，并培养文化能力。至关重要的是，放射技师专业学生要能够自在地与来自不同背景和文化的服务对象互动并提供护理，并且能够展现出对他们在职业角色中可能遇到的每个服务对象的一系列问题和个人需求的认识与敏感度。
