BACKGROUND
Although more than 75% of veterans and their families are accessing care in non-Veterans Affairs (VA) settings, there is little information about health care workers, specifically registered nurses (RNs)' ability to provide culturally competent and appropriate care to military veterans and their families.
PURPOSE
The purpose was to examine the capacity of RNs working in non-VA hospitals to deliver culturally competent health care to military veterans and their families.
METHODS
A prospective survey design was carried out with nurses from a large academic health system. The RAND Corporation's Ready to Serve web-based survey was adapted with permission for use with RNs employed in civilian urban and community hospitals. In addition to reporting descriptive statistics on demographics and each individual item, a score was calculated to define high cultural competency.
RESULTS
Twenty-five (4%) RNs demonstrated the capacity to deliver culturally competent health care.
CONCLUSIONS
This study revealed significant gaps in the capacity of nurses to deliver culturally competent care to military veterans and their families.
背景
尽管超过75%的退伍军人及其家属在非退伍军人事务部（VA）机构接受护理，但关于医护人员，特别是注册护士（RN）为退伍军人及其家属提供具有文化胜任力和适当护理的能力的信息却很少。
目的
目的是检验在非VA医院工作的注册护士为退伍军人及其家属提供具有文化胜任力的医疗保健的能力。
方法
对来自一个大型学术医疗系统的护士进行了前瞻性调查设计。兰德公司的“随时服务”网络调查经许可进行了改编，用于在城市和社区民用医院工作的注册护士。除了报告关于人口统计学和每个单独项目的描述性统计数据外，还计算了一个分数来定义高文化胜任力。
结果
25名（4%）注册护士表现出提供具有文化胜任力的医疗保健的能力。
结论
这项研究揭示了护士在为退伍军人及其家属提供具有文化胜任力的护理方面存在重大差距。
