The purpose of this article is to discuss the need to provide culturally sensitive care to the growing number of diverse health care consumers. A literature review of national standards and research on cultural competency was conducted and specifically focused on the field of nursing. This study supports the theory that cultural competence is learned over time and is a process of inner reflection and awareness. The domains of awareness, skill, and knowledge are essential competencies that must be gained by health care providers and especially for nurses. Although barriers to providing culturally sensitive care exist, gaining a better understanding of cultural competence is essential to developing realistic education and training techniques, which will lead to quality professional nursing practice for increasingly diverse populations.
本文旨在探讨为日益增长的多样化医疗保健消费者提供文化敏感护理的必要性。对国家标准和文化能力研究的文献进行了回顾，并特别关注护理领域。这项研究支持这样一种理论，即文化能力是随着时间的推移而习得的，是一个内在反思和意识的过程。意识、技能和知识领域是医疗保健提供者必须掌握的基本能力，特别是护士。尽管提供文化敏感护理存在障碍，但更好地了解文化能力对于开发现实的教育和培训技巧至关重要，这将导致为日益多样化的人群提供高质量的专业护理实践。
