With an ageing global community and widening socio-cultural diversity, nurse educators are increasingly challenged to align responsive undergraduate nursing curricula to rapidly changing healthcare environments. In future-proofing nurse education, educators need to collectively examine ways of interconnecting and developing gerontological and cultural competence within undergraduate curricula. However, there is limited guidance as to how this can be achieved in already compacted curricula. We suggest that this could be achieved by critically examining undergraduate curricula to make explicit how they can be adapted to educate nurses in the provision of culturally competent person-centred care. This approach could help nurse educators adapt student nurse preparation to meet the needs of culturally diverse older people and their families.
随着全球老龄化社会的发展和社会文化多样性的扩大，护士教育工作者越来越需要调整响应式本科护理课程，以适应快速变化的医疗保健环境。在为护理教育提供未来保障方面，教育工作者需要共同研究如何在本科课程中相互关联和发展老年学和文化能力。然而，对于如何在已经紧凑的课程中实现这一目标，指导有限。我们认为，可以通过批判性地检查本科课程，明确它们如何适应教育护士提供文化上胜任的以患者为中心的护理，从而实现这一目标。这种方法可以帮助护士教育工作者调整学生护士的准备工作，以满足文化多样化的老年人及其家庭的需求。
