Research has found that training health care professionals can enhance the access of the culturally diverse community to appropriate mental health services. Yet, little research has been conducted that explicitly focuses on improving nursing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviours that can enhance the access of the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) community. This scoping review aims to locate, summarise, and recap what is known in the academic literature about educational interventions and programs to improve mental health nurses' cultural competence. Examining how educational interventions and programs can improve mental health nurses' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviours to facilitate Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) community access to mental health services can also identify gaps in knowledge to report future research areas. Fifteen studies included in the review reported a positive effect of cultural competence interventions; however, it was difficult to establish a single effective intervention method due to the significant heterogenicity in cultural competence intervention strategies. Most studies in this scoping review included nurses as participants. However, only one study solely focussed on cultural competence intervention for mental health nurses. Two other studies included mental health nurses as participants, along with other mental health professionals. Henceforth, there is a prerequisite for more research focussing on enhancing mental health nurses' cultural competency. Additional research is required to evaluate educational interventions' impact on improving cultural competence attributes on specific practitioner behaviours and the effects on health care and health care outcomes. This review can form a basis for future research studies that will emphasise the impact of cultural competence interventions for mental health nurses.
研究发现，培训医疗保健专业人员可以提高文化多元化社区获得适当心理健康服务的机会。然而，很少有研究专门关注提高护理知识、技能、态度和行为，以增强文化和语言多样化（CALD）社区的机会。本范围综述旨在确定、总结和概括学术文献中关于教育干预措施和计划以提高心理健康护士文化能力的知识。研究教育干预措施和计划如何提高心理健康护士的知识、技能、态度和行为，以促进文化和语言多样化（CALD）社区获得心理健康服务，也可以确定知识差距，以报告未来的研究领域。本综述中纳入的 15 项研究报告了文化能力干预的积极影响；然而，由于文化能力干预策略的显著异质性，很难确定单一有效的干预方法。本范围综述中的大多数研究都将护士作为参与者。然而，只有一项研究专门针对心理健康护士的文化能力干预。另外两项研究将心理健康护士与其他心理健康专业人员一起作为参与者。因此，需要更多的研究来关注增强心理健康护士的文化能力。需要进一步研究评估教育干预对改善特定从业者行为的文化能力属性以及对医疗保健和医疗保健结果的影响。本综述可以为未来的研究提供基础，强调文化能力干预对心理健康护士的影响。
