Cultural competence is a valuable and intangible heritage of knowledge, relationships and identity. Cultural competence is fundamental in nursing: sharing the objectives of all patients - not only foreigners - promotes patient's participation in healthcare and supports nurses' professional development, enhancing the intellectual capital that guides quality care. The aim of this study is to evaluate nurses' self-perceived cultural competence.
This is a cross-sectional study.
A self-administered cultural-competence questionnaire was used. Nurses working in hospitals and territorial healthcare settings in Rome, Italy, were involved in this study, from March 2017 to February 2018.
This study involved 192 nurses. The mean age was 46.2 ± 7.9. Most of the nurses (77.6%) were women. The nurses' mean work experience was 21.4 ± 8.8 years; 65.1% of them had never attended any type of course concerning multiculturalism. The mean score of the nurses' cultural competence was 4.19 ± 0.57 (range = 2.75-5.71). In all, 41.7% of the nurses did not consider themselves neither competent nor incompetent.
The results show that nurses have an acceptable level of cultural competence, slightly higher in the territorial context.
文化能力是知识、人际关系和身份认同方面宝贵且无形的遗产。文化能力在护理工作中至关重要：认同所有患者（不仅是外国患者）的目标，可促进患者参与医疗保健，并支持护士的专业发展，增强指导优质护理的智力资本。本研究旨在评估护士自我感知的文化能力。
这是一项横断面研究。
采用一份自我管理的文化能力问卷。2017年3月至2018年2月期间，意大利罗马医院及地区医疗保健机构的护士参与了本研究。
本研究纳入了192名护士。平均年龄为46.2±7.9岁。大多数护士（77.6%）为女性。护士的平均工作经验为21.4±8.8年；其中65.1%从未参加过任何有关多元文化主义的课程。护士文化能力的平均得分为4.19±0.57（范围=2.75 - 5.71）。总体而言，41.7%的护士认为自己既无能力也无不称职。
结果表明，护士具备可接受的文化能力水平，在地区环境中略高。
