To meet the population's increasing diversity and the health system's needs, it is necessary to prepare nursing schools to produce culturally qualified students.
This study aimed to extract the experiences of nursing educators about the cultural competence of nursing students.
In this qualitative descriptive study, data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 15 nursing educators affiliated with three medical sciences universities in southeastern Iran. Purposive data sampling and analysis were performed using Graneheim and Lundman's conventional content analysis methods.
One main theme, 5 categories, and 18 subcategories were extracted. The main theme was "cultural equality, the essence of care and education". Categories included "Toward culturally-based caring and education", "Charter of cultural rights", "The need for cultural competence facilitators", "Cultural exposure", and "Modifying the curriculum policies".
This study shows that nursing educators strive to take into account students' cultural competence, even though cultural competence is not explicitly integrated into nursing curricula. The acquisition of cultural competence requires multifaceted changes in education, in clinical centers, and in the creation of cultural infrastructure.
为满足人口日益增长的多样性和卫生系统的需求，有必要使护理学校为培养具有文化素养的学生做好准备。
本研究旨在提取护理教育工作者关于护理学生文化能力的经验。
在这项定性描述性研究中，通过对伊朗东南部三所医科大学的 15 名护理教育工作者进行深入的半结构化访谈，收集了数据。采用 Graneheim 和 Lundman 的常规内容分析方法进行有针对性的数据抽样和分析。
提取出一个主要主题、5 个类别和 18 个子类别。主要主题是“文化平等、护理和教育的本质”。类别包括“以文化为基础的关怀和教育”、“文化权利宪章”、“文化能力促进者的需求”、“文化体验”和“课程政策的修改”。
本研究表明，护理教育工作者努力考虑学生的文化能力，尽管文化能力并未明确纳入护理课程。文化能力的获得需要在教育、临床中心和文化基础设施建设方面进行多方面的变革。
