Cultural Competence
How to be Culturally Competent
Be aware of impact of culture on a client’s view and understanding of an illness
Unique cultural perceptions exist regarding the cause of illness and treatment. Nurses should respect these views.› Coining
Hmong culture Rubbing heated coins over area until red marks are seen. Illness can be removed from body
› Illness is due to Karma Hindu
› Meditation for treatment of illness Hindu
› Hot and Cold theory (“Yin and Yang”) Based on the imbalance of four humors Pregnancy is a hot state. Hot foods such as animal products and chiles
are not eaten.
Barriers to Culturally Competent Care
Prejudice Language Barrier
› Always call for an interpreter when necessary! Always speak directly to client even when using an interpreter
Ethnocentrism› A tendency to hold your own beliefs as more superior to
another’s Stereotyping
› Not all Hispanics are Catholic etc.! Don’t make assumptions!
Lack of Knowledge › When in doubt, ASK THE PATIENT!
Impact on Nursing Practice Value diversity by
understanding and respecting cultural differences
Learn about major differences
Be nonjudgmental!› Assess your own
beliefs and values! Respect differences!
Common Diverse Groups Ethnicity
› White› African American› Native American› Asian› Pacific Islander
Religion› Christian› Jewish› Muslim› Hindu› Jehovah’s Witness
Remember… It is impossible to understand every
aspect of all cultures and religions The best thing you can do is to involve
the patient and their family in their care! If needs cannot be completely met, try
to find an alternative method that is acceptable to the culture
Keep an open mind and continue learning about different cultures!
Diversity in the Workplace Respect co-workers’ beliefs and
practices Nurses are not ever required to care for
patients if procedures go against their own personal beliefs› Catholic nurse is not required to participate
in an abortive procedure› Jehovah’s Witness not required to hang
blood products for patients
