“…Various definitions have been presented in the existing texts; however, cultural competence is generally considered as a nursing capacity to improve the health and wellbeing of care seekers whose cultural background is different from that of nurses. The concept of cultural competence consists of 4 categories, including cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and cultural skills (Ahn 2017;Blanchet Garneau & Pepin 2015;Chae & Lee 2014).…”

Background: Cultural competence is an essential factor in providing effective services to care seekers. Providing cultural care is a necessity in nursing; thus, measuring cultural competence in nurses is of great importance. Accordingly, the current study aimed at introducing the scales for measuring cultural competence in nursing. Methods: The current narrative review study was conducted by searching the internet and library resources through credible databases. The keywords “cultural competence, cultural competency, cultural instruments, the measurement of cultural competency, nursing, nursing students, and cultural sensitivity” were used individually and in combination. The selected articles were in English, without any time limits, and only in the medical fields. Results: Among 16 articles related to cultural competence scales, 19 scales were discovered; 12 of which were in English and applicable in nursing. Nine tools were designed based on a conceptual framework/model, and only 6 of them received psychometric evaluations. Conclusion: The comparison of the scales suggested that all of them were developed based on different conceptual frameworks; accordingly, various factors should be considered when using them. The compatibility of the scale with the culture and environmental conditions of the studied population, and the areas of cultural competence it investigates, are among such characteristics.

“…Those with more experience may add value to other students' learning experiences. The discussion of the unique learning environment is in line with previous literature that delineates the contextual elements that foster healthcare students' development of cultural competence, including one's personal trajectory and the social/political dimensions of care (Garneau & Pepin, 2015a). However, in addition to recognizing the influences of individual learners and the wider clinical environment, our model acknowledges the role that formal curriculum plays in constructing the cultural learning environment for medical students, highlighting the interconnected relationship of the formal, informal and hidden curriculum.…”

As a result of an increased understanding of culture’s impact on health and healthcare, cultural competence and diversity curricula have been incorporated into many medical programs. However, little is known about how students develop their cultural competence during their training. This ethnographic case study combined participant observation with interviews and focus group to understand students’ views and experiences in developing their cultural competence during clinical placements. The results show that students’ development of cultural competence is an individually varied process via four distinctive yet interrelated learning avenues. Immersion in a diverse healthcare environment contributes to students’ development of cultural awareness and knowledge. Observation of culturally appropriate or inappropriate practices allows students to enhance their practical skills and critical reflection. Interaction with other clinical professionals, patients, and their family members, enables students’ engagement within the busy clinical practice. Reflection helps students to actively think about culture’s impact on health and internalize the importance of cultural competence. Students’ learning via each avenue is interrelated and constantly interacting with their learning environment, which collectively contributes to their development. Integrating the results allowed the authors to generate a theoretical model that conceptualizes medical students’ cultural competence development in clinical placements, which unearths students’ cultural learning within the informal and hidden curriculum. This study provides a rare view of students’ development of cultural competence in clinical placements, which may inform the pedagogic development of cultural competence and diversity education in medicine and healthcare.

“…Le modèle du développement de la compétence culturelle de Blanchet Garneau (2013;Blanchet Garneau et Pepin, 2015b), élaboré à partir d'une recherche qualitative selon une approche de théorisation ancrée et une perspective constructiviste, a servi de cadre de référence. Selon l'auteure, la culture d'une personne est dynamique et évolue dans le temps.…”
