“…These results replicated previous studies that established cultural education as a method for increasing cultural competence in health care providers (Beach et al, 2004;Beach et al, 2005;California Endowment, 2003;Lampley et al, 2008;RNAO, 2007;Schim et al, 2006). This study also replicated Choi and Johnson's (2007) finding of no statistically significant difference in results between use of an educational DVD with discussion and use of an education DVD without discussion.…”

“…There was evidence that cultural education increased cultural competence levels of nurses (Beach et al, 2004;Beach et al, 2005;California Endowment, 2003;Lampley et al, 2008;RNAO, 2007;Schim et al, 2006). This study provided additional support for this finding and added to the body of knowledge by specifically addressing the use of DVDs for cultural education with or without discussion guides and facilitated discussion.…”

“…Beach et al (2005) acknowledged that both long (more than 1 week in length) and short (less than or equal to 8 hr) interventions are possibly effective means of increasing cultural competence for those in attendance. Limited education of 60-75 min increased cultural competence scores for hospice nurses (Schim et al, 2006).…”

“…Researchers have reported a significant relationship between higher levels of educational attainment and cultural competence among RNs (Braithwaite, 2006;Mahabeer, 2009;Schim, et al, 2006a;Schim, Doorenbos, & Borse, 2006b;Starr & Wallace, 2009). Sealey and colleagues (2006) reported that very few nursing faculty cited formal training in cultural competence, reinforcing the need to further explore the relationship between education/training and cultural competence level.…”

ConclusionResults from this research study continue to demonstrate the need for additional formal education and continuing education in providing culturally competent care to patients and families. KeywordsCultural competence, nurses, continuing education, research, policy One major challenge confronting nurses is the provision of culturally competent care to an increasingly diverse society. Individuals seek healthcare with unique cultural needs, beliefs, and behaviors. Providing patient and family-centered care requires that nurses recognize the patient and family's culture, the nurse's culture, and how both affect the care-receiving and care-giving relationship.Leininger is considered the pioneer in the field of transcultural nursing. In her seminal work Nursing and Anthropology: Two Worlds to Blend, Leininger (1970) Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' perceptions of their cultural awareness, knowledge, skills, and comfort level in caring for patients and families from diverse populations. MethodsUsing a prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study design, 2,000 surveys were sent to registered nurses in a southeastern state in the United States. Three hundred seventy-four nurses participated which provided a 19.3% response rate. ResultsParticipants reported a moderate level of cultural awareness, but perceived low levels of cultural knowledge, skill, and comfort in patient encounters and situations. Participants noted that cultural diversity training was lacking in basic nursing education, and in workplace continuing education programs. Multiple regression analysis indicated that higher nursing degree was predictive of greater knowledge of cultural competence.

“…In addition, because the NPCCTN worked with geographically and culturally distinct clinicians, patients, and systems of care, university-based NPCCTN providers and staff completed cultural competence training. 19 The provision of culturally congruent healthcare facilitates strong relationships between academic and tribal providers and AI/AN people.…”

Objective: We aimed to develop a telehealth network to deliver postdiagnosis cancer care clinical services and education to American Indian and Alaska Native patients, their families, and their healthcare providers. We also sought to identify the challenges and opportunities of implementing such a telehealth-based application for this rural and underserved population. Materials and Methods: We followed a participatory formative evaluation approach to engage all stakeholders in the telehealth network design and implementation. This approach allowed us to identify and address technical and infrastructure barriers, lack of previous experience with telehealth, and political, legal, and historical challenges. Results: Between September 2006 and August 2009, nine tribal clinics in Washington and 26 clinical sites in Alaska had participated in the telehealth network activities. Network programming included cancer education presentations, case conferences, and cancer survivor support groups. Twenty-seven cancer education presentations were held, with a total provider attendance of 369. Forty-four case conferences were held, with a total of 129 cases discussed. In total, 513 patient encounters took place. Keys to success included gaining provider and community acceptance, working closely with respected tribal members, understanding tribal sovereignty and governance, and working in partnership with cultural liaisons. Conclusion: The telehealth network exceeded expectations in terms of the number of participating sites and the number of patients served. Following a participatory formative evaluation approach contributed to the success of this telehealth network and demonstrated the importance of community involvement in all stages of telehealth system design and implementation.
