“…The core values of culture care competencies are embedded in TCNS nurses, whether they are administrators, leaders, educators, or practitioners in the health care system. Pacquiao et al (2023) provided solutions to empower vulnerable groups and reduce the negative health impact of their social position in society. Transcultural nurses, empowered by cultural competency and intellectual knowledge, are well positioned to address the reimagination of the "future of nursing" as individuals and groups.…”

Our annual conference on global health is setting the stage to create and build global health partnerships with other countries to advocate for social change and promote culturally competent care.Networking and creating global partnerships with other nurses, organizations, and healthcare professionals from other countries leads to global partnerships to improve the health outcomes of the people in the respective countries. The Transcultural Nursing Society provides the framework for applying transcultural theories that link research, education, and practice. To do this, researchers, nursing educators, nurses in practice, and administrators must acquire, develop, or enhance their skills and knowledge in creating these partnerships and ensuring their sustainability.Practicing culturally competent care globally enables us nurses first to become aware of our implicit biases (we are all subject to some biases) and focus on sustaining the global partnerships created while building on what is and expanding on what needs to be. This is particularly important when we are involved with countries with low resources to build capacity to research, educate, and create a practice environment that promotes social change. Todt (2023) addresses strategies to combat implicit bias in nursing and to protect patient and nurse well-being. Todt advocates replacing stereotypes and countering them by reimagining possibilities for the person. Consider the person as a human being but not as a disease condition, imagine what the person might be experiencing, augment opportunities for facilitating the connection between the person and the nurse, and build a partnership between the person and the nurse. Todt also encourages using certain words as medicine that promote healing and well-being. These strategies can be applied globally to achieve social change and optimize health outcomes. As Todt states, one needs to learn to listen and embrace our professional identity, that is, espousing our core values as a nurse and demonstrating them during encounters with people who need our care.Let's make the best of what TCNS aims to do globally and put to work the global and international projects that can promote social change.

“…It is imperative that CC is integrated into nursing education in order to help students develop a culturally mindful and safe practice ( 6 - 7 ) . In fact, previous educational interventions seeking to integrate CC in the nursing curriculum have been effective to improve CC in nursing students ( 8 - 9 ) .…”

Objective: to evaluate the level of cultural competence of an undergraduate nursing students’ population from four European higher education institutions. Method: a total of 168 nursing students from four different countries were included in our study. The study methodology involved a cross-sectional assessment of cultural competence among undergraduate nursing students from four European universities. Data collection included sociodemographic variables, as well as the following validated tools: the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, the Cultural Competence Assessment Tool (student version) and the Cultural Awareness Scale. Results: our results indicated that students demonstrated a high level of intercultural sensitivity but a moderate level of cultural competence and cultural awareness. Variations existed among students from different countries, suggesting potential differences in educational approaches. Despite expectations that higher-level students would exhibit greater cultural competence, no significant differences were found by year of study, indicating a lack of effective integration of cultural competence into nursing curricula. Conclusion: nurse educators should consider the students’ cultural competence before designing related study programmes. Training programmes related to cultural competence should include elements which have been associated with enhanced cultural competence, including language skills, cultural encounter, and opportunities for internationalisation.

Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de competencia cultural de una población de estudiantes de pregrado en enfermería de cuatro instituciones europeas de educación superior. Método: en nuestro estudio se incluyeron en total 168 estudiantes de enfermería de cuatro países diferentes. La metodología de estudio implicó una evaluación transversal de la competencia cultural de los estudiantes de pregrado en enfermería de cuatro universidades europeas. La recolección de datos incluyó variables sociodemográficas y las siguientes herramientas validadas: la Escala de Sensibilidad Intercultural, la Herramienta de Evaluación de la Competencia Cultural (versión para estudiantes) y la Escala de Conciencia Cultural. Resultados: los estudiantes demostraron un alto nivel de sensibilidad intercultural pero un nivel moderado de competencia y conciencia cultural. Hubo variaciones entre los estudiantes de diferentes países, lo que sugiere posibles diferencias en los enfoques educativos. A pesar de que se esperaba que los estudiantes de educación superior tuvieran mayor competencia cultural, no se encontraron diferencias significativas por año de estudio, lo que indica que la competencia cultural no se incluye de forma efectiva en los planes de estudio de las carreras de pregrado en enfermería. Conclusión: los educadores de enfermería deben considerar la competencia cultural de los estudiantes antes de diseñar programas de estudio relacionados con la misma. Los programas de formación relacionados con la competencia cultural deben incluir elementos que se hayan asociado con una mayor competencia cultural, eso incluye habilidades lingüísticas, encuentros culturales y oportunidades de internacionalización.
