Matching versus cultural competence in research: Methodological considerations

Abstract: Researcher/participant matching has been used in nursing research as a strategy for the development of culturally competent knowledge. In this manuscript, the complexities inherent in matching in nursing research are discussed. In raising and discussing issues and questions related to matching, we argue that although matching may be one of the strategies used to generate culturally competent knowledge, it is frequently too complex for operationalization. Therefore, we propose that researchers reflect on questi… Show more

“…This multiethnic nature of Canadian communities raises important questions about the sex, gender, and cultural appropriateness and the efficiency of health care services and programs at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. It becomes imperative to investigate whether cultural knowledge, gender sensitivity, and collaboration may be more fundamental to the development of culturally competent and gender-sensitive research and practice than limiting reforms to simple user-provider or researcher-participant matching (Sawyer et al, 1995). Adequate, culturally and gender-sensitive collaboration between users, providers, researchers, and policy-makers could also be required as catalysts to improving the quality of health care for the Canadian population.…”

“…In many cases, however, bilingual staff may differ greatly from the study population because of their varied socioeconomic backgrounds and immigration histories (Tsai et al, 2004). Therefore, some argue that cultural matching of researchers/staff and study participants does not necessarily ensure culturally competent research; rather, the most important characteristic in this relationship is the cultural responsiveness of the researchers (Sawyer et al, 1995).…”

“…Les valeurs et les caract6ristiques des membres de l'6quipe, soient l'origine ethnique, l'$ge, le sexe et l'organisation a laquelle ils appartiennent, influencent le d6roulement de la recherche et sont ainsi une pr6occupation m6thodologique importante (Porter &Villarruel, 1993). Des auteurs discutent de la n6cessit6 de Yappariement ou ,~ matching ,, des identit6s de la population ~ l'6tude avec des chercheurs comme strat6gie pour d6velopper des connaissances culturelles appropri6es (Sawyer, Regev, Proctor, Nelson, Messias, Barnes & Meleis, 1995;Vissandj6e, Weinfeld, Dup6r6 & Abdool, 2001). Les attributs culturels pour lesquels l'appariement a 6t6 pr6n6 sont l'ethnicit6, la race, la localisation g6ographique, la classe sociale, le sexe, l'$ge, la langue et les valeurs.…”

“…Bien qu'il soit absolument n6cessaire d'impliquer des femmes et des hommes issus de la communaut6 ethnoculturelle ~ l'6tude, un ~ appariement total >> selon le sexe et la culture est souvent impossible et pas n6cessairement souhaitable. Certains 616ments sont peut-~tre encore plus fondamentaux tels que les connaissances et la sensibilit6 culturelle ainsi que la nature de la collaboration au sein d'une 6quipe diversifi6e (Sawyer et al, 1995). Ainsi, contrairement ~ une croyance souvent v6hicul6e, une 6quipe de recherche qui comprend des membres de la population ~ l'6tude n'est pas n6cessairement prot6g6e de biais culturels, ceuxVISSANDJf~E et DUPEP~.…”
