“…Neither socioeconomic status nor its surrogate was ascertained in the study. 10,13,18 Physician bias may play an important role in cervical carcinoma treatment choice and subsequently patient survival. 17 Other confounding variables or biases are apparent in that report as survival rate at 26 months was 68% for patients who received radiation therapy and 100% for those patients who received surgery.…”

“…In contrast, awareness has recently increased about the need for physicians to possess knowledge and skills related to cultural competence (Barzansky et al, 2000;Dedier, Penson, Williams, & Lynch, 1999;Saha, Komaromy, Koepsell, & Bindman, 1999). Moreover, the influence of patients'cultural factors on their psychiatric symptoms, patient/physician relationships, and adherence to treatment have been recently reported (Cuffe, Waller, Cuccaro, Pumariega, & Garrison, 1995;Helman, 2000bHelman, , 2000cPumariega, Johnson, Sheridan, & Cuffe, 1996;Saha et al, 1999).…”

The Model of Cultural Competence Through an Evolutionary Concept Analysis

Becoming a culturally competent health professional is a demanding prerequisite in this multicultural society. Cultural competence is explored and abstracted as a conceptual framework through a concept analysis using the evolutionary method. Its model is constructed from a systemic, comprehensive literature review and analysis. Taking into account how cultural competence is viewed by other disciplines (medicine, psychology, education, and social work), a comprehensive definition, antecedents, and consequences of cultural competence in nursing are described and diagrammed. Additionally, two model cases and future implications are discussed. The broader American society is composed of a mosaic of discrete cultural groups existing within the context of their values and identities. Those distinct cultures affect each patient's ways of thinking and his or her perceptions on health care and health behaviors. The proposed model of cultural competence provides a theoretical guide for developing strategies to achieve culturally competent care in nursing practice and research.

“…Sufficient knowledge about structural and individual mechanisms that impact user-friendly and culturally sensitive care is lacking, which may result in discrimination in Swedish healthcare institutions [3-5]. Cultural competence is a skill set that can help healthcare providers create culturally sensitive and user-friendly care services for people with diverse backgrounds [6].…”

BackgroundTo develop a healthcare environment that is congruent with diversity among care providers and care recipients and to eliminate ethnic discrimination, it’s important to map out and assess caregivers’ awareness and acceptance of diversity. Because of a lack of standardized questionnaires in the Swedish context, this study designed and standardized a questionnaire: the Assessment of Awareness and Acceptance of Diversity in Healthcare Institutions (AAAD, for short).MethodThe questionnaire was developed in four phases: a comprehensive literature review, face and content validity, construct validity by factor analysis, and a reliability test by internal consistency and stability assessments.ResultsResults of different validity and reliability analyses suggest high face, content, and construct validity as well as good reliability in internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.68 to 0.8) and stability (test-retest: Spearman rank correlation coefficient: 0.60 to 0.76). The result of the factor analysis identified six dimensions in the questionnaire: 1) Attitude toward discrimination, 2) Interaction between staff, 3) Stereotypic attitude toward working with a person with a Swedish background, 4) Attitude toward working with a patient with a different background, 5) Attitude toward communication with persons with different backgrounds, 6) Attitude toward interaction between patients and staff.ConclusionThis study introduces a newly developed questionnaire with good reliability and validity values that can assess healthcare workers’ awareness and acceptance of diversity in the healthcare environment and healthcare delivery.
