Improved Health in Ethnically/Culturally Diverse Patients through Enhanced Cultural Competency in Nurse Wellness Outcomes Educators

“…A review of the recent literature reveals that the quandary of caring for diverse populations has been studied in many countries, including: Australia (Allen, Brown, Duff, Nesbitt & Hepner, 2013;Koch, Everett, Phillips, & Davidson, 2014;West, Usher, & Foster, 2010), Canada (Gregory, Harrowing, Lee, Doolittle, & O'Sullivan, 2010;Stansfield & Browne, 2013), Cyprus (Vasiliou et al, 2010), Israel (Arieli & Hirschfeld, 2013;Arieli, Mashiach, Hirschfeld, & Friedman, 2012;Noble, A., Nuszen, Rom, & Noble, L., 2014), New Zealand (Caldwell, Lu, & Harding, 2010), Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Faeroe Islands and Denmark (Bohman & Borglin, 2013;Westerbotn et al, 2015), Taiwan (Perng & Watson, 2012), Thailand (Songwathana, 2013), the United Kingdom (McClimens et al, 2014), and the United States (Abrums, Resnick & Irving, 2010;Batykefer Evans, 2013;Beard 2013Beard , 2014Cantwell, Napierkowski, Gundersen, & Naqvi, 2015;Condon et al, 2013;Dapremont, 2014;Debrew et al, 2014;Dewald, 2012;Dudas, 2012;Dunagan, Kimble, Sweat Gunby, & Andrews, 2014;Fulbright Sumpter & Brooks Carthon, 2011;Greenberg, 2013;Harris et al, 2013;Jeffreys & Dogan, 2012;Junious, Malecha, Tart, & Young, 2010;…”

“…While the issues of recruiting and graduating increased numbers of diverse nursing students must be resolved, it is also imperative to simultaneously increase the cultural competency of all nursing students (Allen et al, 2013;Arieli et al, 2012;Bohman & Borglin, 2014;Campinha-Bacote, 2011;Carter et al 2015;Debrew et al, 2014;Dudas, 2012;Dunagan et al, 2014;Esposito, 2013;Fulbright Sumpter & Brooks Carthon, 2011;Gallagher & Polanin, 2015;Gregory et al, 2010;Harris et al, 2013;Jeffreys & Dogan, 2012;Kardong-Edgren et al, 2010;Kirkpatrick, Esterhuizen, Jesse, & Brown, 2015;Koch et al, 2014;Koskinen et al, 2012;Lim et al, 2015;Long, 2012;Mayo et al, 2014;McClimens et al, 2014;Mesler, 2014;Mixer, 2011;Mixer et al, 2013;Noble et al, 2014;Perng & Watson, 2012;Starr, Shattell, & Gonzales, 2011;Strong & Folse, 2015;Westerbotn et al, 2015) across the board; because at this juncture, there is an insufficient number of ethnically/culturally diverse nursing students in many countries (Baker, 2010;Brooks Carthon et al, 2014;Cantwell et al, 2015;Carter et al, 2015;Chandler & Swanston, 2012;…”

“…Although Fulbright Sumpter and Brooks Carthon (2011) suggest that cultural competence content be threaded throughout the curriculum, others give varying ideas on the best way to include it. While some nurse researchers indicate that there is no consensus on what is the best way to do this (Allen et al, 2013;Kardong-Edgren et al, 2010;Noble et al, 2014), Songwathana (2013) notes that offering varied approaches is beneficial. Experiential learning (either locally or abroad), storytelling, scenari-os, simulations, and role play have demonstrated usefulness (Allen et al, 2013;Bohman & Borglin, 2013;Campinha-Bacote, 2011;Kirkpatrick et al, 2015;Koskinen et al, 2012;Long, 2012;Mayo et al, 2014;McClimens et al, 2014;Robinson, 2013;Songwathana, 2013;Stansfield & Browne, 2013;Westerbotn et al, 2015).…”

“…Long (2012) further suggests that clinical experiences, and partnering with ethnically/culturally diverse organizations in the community (p. 105) have an impact on the nursing students' attainment of cultural competence because these activities are generally engaging. Nevertheless, Mesler (2014), Noble et al (2014), and Strong and Folse (2015) report that nursing students who took specific courses on culture, especially those that are implemented within the nursing curriculum (Mesler, 2014), achieved higher levels of cultural competence than those who did not take dedicated culture courses. Integrating debate, discussion, case scenarios (Allen et al, 2013), and invited presentations (Long, 2012) in didactic settings can make classroom learning more meaningful.…”

The Effect of a Teaching Model for Improving Undergraduate Nursing Students' Cultural Competency

“…넓은 의미에서 볼 때 간호학의 돌봄 간호는 다문화 간호와 밀접하게 연계되었다고 할 수 있다 (Campinha-Bacote, 2015;Leininger, 1978;Reyes, Hadley, & Davenport, 2013). 문화역량 강화 간호교육의 과제는 간호 대학생들이 좀 더 세심하게 다 문화 요구에 대응할 수 있도록 돕고, 간호학 전공 교육에 있 어 다문화에 대한 인식이나 태도의 변화에 초점을 두어야 함 을 강조하고 있지만 (Ha & Cho, 2015;Noble, Nuszen, Rom, & Noble, 2014) 이는 달성하기 쉽지 않은 교육 목표 중 하나 이다 (Jeffreys & Dogan, 2013…”
