A REVIEW OF CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN HEALTHCARE
Keywords:
culture, cultural competence, education, teaching, learningAbstract
This paper explores the literature regarding cultural competence and how it is taught in the health care professions. The review of the literature yields themes related to the teaching of cultural competence in a variety of health disciplines. It is important to note that cultural competence is an important topic in nursing and other health care and human services fields. Culturally competent care improves health disparities and advances the general health of the country through preventive care initiatives. There is not a golden standard related to cultural competency education, and the systematic review yields three themes essential to cultural competency education: knowledge, skill, and desire.
