Full textCultural competence has become an important topic since the society has evolved to be more multicultural, these societies have a big problem with their healthcare systems and it is said that primary care in Sweden must become better adjusted to the needs of minorities. The objective of this study was to investigate the degree of cultural competence in primary care in Sweden and to examine if the degree of cultural competence had a relation to the providers personality, gender, age ethnicity and educational level. Three different county councils were asked to participate but only one agreed. From 13 different primary care wards, 111 participants filled in three different instruments measuring personality, cultural competence and social desirability. The result of Pearson correlations, partial correlations, two-tailed independent t-tests and a χ²- test show that the degree of cultural competence is relatively low. Also, persons who are more conscientious and open, less neurotic, and educated at a university are more prone to be culturally competent. This investigation shows that there is a need to make individuals who work in primary care more aware of these issues. The focus should not lie on personnel level alone, but on organizational level as well.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to determine the benefit of both classroom instruction and an immersive clinical experience for the development of cultural competence skills among student nurses. The 3-D Model for Culturally Congruent Care was the framework used for this quantitative descriptive correlational study. The premise of the model is to draw upon the knowledge that culturally competent care derives from the healthcare provider and client level, an essential factor to the delivery of culturally competent healthcare. A convenience sample of 74 student nurses from two separate cohorts enrolled in a diploma-based program were asked to complete the Cultural Competence Assessment (CCA) survey as a pre-intervention (2017 Cohort) and post-intervention (2016 Cohort).
Data from the CCA were analyzed utilizing measures of central tendency and bivariate statistics. This analysis revealed significant associations between both groups of students and levels of cultural awareness and sensitivity. The results of this study affirm the value of both the classroom and clinical immersion experience in the development of cultural competence among student nurses.

Full textVi strävar alltid efter att förstå det som sker i den värld vi lever i. Till vår hjälp har vi olika referenser och kunskaper som vi har lärt oss under våra liv. Dessa referenser och kunskaper förenklar och förklarar våra upplevelser och sätter in dem i ett sammanhang. Utan detta sammanhang blir enskilda händelser omöjliga att förstå och vi tvingas navigera oss fram med förbundna ögon. Kultur är ett av de verktyg vi människor använder för att förklara den verklighet vi lever i. Vi omges ständigt av en mängd olika kulturella kontexter med sina egna koder och sammanhang. För att kunna interagera med dessa kulturer måste vi ha en förståelse för vad kultur är och hur det påverkar våra handlingar och tankar. För en soldat eller officer som skall operera i en internationell miljö blir denna kunskap ännu viktigare, då det kulturella avståndet mellan människor tenderar att växa exponentiellt i förhållande till det geografiska avståndet. Detta är en av de viktigaste erfarenheter som man dragit under 2000-talets internationella konflikter. Till följd av detta så har institutioner över hela världen startat projekt i syfte att utveckla utbildningar och träningsprogram som skall öka förmågan att hantera kultur och kulturell problematik vid militära insatser. Denna uppsats huvudsyfte är att med hjälp av Brian A. Selmeskis 3C koncept undersöka hur den svenska Försvarsmakten och Försvarshögskolan hanterar kultur och kulturell problematik i sin utbildning. Målet med uppsatsen är att identifiera områden som kan utvecklas i syfte att utveckla Cross Cultural Competence.
We always try to make sense of the things that happens in the world we live in. To our help we have different references and knowledge that we have learned during our life. These references and knowledge simplifies and explains our experiences and put them in to context. Without this context single events becomes impossible to understand and we are forced to navigate with our eyes bound. Culture is one of the tools, we humans use to explain the reality we live in. We are constantly surrounded by a wide range of different cultural contexts with there own codes and conducts. To be able to interact with these cultures we must have a understanding for what culture is and how it affect our actions. For soldier or an officer that will operate in an international environment, this knowledge becomes even more important cause the cultural distance between people tend to grow exponentially in relations to the geographical distance. This is one of the most important experiences from the 21 st century’s international conflicts. As a result of this, institutions all over the world have started projects with the purpose to develop educations and training programs that will increase the ability to manage culture and cultural problems. This essays main purpose it to with the help of Brian A. Selmeskis 3C concept study how the Swedish Defence and the Swedish National Defence Collage handles culture and cultural problems in their education. The goal with the essay is to identify areas that can be developed with the purpose to evolve Cross Cultural Competence.

Full textRacial and ethnic health disparities are highest in communities of color; providing culturally competent care could address these disparities. Culturally competent communication between the healthcare provider and the patient is an essential behavior that may improve health in racially and ethnically diverse women. A quality improvement project was completed with guidance from the 5 constructs of the Campinha-Bacote model as the conceptual framework, and the method used was the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey. The perspective of 20 Mexican American and 20 African American women in El Paso, Texas between ages 45 and 72 with menopausal symptoms was surveyed to determine if culture had an impact on the presence or absence of communication with their healthcare providers. Results showed women’s perceptions of positive and negative communication behaviors with their healthcare providers was inconclusive; however, results showed that provider communication about health promotions, use of alternative medicine, and shared-decision making regarding health management needs improvement to promote adherence to medical regimen and feelings of mutual respect. Integrating cultural competence into existing evidence-based care can positively impact the delivery of services and help improve the quality of care. Healthcare providers can impact positive social change through the lessening of burdens associated with the lack of diversity in the workforce by including cultural competence training into the curriculum of nursing and medical schools.

Full textThesis advisor: David Karp
In an age in which diversity and healthcare inequalities are prominent issues, culturally competent care has emerged as a popular response. However, there seems to be a gap between this academic interest and the attempts to implement cultural competency in the American healthcare system. The aim of this qualitative research was to explore the link between culture and health and to uncover what cultural competency might mean on a practical level through a case study of the pediatric in-patient units of an urban hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Through participant observation over the span of two months, as well as 20 semi-structured interviews with 14 healthcare providers and 6 bilingual Latino parents of pediatric patients, I investigated the challenges that these groups face in providing and seeking care, respectively. The results of this project attempt to give voice to the families and their providers, as well as suggest how the hospital can better accommodate the needs of the Latino population. Overall, this project has revealed the complexity of the links between culture and health, and indicated that there is no single model of cultural competence that can adequately capture this complexity. Ultimately, relationships and good communication are at the core of the cross-cultural medical encounter, and may serve to create a more culturally welcoming atmosphere for patients of all backgrounds

Much research has examined how people who train mental health professionals can facilitate counselor development of multicultural competence, an awareness for cultural differences and an ability to work with people from many cultural backgrounds. Much less research has focused on counselor development occurring in students’ personal lives, yet some evidence has shown that students report the impact of events in their personal lives on counselor development. Many studies have demonstrated positive effects of cultural immersion experiences, in which participants immerse themselves in a different culture for a time period. A few studies have also examined the effects of living among a different culture instead of visiting a different culture short term. After a thorough review of the literature on cultural immersion experiences, this study was designed to research how living among a diverse culture could result in differences in multicultural competence and universal-diverse orientation, which is an awareness and accepting attitude for those who come from diverse backgrounds. The study focused on students who moved to live in a different culture as part of their graduate training program in a counseling related field. The researcher also explored the relationship between universal-diverse orientation and multicultural competence scores. The results were not significant showing any differences in either multicultural competence or universal-diverse orientation scores based on whether or not participants had experienced cultural immersion. Similarly, no differences were found based on amount of multicultural training either. One finding that was significant was a strong relationship between universal-diverse orientation and multicultural knowledge and awareness. Implications of the findings could be applicable to counselors and counselor education programs. By fostering more universal-diverse orientation, counselor educators could work towards increasing multicultural competence as well. This study was found to have some limitations, primarily having few participants take the study’s survey. These results do have implications for future research to continue studying multicultural competence, universal-diverse orientation, and cultural immersion.

Full textNowadays, there is a broad market within the field of Translation in Peru. As a result, many translators work daily in it; nevertheless, some of them cannot assure a final product of good quality because not all of them develop the skills that a professional translator must have. In this regard, it is important that translation students develop cultural competence, which is part of the translation competence, during their professional training. The main purpose of this research is to provide information garnered from teaching translators or interpreters of the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) about the role of teaching the foreign culture to students from the Professional Translation and Interpreting program. It must be pointed out that no research of this subject has taken place in a Peruvian context. However, there are similar studies with a different approach. This research was conducted because some students are not aware of the relevance of Language and Culture courses in Chinese, French, English, and Portuguese—languages taught at UPC. Interviews were used for this purpose to explore teaching translators and interpreters’ perceptions about the role of teaching the foreign culture during the professional training of future translators. Based on an analysis, it was found that cultural competence is essential for the training of students.

A partir de la revisión de los diferentes modelos teóricos y de los diferentes instrumentos existentes, se escogió la escala Cultural Competence Assessment de las autoras Schimer y Doorenbos (2003). El análisis de la estructura psicométrica, la dimensionalidad y la categorización de las puntuaciones van, fueron algunos de los objetivos específicos relacionados con la adaptación y validación de la escala. El estudio se desarrolló en tres fases: en la primera, se tradujo y adaptar la escala Cultural Competence Assessment al castellano; en la segunda, se validó la escala a profesionales de la salud a partir de un estudio psicométrico; y la tercera parte, se realizó un estudio transversal con diseño ex post facto de la competencia cultural en una muestra representativa de profesionales de enfermera de la provincia de Tarragona. Esta última parte, toma por objetivo analizar la aplicabilidad de la escala, así como conocer el desarrollo de la competencia cultural de esta muestra, lo que servirá para detectar las necesidades formativas. los resultados obtenidos, podemos concluir que la CCA-S representa un instrumento válido para evaluar la competencia cultural. En este estudio hemos podido comprobar su utilidad en la evaluación de la competencia cultural en una muestra representativa de profesionales de la enfermería. Además, ha resultado de utilidad para describir los elementos que intervienen en el desarrollo de la competencia cultural como son una exposición a la diversidad cultural, un mayor conocimiento cultural derivado de formación previa, tener deseo cultural y una coherencia de eficacia en competencia cultural. No obstante, en base a los resultados obtenidos y las relaciones establecidas entre las diferentes variables, se proponen líneas futuras de investigación para trabajar y fomentar la competencia cultural a partir de estrategias de investigación acción participativa.

Based on the review of the different theoretical models and the different existing instruments, the Cultural Competence Assessment scale was selected by authors Schim and Doorenbos (2003). The analysis of the psychometric structure, the dimensionality and the categorization of the scores go, being some of the specific objectives related to the adaptation and validation of the scale. The study was developed in three phases: in the first one, the Cultural Competence Assessment scale was translated and adapted to Spanish; In the second, the scale was validated to health professionals from a psychometric study; and the third part, a cross-sectional study with ex-post facto design of cultural competence was carried out in a representative sample of nursing professionals from the province of Tarragona. This last part, aims to analyze the applicability of the scale, as well as know the development of the cultural competence of this sample, which will serve to detect the training needs. the results obtained, we can conclude that the CCA-S represents a valid instrument for evaluating cultural competence. In this study I was able to verify its usefulness in the evaluation of cultural competence in a representative sample of nursing professionals. In addition, it has been useful in describing the elements that intervene in the development of cultural competence such as an exhibition on cultural diversity, a greater cultural knowledge derived from prior education, a cultural desire and a coherence of efficiency in competition cultural However, based on the results obtained and the relationships established between the different variables, future lines of research are proposed to work and foster cultural competence through participatory action research strategies.
