RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To provide better quality healthcare services to patients with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, the cross-cultural competence of medical professionals is important. However, assessing and improving the cross-cultural competence of healthcare professionals is difficult in Japan, as there is no standardized scale to measure the competence. This study's purpose was to translate the Cross-Cultural Competence instrument for Healthcare Professionals (CCCHP), which was developed and used in Europe, and to examine its reliability and validity among Japanese nurses. METHODS: During June and July 2021, nursing staff were invited to take web- and paper-based surveys in Okinawa Japan. The CCCHP (five-factor model with 27 items across motivation, attitude, skills, emotion, and knowledge) was translated using a combination translation method, and a five-point Likert scale was used for responses. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and known-group method were used to examine structural validity, while Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to test reliability. RESULTS: A total of 294 responses were analyzed; 77.2% had more than five years of experience. Since the fit index indicated that the five-factor model was not a good fit, it was modified to a four-factor model (J-CCCHP24) by moving three variables, removing the knowledge factor, and using the error covariance of the variables. The fit index after the modification was improved to comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.92, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = 0.91, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.05, and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.06, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.85. The mean scores of J-CCCHP24 were significantly higher in the group with a history of overseas travel, higher foreign language skill, training in intercultural care, experience of foreign patient care, and intercultural interactions outside the workplace than in the group without these characteristics. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed the validity and reliability of the modified Japanese version of the CCCHP (four-factor model with 24 items). The results suggest that the exposure to different cultures on a personal level may help improve nurses' cross-cultural competence. Further refinement of this scale for practical use would encourage the implementation of necessary countermeasures to improve the cross-cultural competence of Japanese healthcare professionals.

RESUMEN

Cultural competence is not mentioned as such in the training standards for future nurses, but it is essential for appropriate, personalized and effective care. Learning about and reflecting on one's own history and culture enable an open relationship with patients from other cultures.

RESUMEN

Background: Immigrants to Canada count among the socially disadvantaged groups experiencing higher rates of oral disease. Culturally competent oral health care providers (OHCPs) stand to be allies for immigrant oral health. The literature reveals limited knowledge of practising OHCPs' cultural competency, and little synthesis of the topic has been completed. A scoping review is warranted to identify and map current knowledge of OHCPs' understanding of culturally competent care along with barriers and facilitators to developing capacity. Methods: This study was conducted between December 2022 and April 2023 using Arksey and O'Malley's 5-step framework and PRISMA-ScR checklist. Four databases were searched using keywords related to 4 themes: population, provider, oral health, and cultural competence. Peer-reviewed articles published in English in the last 10 years were included. Results: Search results yielded 74 articles. Title and abstract review was completed and an author-developed critical appraisal tool was applied. Forty-six (46) articles were subject to full-text review and 14 met eligibility criteria: 7 qualitative and 7 quantitative. Six barriers and six facilitators at individual and systemic levels were identified, affecting oral care for immigrants and providers' ability to work cross-culturally. Discussion: Lack of cultural or linguistically appropriate resources, guidance, and structural supports were identified as contributing to low utilization of services and to lack of familiarity between providers and immigrants. Conclusion: OHCPs' cultural competency development is required to improve oral health care access and outcomes for diverse populations. Further research is warranted to identify factors impeding OHCPs' capacity to provide culturally sensitive care. Intentional policy development and knowledge mobilization are needed.


Contexte : Les immigrants au Canada comptent parmi les groupes socialement défavorisés qui connaissent des taux plus élevés de maladies buccodentaires. Les fournisseurs de soins buccodentaires culturellement adaptés sont des alliés pour la santé buccodentaire des immigrants. La documentation révèle une connaissance limitée de la compétence culturelle des fournisseurs de soins buccodentaires en pratique, et peu de synthèse du sujet a été effectuée. Un examen de la portée est nécessaire pour déterminer et mettre en correspondance les connaissances actuelles des fournisseurs de soins buccodentaires sur la compréhension des soins culturellement adaptés ainsi que les obstacles et les facteurs favorables au renforcement des capacités. Méthodes: Cette étude a été menée entre décembre 2022 et avril 2023 à l'aide du cadre en 5 étapes d'Arksey et O'Malley et de la liste de vérification PRISMA-SCr. Pour ce faire, 4 bases de données ont été consultées à l'aide de mots clés liés à 4 thèmes : population, fournisseur, santé buccodentaire et compétence culturelle. Les articles évalués par les pairs publiés en anglais au cours des 10 dernières années ont été inclus. Résultats: La recherche a rapporté 74 articles. Un examen des titres et des résumés a été effectué et un outil d'évaluation critique élaboré par l'auteur a été utilisé. En tout, 46 articles ont fait l'objet d'un examen du texte intégral et 14 répondaient aux critères d'admissibilité : 7 qualitatifs et 7 quantitatifs. À partir de ces articles, 6 obstacles et 6 facteurs favorables aux niveaux individuel et systémique ont été cernés; ceux-ci ont un effet sur les soins buccodentaires des immigrants et à la capacité des fournisseurs de travailler de façon interculturelle. Discussion: Le manque de ressources, d'orientation et de soutien structurel culturellement ou linguistiquement appropriés a été identifié comme contribuant à une faible utilisation des services et à un manque de familiarité entre les fournisseurs et les immigrants. Conclusion: Le perfectionnement des compétences culturelles des fournisseurs de soins buccodentaires est nécessaire pour améliorer l'accès aux soins de santé buccodentaire et les résultats pour diverses populations. D'autres recherches sont nécessaires pour cerner les facteurs qui nuisent à la capacité des fournisseurs de soins buccodentaires de fournir des soins adaptés à la culture. L'élaboration délibérée de politiques et la mobilisation des connaissances sont nécessaires.

RESUMEN

On August 31, 2023, the Chilean government ended the health alert for COVID-19. This milestone invites us to reflect on lessons learned in emergency preparedness and response regarding migrant populations in the country. In this context, three perspectives are presented. The first focuses on avoiding pointing to individual responsibility for non-compliance with prevention measures, as this approach ignores structural and historical inequities. Emergency recommendations should be constructed considering a collective approach and diverse sociocultural and political contexts. The second perspective calls for considering and addressing migration as a social determinant of health. During the pandemic, changes in the governance of migration around the world made migration processes more precarious, with risks to the physical and mental health of migrants, which needs better planning and evidence-based decision-making in future pandemics. The third perspective focuses on promoting intercultural health, as effective communication of contagion risks and preventive measures were hampered among migrant populations with diverse worldviews and interpretations of health and disease processes. Responding to the needs of historically marginalized communities requires establishing ways of life that respect diversity in narratives and everyday practices. Governments and health systems must incorporate migration into their emergency preparedness and response strategies, creating the conditions for optimal compliance.


El 31 de agosto de 2023, el Gobierno de Chile puso fin a la alerta sanitaria por COVID-19. Este hito invita a reflexionar sobre lecciones aprendidas respecto a la preparación y respuesta ante emergencias, que sean sensibles e informadas sobre la experiencia de la población migrante de nuestro país. En este marco, se presentan tres perspectivas. La primera se centra en evitar la responsabilización individual en el incumplimiento de las medidas de prevención del contagio, ya que este enfoque ignora las inequidades estructurales e históricas. Las recomendaciones de emergencia se deben construir bajo un abordaje colectivo y con la consideración de los diversos contextos socioculturales y políticos. La segunda perspectiva llama a tomar en cuenta y abordar la migración como determinante social de la salud de la población en la preparación y respuesta ante emergencias. Durante la pandemia, los cambios en la gobernanza de la migración en todo el mundo precarizaron los procesos migratorios, con riesgos para la salud física y mental de las personas que migran. Esto requiere una mejor planificación y decisiones informadas en evidencia científica para futuras pandemias. La tercera perspectiva se enfoca en promover la interculturalidad, dado que la comunicación de los riesgos de contagio y de las medidas preventivas se vio dificultada entre poblaciones migrantes con diversas cosmovisiones e interpretaciones de los procesos de salud y enfermedad. Asimismo, el responder a las necesidades de aquellas comunidades históricamente marginadas, requiere establecer modos de vida que respeten la diversidad en las narrativas y las prácticas cotidianas. Los gobiernos y sistemas sanitarios deben incorporar la migración a sus estrategias de preparación y respuesta ante emergencias, con la construcción de las condiciones para su cumplimiento óptimo.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: This paper will describe the research protocol for the Deadly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nursing and Midwifery Mentoring (DANMM) Project, which will determine the feasibility and acceptability of a cultural mentoring programme designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives across five diverse local health districts in New South Wales, Australia. Government and health agencies highlight the importance of culturally appropriate and safe environments for Aboriginal people. Specifically, New South Wales Health prioritises workforce strategies that support Aboriginal people to enter and stay in the health workforce. However, retaining Aboriginal nurses and midwives remains challenging. The DANMM Project aligns with these local and state-wide health plans and strategies, addressing critical issues of workforce cultural safety and retention. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A mixed-methods study design will be employed to assess feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the DANMM Programme across five publicly funded local health districts in New South Wales, Australia. Adhering to cultural safety, a project cultural governance group will be formed. Quantitative outcome measures include the use of questionnaires (Nursing Workplace Satisfaction Questionnaire, Ganngaleh nga Yagaleh Cultural Safety assessment tool). Resource implications will be measured using the Organisational Commitment and Health Professional Program Readiness Assessment Compass. These will be triangulated with individual and group yarning circles to provide a holistic evaluation of the programme. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has ethics approval: Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council (#2054/23); New South Wales Health Human Research Committees (Greater Western Human Research Committee #2022/ETH01971, Murrumbidgee-site-specific approval, Sydney Local Health District-site-specific approval, Western Sydney Local Health District-site-specific approval and Mid North Coast-site-specific approval); and Charles Sturt University Human Research Committee (#2054/23). Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed articles, conferences and through roundtable discussions with key stakeholders.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Maternal and child malnutrition represents a public health problem in Mexico Primary care (PC) is responsible for introducing women and children under five to the health system, detecting diseases on time, and providing medical services, including pharmacological treatment if necessary. Providing these services with quality is essential to improve maternal and child health. This study evaluated the quality of nutritional care during preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, and preschool age at the PC health units across six Mexican states between 2020 and 2021. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study with a mixed approach in units of the Secretary of Health to assess the quality of nutritional care during preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, childhood, and preschool age. The level of quality was calculated by the percentage of compliance with 16 indicators that integrated a Quality Index of Maternal and Child Nutritional Care (ICANMI, by its Spanish acronym). Compliance by indicator, by life stage, and overall was categorized using the following cut-off points: poor quality (≤ 70%), insufficient quality (71-89%), and good quality (≥ 90%). The perceptions of the barriers and facilitators that affect maternal and child nutrition were evaluated through semi-structured interviews with health professionals (HP) and users. All qualitative instruments were developed with a gender and intercultural perspective. RESULTS: Considering the whole sample studied, maternal and child nutritional care quality during the five life stages evaluated was bad (compliance: ≤12%), reflected in the ICANMI, which had a compliance of 8.3%. Principal barriers identified to providing high-quality nutritional care were the lack of knowledge and training of health professionals, shortages of equipment, medicine, personnel, and materials, the disappearance of the social cash transfer program Prospera, the absence of local indigenous language translators to support communication between doctor and patient, and the persistence of machismo and other practices of control over women. CONCLUSIONS: These findings underscore the need for initiatives to improve the quality of nutritional care in PC facilities across Chihuahua, State of Mexico, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Yucatan. It is necessary for government and health authorities, along with various stakeholders, to collaboratively devise, implement, and assess intercultural and gender-oriented policies and programs geared towards ensuring the health infrastructure and enhancing the training of health professionals to diagnose and treat the prevalence and occurrence of diverse forms of malnutrition in both maternal and child populations.


RESUMEN: ANTECEDENTES: La mala nutrición materno-infantil (MMI) representa un problema de salud pública en México. El primer nivel tiene la respondabilidad de introducir a mujeres y niños menores de 5 años al sistema de salud, detectar oportunamente las enfermedades y brindar servicios médicos incluido el farmacológico de ser necesario. Prestar estos servicios con calidad resulta elemental para mejorar la salud de la población materno-infantil. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la calidad de la atención nutricional durante las etapas de preconcepción, embarazo, posparto, infancia y edad preescolar en centros de salud de seis estados de México entre 2020 y 2021. MéTODOS: Se realizó un estudio transversal con metodología mixta en 95 centros de salud la Secretaría de Salud de México para evaluar la calidad de la atención nutricional durante la preconcepción, el embarazo, el posparto, la infancia y la etapa preescolar. El nivel de calidad se calculó mediante el porcentaje de cumplimiento de 16 indicadores que a su vez integraron un Índice de Calidad de la Atención Nutricional Materno Infantil (ICANMI). El cumplimiento por indicador, etapa de vida y global fue categorizado utilizando los siguientes puntos de corte: mala calidad (≤ 70%), calidad insuficiente (71-89%) y buena calidad (≥ 90%). La percepción sobre las barreras y facilitadores que afectan la atención nutricional materno-infantil fueron identificadas a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales realizadas a profesionales de salud, usuarias y usuarios. Todos los instrumentos cualitativos fueron desarrollados con un enfoque de género e interculturalidad. RESULTADOS: La calidad de la atención nutricional materno infantil durante las cinco etapas de la vida evaluadas fue mala (cumplimiento: ≤12%), mientras que el ICANMI tuvo un cumplimiento de 8.3%. Las principales barreras identificadas para brindar una atención nutricional de alta calidad fueron la falta de conocimiento y capacitación de los profesionales de la salud, la escasez de equipos, medicamentos, personal y materiales, la desaparición del programa social de transferencias monetarias Prospera, la ausencia de una lengua indígena local, entre otros. Así como la persistencia de prácticas como el machismo y otras de control sobre las mujeres. CONCLUSIONES: Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad inmediata de implementar iniciativas que mejoren el estándar de atención nutricional en los centros de salud en Chihuahua, Estado de México, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas y Yucatán. Es necesario que el gobierno y las autoridades sanitarias, junto con diversas partes interesadas, diseñen, implementen y evalúen en colaboración políticas y programas orientados a mejorar la calidad de la atención nutricional, con perspectiva de género e interculturalidad. Este esfuerzo tiene como objetivo mitigar la prevalencia y aparición de diversas formas de desnutrición tanto en la población materna como infantil.

RESUMEN

Although Western biomedical ethics emphasizes respect for autonomy, the medical decision-making of Muslim patients interacting with Western healthcare systems is more likely to be motivated by relational ethical and religious commitments that reflect the ideals of equity, reciprocity, and justice. Based on an in-depth cross-cultural comparison of Islamic and Western systems of biomedical ethics and an assessment of conceptual alignments and differences, we argue that, when working with Muslim patients, an ethics of respect extends to facilitating decision-making grounded in the patient's justice-related customs, beliefs, and obligations. We offer an overview of the philosophical contestations of autonomy-enhancing practices from the Islamic tradition of biomedical ethics, and examples that demonstrate a recommended shift of emphasis from an autonomy-centered to a justice-focused approach to culturally competent agency-promotion.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, or other sexual orientations or gender identities (LGBTQ+) cultural competency training is offered in pharmacy curricula to variable extents. State legislation directly dictates pharmacist training through continuing pharmacy education (CPE) requirements. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the U.S. states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) that require CPE or training on topics related to LGBTQ+ cultural competency or topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in general. In addition, this study quantified and compared each state's CPE hours required for each renewal period. METHODS: This cross-sectional study retrospectively examined pharmacy legislation on CPE requirements for each of the 50 U.S. states and D.C. Only state legislation that was signed into law and related to pharmacy practice was included. Official websites for each board of pharmacy were identified to locate lawbooks, laws, rules, regulations, and statutes specific to pharmacy practice. Search terms included "lgbt," "lgbtq," "cultural," "cultural competency," "equity," "health equity," "implicit," and "implicit bias." Two study investigators independently collected data from March 2023 to April 2023. Data were re-reviewed for accuracy in January 2024. Discrepancies were resolved through discussion until a consensus was reached. The total number of required CPE hours, years for each pharmacist license renewal, required LGBTQ+ cultural competency CPE hours, and required DEI-focused CPE hours were described using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: A total of 44 of 51 states and D.C. required 30 CPE hours for each 2-year renewal cycle or 15 CPE hours for each 1-year renewal cycle. California and D.C. had LGBTQ+ cultural competency CPE requirements of 1 CPE hour or 2 CPE hours per cycle, respectively. Five additional states, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington, required training or CPE on topics related to DEI as a whole. CONCLUSION: Few U.S. states require CPE on LGBTQ+ cultural competency. This study highlights the need for standardized pharmacist training in LGBTQ+ health care.

RESUMEN

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia face disparities in accessing culturally safe and appropriate health services. While current cultural safety and responsiveness frameworks set standards for improving healthcare practices, ensuring accountability and sustainability of changes, necessitates robust mechanisms for auditing and monitoring progress. This study examined existing cultural safety audit tools, and facilitators and barriers to implementation, in the context of providing culturally safe and responsive healthcare services with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This will assist organisations, interested in developing tools, to assess culturally responsive practice. A scoping review was undertaken using Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, Informit and PsychInfo databases. Articles were included if they described an audit tool used for healthcare practices with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Selected tools were evaluated based on alignment with the six capabilities of the Indigenous Allied Health Australia (IAHA) Cultural Responsiveness in Action Framework. Implementation barriers and facilitators were identified. 15 papers were included. Audit tools varied in length, terminology, domains assessed and whether they had been validated or evaluated. Seven papers reported strong reliability and validity of the tools, and one reported tool evaluation. Implementation facilitators included: tool comprehensiveness and structure; effective communication; clear organisational responsibility for implementation; commitment to prioritising cultural competence; and established accountability mechanisms. Barriers included: the tool being time-consuming and inflexible; responsibility for implementation falling on a small team or single staff member; deprioritising tool use; and lack of accountability for implementation. Two of the six IAHA capabilities (respect for the centrality of cultures and inclusive engagement) were strongly reflected in the tools. The limited tool evaluation highlights the need for further research to determine implementation effectiveness and sustainability. Action-oriented tools, which comprehensively reflect all cultural responsiveness capabilities, are lacking and further research is needed to progress meaningful change within the healthcare system.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intercultural and Global Health Issues was developed to address learning outcomes in communication, ways of thinking, intercultural personal skills, and intercultural knowledge. The aim of this study was to assess learning gains of pharmacy students through self-assessment. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTING: Course design, learning outcomes, objectives, and activities were created to meet the expected educational outcomes. A revised rubric was created from the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AACU) Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education rubrics on Intercultural knowledge, Information literacy, and Creative thinking. Students completed self-assessments at the beginning and end of the course. Ward hierarchical clustering, paired sample t-tests, and independent t-tests analyzed multidimensional data in two clusters. FINDINGS: Cluster 1 (C1) students reported pre-course capstone performances for cultural self-awareness, problem solving, and access and use of information ethically and legally. Post-course scores for C1 students statistically increased for all AACU domains reaching capstone performances for intercultural competence, creative thinking, and information literacy. Cluster 2 (C2) students reported capstone performance levels for all AACU domains from the beginning to the end of the course. All students reported achievement of self-efficacy, creative thinking, and cultural competency at the end of the course. There was no statistically significant difference in course learning outcome scores for C1 and C2 students. SUMMARY: Students achieved embedded learning outcomes of ways of thinking, communication, interpersonal skills, and intercultural knowledge as demonstrated from self-assessments. Course activities aided students' demonstration of self-efficacy, creative thinking, and intercultural knowledge.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Multicultural organizations in the era of globalization require intercultural leadership skills. Healthcare, as a sector serving diverse populations, necessitates culturally sensitive staff. Intercultural nurse education should start in undergraduate education. A tailored approach is needed, especially in the context of Poland's refugee crisis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate how a multicultural personality profile and specific intercultural perspectives affect the attitudes of nursing students towards Ukrainian refugee background healthcare professionals. DESIGN: A nationwide cross-sectional multicentre online survey study was conducted. The questionnaire was distributed with the aid of the Lime Survey web platform. METHODS: The study utilized a Polish version of the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire. The questionnaire also included demographics and questions assessing intercultural competence and attitudes towards refugee medical professionals. K-Means Cluster Analysis was used to classify different patterns of multicultural personality. P-value <0.05 was deemed to be statistically significant. PARTICIPANTS: The study sample consisted of 1325 undergraduate nursing students from 39 nursing schools in Poland: 54.0% in first year, 28.7% in second year, and 17.3% in third year. Most respondents were female (N = 1229, 90%). RESULTS: Using cluster analysis respondents were categorized into four groups based on their level of three analyzed multicultural personality traits: cultural empathy, social initiative, and open-mindedness (high, low, average or mixed level). Statistical analysis demonstrated that personality profiles significantly affected nursing students' attitudes towards refugee health professionals (p = 0.003). Additionally, students' willingness to engage in intercultural communication classes and their belief in the learnability of intercultural competence also impacted their attitudes (p < 0.001 for both). Further analysis revealed correlations between personality profiles, belief in competency acquisition, and willingness to enhance competencies. CONCLUSION: The design of intercultural competence education for undergraduate nursing students should be preceded by a mapping of the students' personality profile and a needs analysis in this regard, which may contribute to long-term effectiveness of such initiatives.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to understand how, why and in what context upskilling programmes for unregulated care providers (UCPs) to provide foot screening for systematically marginalised groups living with diabetes were implemented. DESIGN: We used realist synthesis based on Realist And Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards guidance. DATA SOURCES: We searched the Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus databases and the grey literature (Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses) up to November 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: We included experimental and non-experimental articles in English that either described mechanisms or discussed expected outcomes for educational interventions for patients and family caregivers or healthcare providers, both regulated and unregulated. We also included articles that evaluated the impact of foot care programmes if the UCPs' training was described. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: The lead author extracted, annotated and coded uploaded relevant data to identify contexts, mechanisms and outcome configurations using MAXQDA (a qualitative data analysis software). We used deductive and inductive coding to structure the process. Our team members double-reviewed and appraised a random sample of 20% of articles at all stages to ensure consistency. RESULTS: Our search identified 52 articles. Evidence suggested the necessity of developing upskilling foot screening programmes within the context of preventive care programmes that also provide education in diabetes, and early referrals for appropriate interventions. Multidisciplinary programmes created an ideal context facilitating coordination between UCPs and their regulated counterparts. Engaging patients and community partners, using a competency-based model, and incorporating cultural competencies were determinants of success for these programmes. CONCLUSION: This review provides a realistic programme theory for the mechanisms used, the context in which these programmes were developed, and the expected outcomes to train UCPs to provide preventive foot care for systematically marginalised populations.

RESUMEN

AIM: To examine the association between the integrated care competencies and cross-cultural competence of registered nurses prior to the integration of social and healthcare services in Finland. DESIGN: A descriptive correlational cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted. METHODS: A simple random sample of 10,000 registered nurses was drawn from the Finnish Central Register of Valvira (National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health); 7000 of them were sent the online questionnaire, and a total of 1232 registered nurses participated in the study. We collected data using background questions, revised versions of the Competent Workforce for the Future tool in the four domains of client orientation, responsibility for personal or relative's welfare, fluency and clarity of services and access to the services and of the Cross-Cultural Competence of Healthcare Professional tool in the four domains of motivation/curiosity, attitude, skill and emotion/empathy. RESULTS: Participants demonstrated a high level of integrated care competencies (mean = 4.00, SD ± 0.49). An association was observed between integrated care competencies and their domains of skills, motivation/curiosity, emotions/empathy, and cross-cultural competence (p < 0.001). Female sex, older age, more working experience, employment in the private sector, and higher self-rated competence for working in a multicultural environment were positively associated with higher integrated care competencies. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that nurse managers and nurse educators emphasize the development of registered nurses' cross-cultural competence alongside integrated care competencies to meet the needs of different individuals and communities when providing integrated care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Finnish registered nurses including all types of nurses, midwives and paramedics working the public and private healthcare, were involved in this study by responding to the online survey.

PURPOSE: Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) patients experience many barriers when seeking quality healthcare services, including ineffective communication and negative relationships with their providers as well as a lack of provider competence (including knowledge, training, and experience) and humility (engagement in the process of self-reflection and self-critique) in treating TGNB individuals. The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify factors associated with cultural competence and humility that facilitate and impede effective relationships between TGNB young adults and their healthcare providers. METHODS: Data came from individual interviews with 60 young adults aged 18 to 24 from Florida who self-identified as transgender or nonbinary. We analyzed the data using inductive thematic approaches, and a feminist perspective, to identify themes associated with patient-provider relationships. CONCLUSIONS: We identified 4 themes related to patient-provider relationships: (1) Participants indicated effective patient-provider communication and relationships are facilitated by providers requesting and utilizing TGNB patients' correct names and personal pronouns. (2) Participant narratives conveyed their preferences that providers "follow their lead" in terms of how they described their own anatomy, reinforcing the utility of cultural humility as an approach for interactions with TGNB patients (3) Participants discussed the detrimental effects of TGNB patients having to educate their own providers about their identities and needs, suggesting clinicians' competence regarding gender diversity is paramount to fostering and maintaining patient comfort. (4) Finally, participants' responses indicated concerns regarding the confidentiality and privacy of the information they provided to their providers, suggesting a lack of trust detrimental to the process of building rapport between patients and their providers. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Our findings indicate balancing the use of cultural humility and cultural competence during clinical encounters with TGNB young adults can enhance patients' experiences seeking healthcare. Nursing education is often devoid of focus on caring for transgender and nonbinary persons. Additional provider training and education on approaching clinical encounters with TGNB patients with cultural humility and competence should improve patient-provider communication and relationships, leading to a higher quality of patient care.

RESUMEN

Nursing academicians are positioned at a critical juncture to mold the future generations of nursing with the skills of cultural humility, starting with fostering humility in the classroom. The dynamic culture of nursing education, with consideration of the diversity of nursing students and faculty, commands attention before the exploration of what is taught about the culture of patients. Classroom cultural humility must become the "brave space" of nursing academia. This is possible with strategic approaches and revisiting the history of the culture of nursing education before trying to shape its future.

RESUMEN

This article calls for a closer examination of health equity regarding the disparities and inequities in health care among marginalized and vulnerable populations. A review of strategies to improve culturally responsive care to these populations will be examined. This examination includes a discussion of the need for structural competence and the ongoing debate around the concepts of cultural competence and cultural humility. Cultural competemility, a new paradigm of thought regarding the relationship between cultural competence and cultural humility, will be proposed. This article culminates with downstream, midstream, and upstream approaches reducing the magnitude of inequity among marginalized and vulnerable populations.
