RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Educators require focused training to foster the development of intercultural competence in nurses. Training programs for educators need to be based on a comprehensive profile with a focus on intercultural learning. This study aims to define and validate a profile of the Intercultural Nursing Educator (INE). METHOD: The Delphi method was used with an iterative, multi-stage process to transform opinions into group consensus. A total of 46 European, African, and American experts from the nursing and intercultural field participated. Inclusion criteria required English at a level of B2, expertise in the field of intercultural competence, experience in teaching intercultural competence in the nursing context, and publications focused on intercultural topics. RESULTS: The INE profile was developed and all 126 competencies were validated. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The profile is freely available on the project website and provides the basis for curricula, training programs and assessment of the required competences.
