Abstract

Background: Cultural competence is one of the principal foundations of clinical nursing. It has not yet been clearly defined and analyzed and there are different views regarding this issue. Objective: Analyzing the concept of cultural competence in nursing. Design: A concept analysis. Data Sources: The literature was searched using electronic databases including CINAHL, Medline, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and EBSCO. Any quantitative or qualitative studies published in English, which were focused on cultural competence in nursing were included in the study. Review methods: Walker and Avant’s strategy for concept analysis was used. The attributes, antecedents, consequences, and uses of the concept were identified. Results: The four defining attributes of cultural competence were cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, cultural knowledge and skill, and dynamic and critical process. Antecedents included Cultural diversity, Cultural encounters and interaction, cultural desire, cultural modesty, educational groundwork, and organizational aid. The consequences of cultural competence included consequences related to patients, nurses, and healthcare organizations. Conclusion: A theoretical definition and a conceptual model of cultural competence were developed. The attributes, antecedents, and consequences of cultural competence identified in this study can be used in nursing education, research, and managerial and organizational planning.
