Cultural competence in nursing refers to the ability to provide care to patients with diverse values, beliefs, and behaviors, including tailoring healthcare delivery to meet patients’ social and cultural needs. A culturally competent nurse respects and acknowledges cultural differences. The nurse also acknowledges cultural differences and is committed to delivering equitable and effective care across all populations. To ensure I remain culturally competent in my practice I will build trusting relationships with patients by showing respect and empathy. I will also reflect on my own cultural identity. Advocating for inclusive policies and practices in the work place will also ensure that I am culturally competent. By committing to a lifelong learning and open mindedness, I can provide high- quality care that honors each patient’s unique background and promotes positive health outcomes ( CampinhaBacote, 1998.)
