What is âCultural Competence?â. The Department of Health and Human Services defines cultural competence as âa set of behaviors, attitudes, and skills that enable nurses to work effectively in cross-cultural situations.â Of course, this definition, although accurate, does not delve into all the complexities of the term.
Cultural competence has gained attention as a potential strategy to improve quality and eliminate racial/ethnic disparities in health care. In 2002 we conducted interviews with experts in cultural competence from managed care, government, and academe to identify their perspectives on the field. We present our findings here and then identify recent trends in cultural competence focusing on health care policy, practice, and education.
