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.
Developing cultural competence is an ongoing process; it happens over time. This process involves developing cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills in order to treat all patients as uniquely as possible. Health care providers and health care organizations alike should participate in the process of developing cultural competence in order to minimize barriers to health care.
