Evaluation and Promotion of Cultural Competence of Nurses in Asia
Description: This study investigates the actual conditions of providing health care services to the foreign patients in the Japanese hospitals and evaluates cultural competence among Japanese clinical nurses using the Japanese version of the Caffrey Cultural Competence Health Services (J-CCCHC). Of the 195 participating hospitals, those providing in-service education regarding cultural competence were less than 10%. The average score on J-CCCHC of 7,494 Japanese clinical nurses was 1.85 (SD=.52), which was lower than the international studies. The Japanese version inventory, J-CCCHC, was developed and its construct validation performed first in this study. Of the participants, 72.5% nurses had the experience of caring for foreign patients and their major difficulties were communication and cultural barriers. An application was developed (http://ancc.link/app) and implemented to improve the cultural competence of nurses in Asia.
