Culture In Nursing

Culture influences the health practices and attitudes of patients by providers and patients. Therefore, to become a culturally competent nurse, one has to integrate knowledge, attitude and skills in supporting and caring for people across different cultures. Knowledge is the cognition of culture base of people of different cultures including their traditions and values. Understanding other people’s culture helps understand how they view illnesses and its different treatment modalities (Chae & Park, 2019). While knowledge is important, there is need for a right attitude for it to translate into culturally competent care.
