Abstract:
Knowledge, sensitivity, and competence relative to culture, diversity, and health have been identified as essential, valued, fundamental, and core components of safe, effective, quality nursing practice. However, experience suggests that most nursing students assume that content related to culture and diversity is "nice to know" but not essential to nursing practice. This article describes an exercise that used student inquiry to identify their needs and interests related to the influence of history and culture on health care practices of racially and ethnically defined population groups. Instructional resources deemed useful for addressing the nursing students' interests and needs ompetencare proposed and presented.
