Simulating the Refugee Experience to Cultivate Cultural Competence and Sensitivity
Abstract:
Although the United States has offered refuge to millions of immigrants, healthcare providers still lack sufficient understanding of social and ethnic issues in this population. Sociocultural barriers inhibit service accessibility and compromise the quality and appropriateness of care for resettled refugees. To address this issue, faculty from a school of nursing pioneered a spiritually and culturally centered simulation experience to enhance prelicensure students' cultural competence and sensitivity in caring for refugees.
