Objective:
The aim of the proposed scoping review is to identify training programs in multicultural competencies for health care staff and health students in professional and academic settings.
Introduction:
Cultural competence training for health care professionals is an imperative challenge in today's culturally diverse societies to ensure that all people receive equitable and effective health care, particularly those from culturally diverse backgrounds.
Inclusion Criteria:
This scoping review will consider literature with adult participants aged ≥ 18 years, health care staff, and health students who may have received or are receiving multicultural competencies training. Literature published since 1960 in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French will be considered for inclusion. Literature will be excluded if it reports on multicultural competencies training programs for students outside the health domain or for non-professional high school programs.
Methods:
The search strategy, designed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will aim to find both published and unpublished literature. The following electronic databases will be searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Web of Science, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (RCAAP), and Open Grey. Other sites to be searched include ClinicalTrials.gov; United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); International Organization for Migration (IOM); and International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe (IMISCOE). The screening process will consist of two steps carried out by two independent reviewers: firstly, screening by title and abstract; and secondly, by full text. Data will be charted to describe the body of literature according to the review research questions, which were defined following the Population, Concept, Context (PCC) mnemonic. Data will be presented graphically when possible, and accompanied by a narrative that describes the characteristics of the training programs.
