Cultural Humility in Nursing: A Concept Analysis
Background:
The ability of nurses to deliver culturally mindful health care may be vital to improving the patient-clinician relationship and subsequent health outcomes for marginalized populations. Continuing education in cultural training should be designed to enhance a nurse's cultural humility.
Method:
This study explores the concept of nurse cultural humility using the methods outlined by Walker and Avant (2018): define the attributes, offer a model case exemplifying the attributes, discuss the antecedents and consequences, and determine empirical referents.
Results:
The defining attributes of cultural humility in nursing are a lifelong process of reflexivity, an understanding and appreciation that the cultural backgrounds of both nurse and patient influence health care encounters, and a commitment to redress and mitigate power imbalances in the patient-clinician relationship.
Conclusion:
By clearly defining nurse cultural humility, leaders will be able to develop cultural training interventions to enhance nurse cultural humility and measure the concept accurately. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(12):596-603.].
