摘要
One of the major goals of culturally competent nursing and healthcare practice is to decrease health and healthcare disparities. All healthcare professionals need similar information for cultural competence. However, to date, most of the tools measure knowledge, skills and abilities but not true competence from a clinical practice setting. Several tools measure and/or evaluate the organization's cultural diversity mission but not the providers of healthcare.
