Transcultural Nursing Skills Self-Assessment (graded)

Nurses complete assessments on individuals on a daily basis. Self-assessments are in order before considering our abilities to provide culturally competent nursing care.

1. Complete the Transcultural Nursing Skills Self-Assessment Form located in Doc Sharing.

2. Note the number of “no” answers in your self-assessment.

3. Share one or two of your “no” answers with your classmates and describe how you will convert the “no” to a “yes” over the next few weeks.

4. What interventions are needed to turn each “no” into a “yes” response?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

Transcultural Nursing Skills

Introduction

Nurse practitioners are nurses who have completed a master’s degree in nursing and are licensed to practice independently. They may work in any type of health care setting, including hospitals and clinics. Advances in the field of neuroscience may give nurses new insights into the brain and body, which can be applied to illness diagnosis and treatment.

Cultural Concepts

Cultural concepts are beliefs, values, and behaviors that are generally shared by a group of people. These concepts may be religious, political or social in nature. They may also include disease concepts and explanatory models.

Cultural concepts can be very different from one culture to another. For example: In Western culture we understand the concept of “right”, but in many other cultures this same word has different meanings depending on which group you’re talking about (e.g., in Japan it means “unfair” while in America it means something completely different).

General Communication

• General Communication

• Understanding of nonverbal communication. The ability to adapt communication to the cultural context, such as using a more formal language or using gestures when appropriate.

• Ability to develop a therapeutic relationship with patients from other cultures and backgrounds who may have difficulty expressing themselves through verbal means.

Gender Roles and Family Dynamics

Gender roles and family dynamics are important to understand when working with cross-cultural populations. For example, in some cultures it’s common for men to do the chores at home while women care for children and household duties. In other cultures, this is reversed—women handle the bulk of domestic work while men do more outside work like construction or farming.

In many Western countries like the United States, our culture is based on gender equality where each person has equal opportunity regardless of their gender identity or expression (ex: being transgender). However even though we may have these beliefs about equality within society there can still be some discrepancies between how we treat people based on their sex/gender expression when they come into contact with us as nurses who work in hospitals everyday treating patients suffering from various illnesses such as cancer or diabetes etcetera…

Care of the Fetus, Infant and Child

Care of the Fetus, Infant and Child

Nursing is all about caring for people. One of the most important things you can do as a nurse is to look after your patients, especially those who are vulnerable or at risk of harm. This includes infants and children under 18 years old. As part of this role your job will involve providing care to newborns; infants who need regular medical attention (such as immunizations); toddlers; preschoolers; school-age children (from pre-school right through to adolescence); adolescents who may be experiencing illness or injury related to puberty or other life transitions such as moving away from home into independent living arrangements where they may need more support than usual due to social isolation etc.,

Care at the End of Life

In the last few decades, we have seen an increased interest in providing culturally appropriate care to people who are dying. This can be especially important when it comes to end-of-life care. The importance of this can’t be understated: It’s estimated that 20% of patients will die in a hospital; if you’re providing culturally competent care at their bedside, that number could go down significantly.

In addition to providing culturally competent information about death and dying (e.g., what happens next), you also need to learn about different beliefs about death and dying—beliefs which may differ from yours or those of your colleagues who work with people from different backgrounds than yours do so often find themselves working together with colleagues from various cultures around them every day!

Cultural Practices Related to Food and Nutrition

• How to prepare food. The way in which you prepare your food is a reflection of your culture and heritage. Some cultures like to eat with their hands, while others prefer chopsticks or spoons. Eating habits can vary from one region or country to another as well.

• How to eat food: When eating with other people, it’s important that you know how much they are eating and what they’re wearing (or not wearing) so that there won’t be any awkwardness when it comes time for dessert! If you’re eating alone, make sure your plate is clean before someone else arrives—this doesn’t mean all dishes have been washed yet; just make sure no one else has touched anything but themselves!

• Cooking skills: When preparing meals at home or in restaurants/catering services during holiday parties/etc…it helps if everyone knows what they need before hand so they don’t waste time searching around trying different ingredients before realizing there wasn’t enough salt present within proximity…and then having nobody else helping out either because nobody knew what was happening either since nobody knew anything about cooking beforehand besides maybe watching TV shows about chefs who do all sorts of crazy things like throwing knives into boiling water while screaming “I’m gonna die!”
