Cultural competence is one of the important aspects to understand as a nurse to properly
care for your patients within their cultural heritage. What exactly is cultural competence you ask,
well let me explain a little more in-depth about what makes it so important and what it is? When
describing culture, it is a group of people who share the same values, customs, beliefs, and
religious practices. (Purnell, 2014) Being aware of cultural difference is important because this
will better assist you with caring for your patients and also show your patients the proper respect
and dignity they deserve.
When a healthcare provider evaluates on how competent their care is one thinks it's on
the way they communicate with their patients. However, this is not the case. For a provider and
their nursing staff, to provide competent care to their patients, they must first look at themselves
and think about the way they communicate and their behaviors towards patients. Once they have
done that they are better able to identify how to speak with patients who have different cultural
standards thus making them more cultural competent (Purnell, 2014).
One important thing a healthcare professional can do is look at the Purnell Cultural
Competence model to help improve their skills in communication and care. The Purnell Model
for Cultural Competence and its organizing framework as a guide for assessing the culture of
patients (Purnell, 2014). This model helps the provider differentiate from all different cultures
assisting them professional pick a culturally competent care plan for an individual. It also
provides information on the society, beliefs, family aspects, and personal preferences for that
culture depending if the patient is male or female (Purnell, 2014). When you are looking at the
Purnell model, you want to look at the overview and heritage section; this includes information
regarding the country you were born in and economics, politics, reasons for moving, education
