Assessing social, cultural, and biophysical factors before initiating the treatment
Campinha-Bacote's model suggests that nurses see themselves as becoming rather than being culturally competent because cultural competency is developmental. Cultural skill is better explained by the ability to assess social, cultural, and biophysical factors that influence patient treatment and care. Cultural awareness involves an in-depth self-examination of one's own background, recognizing biases, prejudices, and assumptions about other people. Cultural encounters provide cross-cultural interactions that create opportunities to learn about other cultures and develop effective intercultural communication. Cultural knowledge helps the nurse obtain sufficient comparative knowledge of the values, health beliefs, care practices, world views, and bicultural ecology commonly found within each group.
