How would you define cultural competency and why is this an important topic to learn about?
Have you ever thought about what knowledge you need to have and how this shapes your ability to interact with diverse others? why or why not?

Reflect on your own journey of cultural competency, including the concepts and experiences addressed in this course. Address the following four objectives and express your personal level of achievement of each objective:
Explore your own cultural identity and heritage and confront biases and stereotypes.
Develop an awareness and understanding of the complexities of the modern healthcare delivery system – its philosophy and problems, biases, and stereotypes.
Develop a keen awareness of the socialization process that brings the provider into this complex system.
Develop the ability to “hear” things that transcend language, and to foster an understanding of the patient and his or her cultural heritage, and the resilience found within the culture that supports family and community structures.
Identify areas in which you see the need for further development and improvement. Create a professional development plan to address these areas. Include web-based and/or community resources and opportunities for service that can assist you in working toward achievement of the above objectives.
Using a simple table with two columns label your columns Personal Cultural Need in Column 1 and Achieving the Need in Column 2.
Cultural competency
Cultural competency means to be respectful and responsive to the health beliefs and practices—and cultural and linguistic needs—of diverse population groups. Discuss strategies to provide care to patients who are from different cultures and may have different cultural beliefs. For example, what might the APN do if the patient refuses a high-quality, evidence-based treatment meant to cure the illness because of cultural beliefs? How can the APN respect cultural beliefs while still providing quality care? In what ways can the nurse do more than simply “do no harm?”
