The study focuses on the potential use of conceptual models of cultural competences in the nursing profession.
The research was designed as a summary study and based on content analysis of studies published within the scientific databases EBSCOhost, PubMed and Scopus, by using the key words: cultural competence, model and nursing.
The study points out the influence of globalization as a spontaneous uncontrolled process of integration of countries around the world in a single system, and the subsequent need for cultural competence. The most frequently cited cultural competences are knowledge, skills, attitudes, the ability to react in a kind and efficient manner to people from all cultures, recognition, respect and responsibility, provision of qualified care and the long-term process of self-education. The conceptual models presented in this article and characterized by cultural competence include the Great Theory of Nursing by Madeleine Leininger, the model of Irena Papadopoulus, Mary Tilki and Gina Taylor of the development of cultural competence, the model of development of cultural competence by Josepha Campinha-Bacote, and the model of cultural competences by Larry D. Purnell.
The results showed that cultural competence constitutes an indispensable component of the modern nursing profession in connection with transcultural nursing. The analysis of the published works pointed out that the above stated models are essential for the field of nursing.
