Book Description
There is an emphasis by many professional organizations and accreditation bodies to integrate cultural competency education into nursing curricula. Quantitative and qualitative studies have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of cultural immersion courses for the development of cultural competence for nursing students. The Quality and Safety within the Education for Nursing (QSEN) competencies serve as an excellent framework to begin planning a course, or as a tool for improvement of existing courses for nursing faculty. Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was one of the 13 pilot schools chosen to facilitate the integration of QSEN competencies. An assistant professor at Augustana developed a January-interim immersion course in Ecuador for senior nursing students, focusing on the development of cultural competence and leadership skills. The QSEN competencies that served as the course's foundation included teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and patient-centered care. Over three years, 24 nursing students participated. The QSEN competencies provided the link for embracing the art and science of nursing across cultural boundaries.
