 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses

This chat is guest hosted by @WeLDnurses

Cultural competence is all about being able to understand and effectively interact with people from other cultures, both in terms of the people we care for for and the colleagues we work with. As nurses it’s vital that we have an understanding of cultures as we often act as advocates for the people we care for and a lack of understanding can significantly effect the care we give.


This tweetchat brings together WeNurses and WeLDNurses to address the following questions:


What is cultural competence and why is it important in nursing?

How do we develop cultural competence as nurses?How does culture affect the care we give ? 

How do we build cultural competence within out nursing teams?

What one thing would you say is important for nurses just coming into the profession to understand about cultural competence?

@WeNurses @WeLDnurses Hello everyone, first thoughts would be being aware of the different cultures we come into contact with daily in and out of our work environments and have an understanding of peoples backgrounds. #WeNurses
@knitknitqueen
30 September 2021 20:34
@WeNurses @WeLDnurses Evening for me it is understanding that there is difference and acknowledging this also. We are all different but we are all working towards to the same goal #WeNurses

@WeNurses @WeLDnurses I think it's about the culture of our patiens/resident but also of our staff. Even different areas within the UK do things differently. So being open to these differences and trying to understand their culture rather than impose ours on them #WeNurses

@TheAutisticRN
30 September 2021 20:39
@WeNurses As nursing is a diverse, people come into the profession and come into our care from different culture's. By being aware of different cultural, spiritual needs etc., the competence comes from by learning and being able to ask about a persons needs. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
30 September 2021 20:40
@PUNC21Paula @WeNurses @WeLDnurses really interesting thought - how do you envisage this practically taking place ?? Have you seen it work before ?? #WeNurses

@WeNurses Nurses should be competent in their work & have an unbiased approach as possible (acknowledging that we all have bias) to others' ideas, customs, traditions & beliefs. #WeNurses

Was super impressed today to be in a care home where Jamaican Reggae music was being played in the care home pub ... the care home has quite a few Jamaican residents ... a great example of cultural competence by the staff #WeNurses #BrunelcareNurses
@TheAutisticRN
30 September 2021 20:44
@Winn_on_Health @WeNurses Agreed, its essential to be aware of others around you, Id add to being non-judgmental as well as sometimes we can easily judge someone based on the culture. #WeNurses
@KindStudentMHN
30 September 2021 20:44
@AgencyNurse @WeNurses @WeLDnurses I envisage it happening via some sort of online platform and also possibly in person sessions in schools maybe...#WeNurses

30 September 2021 20:44
@PUNC21Paula @WeNurses @WeLDnurses sounds interesting - how would you envisage it working in reality ? #WeNurses (or are you not quite there yet?)
@GordonHill1
30 September 2021 20:45
@WeNurses I think that it is about openness and respect, and a willingness to learn. It is important to nursing to help to ensure that we act in an anti-discriminatory way #WeNurses
@CareHome_Nurse
30 September 2021 20:45
@WeNurses I think it is about understanding how culture impacts on how people access healthcare. For some religions it's only appropriate to speak with a professional of the same gender. Or you must speak with the head of the family not the person directly. So respect this #WeNurses

@PUNC21Paula @WeNurses @WeLDnurses What is meant by 'Safe Space' in this context? The nurse history taking process often takes place in what I consider public areas; Do we need to differentiate locations for social & behavioural construct conversations? #WeNurses
@knitknitqueen
30 September 2021 20:47
Interesting that this has come out just when you have asked the question on cultural competence. How does this impact speaking up? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/NatGuardianFTSU/status/1443597815104614400

This is a really important point .... I think we have to think beyond end of life care wishes and interpreters (although very important) when thinking about cultural competence .... it's so much more than this. #WeNurses https://twitter.com/CareHome_Nurse/status/1443663317101383685

@StaffNurseLee @WeNurses It's interesting - all interactions, discussions come with a level of judgement. Each of us carry our experiences, background & intellectual baggage with us; & that affects how we communicate & behave. #WeNurses
@CareHome_Nurse
30 September 2021 20:49
@WeNurses I think also the culture of men don't cry in Scotland is hard and they don't ask for help when having mental health issues. It's about how we support them to not feel less of a man for asking for help #WeNurses
@TheAutisticRN
30 September 2021 20:49
@WeNurses Similar, where when I have been looking after female patient's at times not being involved in personal care ore other aspects, but not directly speaking to specific genders or heads of family. #WeNurses

QUESTION 2 How do we develop cultural competence as nurses? How does cultural competence affect the care we give ? #WeNurses (sorry we cheated that's two questions!) https://t.co/jRAEdVQy4I
@KindStudentMHN
30 September 2021 20:50
@Winn_on_Health @WeNurses @WeLDnurses I meant in a space whereby the questions could be asked by the 'audience' anonymously without fear of being judged for asking the 'stupid question'. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
30 September 2021 20:52
@GordonHill1 @WeNurses totally agree .... but some of our "systems" are set up in a discriminatory way .... for example i can't recall ever seeing a pressure injury grading chart that pictures people from a BAME background, and many dressing products are in pink skin tones .... #WeNurses

@KindStudentMHN
30 September 2021 20:54
@WeNurses How much of the Nursing Degree programs relates specifically to diversity and cultural competency? (I am asking this as a first year student and I haven't delved too far into the course content...) #WeNurses
@CareHome_Nurse
30 September 2021 20:55
@WeNurses We need to start at Undergraduate level, but we also need to educate the current workforce. It's about person centred care asking #WMTY (what matters to you) We have to remember our unconscious bias can impact on how we care for people to meet their cultural needs #Wenurses
@TheAutisticRN
30 September 2021 20:55
@WeNurses To develop cultural competence, have training days about cultures, when people come into our care being confident to ask about what there cultural needs are. Having the right knowledge and skills can enable to access/refer for the right support. #WeNurses
@WeNurses
30 September 2021 20:55

@WeNurses By being self-aware, not making assumptions, being reflective and being genuinely interested in others experiences. Sensitive adoption of this can make people feel more comfortable in interacting with nurses #WeNurses
@WeNurses
30 September 2021 20:56
great question.... any nurse educators tweeting tonight that can help answer this? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/PUNC21Paula/status/1443665627391139844
@Winn_on_Health
30 September 2021 20:56
@GordonHill1 @WeNurses I'm sure many would agree with you but openness, respect & willingness are subjective manifestations that can be almost autonomic - managing actions and reactions 'in the moment' can be exceptionally hard, which is why Critical Thinking training & competence may assist #WeNurses
@WeNurses
30 September 2021 20:57
What an interesting concept - cultural humility .... #WeNurses https://twitter.com/Nyrs_Emma/status/1443665505588547592

30 September 2021 20:57
can anyone answer ?? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/PUNC21Paula/status/1443665627391139844
@KathEvans2
30 September 2021 20:57
Now that’s a great question @WeNurses & I think takes us back to the importance of the ‘art of nursing’ (critically important alongside the science) sometimes it’s incredibly helpful to share our cultural backgrounds, yet sensitivity to the situation is needed too? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1443665728499068934

@NRCUK
30 September 2021 20:58
@StaffNurseLee @WeNurses surely a quick delve into local population data would enable you to focus on the most likely cultural differences you may need to be aware of? Seems quite proactive but not to tricky to muster? Who's role/agenda would this be? #WeNurses

@CareHome_Nurse
30 September 2021 21:04
@WeLDnurses @WeNurses Was mainly Belief focused, but maybe in today's less religious society we need to look at this differently. EOL is a good starting point, but what about the start of our lives? Birth and childhood and those cultural experiences? #WeNurses

@NRCUK @StaffNurseLee @WeNurses The UK has 18 ethnic categories for statistical purposes but this masks a great deal of ethnic group variation. For instance, in London at least 250 languages are spoken. Each of these can indicate a cultural variation. #WeNurses

@CareHome_Nurse @WeLDnurses @WeNurses interesting, I think some religions maybe fading in UK, but some are very much growing and many cities have huge populations of devoutly religious people... this I'm sure means more of a focus on this for some cities than others ? #wenurses

30 September 2021 21:13
@CareHome_Nurse @WeNurses is it ok to say as a nurse "tell me more as i don't know much about your religion" taking a self education approach to get them talking and to see how care can be personalizes, with added bonus of learning for next time? #wenurses

@WeNurses Start talking, challenge your own knowledge gaps and discuss this with colleagues #WeNurses

@WeNurses IMO there's no simple answer, & certainly no single answer. I suggest all that can be done is to train practitioners to think about how they might approach people that may or may not exhibit different or divergent social backgrounds. #WeNurses

@swan_anthony It was fantastic to see .... I don't think they realised how amazing they were being ... they were playing the music to encourage people with dementia to walk out and enjoy the atmosphere and go to the pub .... brilliant on so many levels #WeNurses #BrunelcareNurses

@GaryHodge1968 @WeNurses agreed, I find myself being challenged at times and shying away from being able to ask. When its uncomfortable it is best to ask. #WeNurses

@knitknitqueen @Headucate3 what are the main issues with "unconscious bias training" #wenurses
@Winn_on_Health
30 September 2021 21:18
@NRCUK @CareHome_Nurse @WeNurses If it's important for the care of the patient, yes. Researchers sometimes refer to this as a Teacher-Learner approach. #WeNurses

@Headucate3 @WeNurses Absolutely agree. I feel fear myself. But I think it’s because I’ve not had a discussion around the topic so it’s not broken that barrier for me. Perhaps it’s a bit of ignorance, unconscious politeness and bias? I’m taking this conversation to my team! #WeNurses

QUESTION 4 What one thing would you say is important for nurses just coming into the profession to understand about cultural competence? #WeNurses https://t.co/RnQoVDudFV

Our final question for this evening ..... #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1443672009884512263
@Winn_on_Health
30 September 2021 21:20
@CareHome_Nurse @NRCUK @WeNurses An interesting observation. I can't remember ever speaking with a patient about my beliefs. But I do know that clinician beliefs influence their work. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse

@WeNurses You will make a mistake, have a conversation to get an understanding of each other. Unfortunately not everyone gets it, but at least if one person gets it... this is enough! #WeNurses
@KindStudentMHN

@knitknitqueen @WeNurses This is incredibly valuable advice #WeNurses
@knitknitqueen
30 September 2021 21:23
@WeNurses @Headucate3 For me it is just a tick box! It does not give scope for conversations, honest conversations #WeNurses
@Winn_on_Health
30 September 2021 21:23
@WeNurses That we're all as different from each other as practitioners as our patients are from each other, and from us. Revel is difference! #WeNurses

@Winn_on_Health @CareHome_Nurse @WeNurses I have an amazing Aunt who has never judged my now mostly grown up children and always says things like "i've no idea what you are talking about, explain it to me" knowing she's unlikely to understand the explanation to minecraft/anime/bigdata/VPN etc very empowering #wenurses

@AgencyNurse I think it should be an integral part of every module of a nursing degree. #WeNurses

@WeNurses Is empathy too obvious? "Myself, in their place." Or just the attempt at that, at least, could go a long way. #WeNurses

@WeNurses Open-mindedness: You have to be open-minded. You will experience culture shock. Never act like you know it all. Ask questions and respect your patients and co-workers for who they are. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse

Be aware, listen and really hear peoples perspectives, ask people about their stories and take a real interest ... above all respect is key #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1443672009884512263

@TheAutisticRN
30 September 2021 21:26
@GaryHodge1968 @CareHome_Nurse @WeNurses I would agree, particularly most men don't always cry or show similar emotions. Were often told not too as showing emotions is a sign off weakness or dishonour depending where your from. #WeNurses
@CareHome_Nurse
30 September 2021 21:26
@WeNurses Expect the unexpected! Leave all assumptions about culture and beliefs at the door, don't believe everything the news tells you! Take it all as a learning opportunity and it will shape your career! #WeNurses

@nurseAdvance @WeNurses Nah, be careful of this as there is a fine line with empathy in this instance and being fake #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
30 September 2021 21:28
@PUNC21Paula perhaps woven throughout - it's part of everything we do as nurses so the same should apply for students. You are very lucky to have people like @hannahlames1 at Plymouth who tonight has shared some fab stuff .. they are on it ! #WeNurses

@CareHome_Nurse @NRCUK @WeNurses I like this comment because it perfectly illustrates (hidden) cultural variation - two Christians from different denominations. Cultural differences can not always be observed, and if suspected, should never be assumed. #WeNurses
@NRCUK
30 September 2021 21:29
@Winn_on_Health @CareHome_Nurse @WeNurses it's as much about the culture they live in as the tech I think, so different to the one she grew up in - seeking to learn, not even understand, is a powerful thing, seemed relevant in tonight's chat :) #wenurses
