What is âCultural Competence?â. The Department of Health and Human Services defines cultural competence as âa set of behaviors, attitudes, and skills that enable nurses to work effectively in cross-cultural situations.â Of course, this definition, although accurate, does not delve into all the complexities of the term.
Cultural awareness is a major element of cultural competence as defined by the National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC).It is the first and foundational element because without it, it is virtually impossible to acquire the attitudes, skills, and knowledge that are essential to cultural competence. Influence the next generation of public health professionals to be culturally aware as a prerequisite toward achieving cultural and linguistic competence. 2  Cultural awareness includes being conscious of organizational culture and its implications for policy, practice, teaching, research, and community engagement.
