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 competence is a key factor in enabling educators to be effective with students from cultures other than their own. Cultural competence is having an awareness of oneâs own cultural identity and views about difference, and the ability to learn and build on the varying cultural and community norms of students and their families.
