          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo principal: resignificar, a partir de la experiencia de atención a pacientes inmigrantes desarrollada por un grupo de profesionales sanitarios, los niveles de Competencia Cultural del Modelo de Terry Cross a fin de reorientar sus descripciones hacia el ámbito sanitario. Asimismo, se propuso determinar el nivel en que se encuentran dichos profesionales. Metodología: Diseño cualitativo con estudio de caso instrumental. Recogida de datos mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. Resultados principales: Se establecieron tres niveles de Competencia Cultural que permitieron conforman el Modelo Confrontación, Resistencia y Apertura Cultural (CRAC) específico para profesionales sanitarios. Dichos niveles concuerdan con Incapacidad, Ceguera y Pre-competencia cultural del Modelo de Cross. El nivel alcanzado fue Pre-competencia cultural. Conclusión principal: El nivel en que se encuentran los profesionales sanitarios entrevistados, según el Modelo CRAC, evidencia los desafíos pendientes para proporcionar cuidados en perspectiva cultural. La solución podría comenzar abordando los vacíos formativos en el área.

          Abstract Objective: To re-signify the levels of cultural competence of the Terry Cross model based on the experience received by healthcare professionals over the years of service on the care of immigrant patients, with the objective of redirecting the descriptions concerning the health field. Besides, a determination of the level at which these professionals are placed was proposed. Methods: Qualitative design with an instrumental case study. Data collection through semi-structured interviews. Results: Three levels of Cultural Competence were stablished, and constitute the Confrontation, Resistance, and Cultural Openness Model (CRAC) specific for health professionals. These levels coincide with the Incapacity, Blindness, and Cultural Pre-competence of the Cross Model. The level achieved was Pre-cultural competence. Conclusions: The level of the interviewed health professionals, according to the CRAC Model, shows the unresolved challenges to provide care from a cultural perspective. The solution could start by addressing training gaps in the area.

          El proceso de convergencia europea de enseñanza superior incide en la necesidad de contemplar las competencias genéricas o transversales en la formación pregraduada. Dichas competencias son especialmente adecuadas para los futuros profesionales en ciencias de la salud.El presente artículo pretende aportar algunos elementos sobre la bondad de su implementación así como sugerir diversas actividades para fomentarlas en el marco de los procesos docentes de las titulaciones. Las propuestas están contempladas a partir de experiencias positivas desarrolladas en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud y de la Vida de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra de Barcelona y en otros centros españoles.

            Developing culturally competent researchers

            Whilst we live in multicultural societies most health researchers tend to take the cultural perspective of the majority ethnic group at the expense of the perspective of minority ethnic groups.

              Culture and language differences as a barrier to provision of quality care by the health workforce in Saudi Arabia

              Objectives: To identify, synthesize, and summarize issues and challenges related to the culture and language differences of the health workforce in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A comprehensive systematic review was conducted in May 2014 to locate published articles. Two independent researchers in consultation with several experts used 4 electronic databases (ISI Web of Knowledge, Science Direct, PubMed, and Cochrane) to scrutinize articles published from January 2000 - March 2014. Each of the studies was given a quality assessment rating of weak, moderate, or strong, and was evaluated for methodological soundness using Russell and Gregory’s criteria. Results: The online literature search identified 12 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Lack of knowledge of non-Muslim nurses or culture in Saudi Arabia, difficulties in achieving cultural competence, and culture shock were documented as cultural difference factors. Issues in language difference include the clarity of language use by health care providers in giving information and providing adequate explanation regarding their activities. Conclusion: The available information provided by this review study shows that there is a communication barrier between patients and health care workers such as healthcare workers demonstrate low cultural competency. Despite the fact that the government provides programs for expatriate healthcare workers, there is a need to further improve educational and orientation programs regarding the culture and language in Saudi Arabia.
