awareness is deliberate self-examination and in-depth exploration of one’s
biases, stereotypes, prejudices, assumptions, and ―-isms‖ that one holds
about individuals and groups who are different from them. Cultural
knowledge is the process of seeking and obtaining a sound educational base
about culturally and ethnically diverse groups. Cultural skill is the ability to
collect culturally relevant data regarding the patient’s presenting problem, as
well as accurately performing a culturally based physical assessment in a
culturally sensitive manner. Cultural desire is the motivation of the
healthcare professional to want to engage in the process of becoming
culturally competent, not have to.
