摘要
背景:近年来,从卫生服务机构寻求围产期护理的外国妇女人数有所增加。这些妇女来自不同的文化和社会背景,突出了适当培训保健专业人员以有效满足其需求的重要性。文化能力是指医疗服务提供者必须具备的一整套技能、知识和意识,以便为来自不同文化背景的患者提供医疗服务。目的:本研究旨在探讨在分娩期间协助妇女的保健专业人员的文化能力的决定因素。方法:采用MEDLINE/PubMed、Web of Science、CINAHL、Scopus、ProQuest进行系统文献综述。如果定量研究调查了助产士或协助孕妇的工作人员的至少一项心理社会特征,则纳入其中。结果:从4193篇文章中,选择了8篇文章,使用有效的量表来测量文化能力水平。这些研究将数据与所选人口的社会人口学特征联系起来。选择至少在两项研究中反复出现的与文化能力显著相关的变量:年龄、性别、经验年限、角色和以前的文化能力培训。这些决定因素被分类为(a)个体变量和(b)与工作相关的变量。讨论:年龄多样性提高了医疗团队的文化能力(CC),加强了对不同女性的护理。我们的研究证实,先前的文化培训和不同文化的经验可以预测CC。卫生服务应该促进CC,但在高收入国家的理解仍然有限。结论:通过战略性地促进年龄多样性,促进文化培训,鼓励与不同人群的经验,医疗机构可以显著提高其员工的文化能力。
Predictors of cultural competence among healthcare professional in maternity department: A systematic review
Background
In recent years, the number of foreign women seeking perinatal care from health services has increased. These women come from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, highlighting the importance of properly training healthcare professionals to respond effectively to their needs. Cultural Competence refers to the set of skills, knowledge, and awareness that providers must possess to deliver care to patients from different cultures.
Aim
This study aims to investigate the determinants of Cultural Competence in healthcare professionals who assist women during childbirth.
Method
A systematic literature review was conducted using MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, and ProQuest. Quantitative studies were included if they investigated at least one psychosocial characteristic in midwives or staff assisting pregnant women.
Findings
Out of 4,193 articles, 8 were selected that measured the level of Cultural Competence using validated scales. These studies related the data to the sociodemographic characteristics of the chosen population. Variables significantly associated with Cultural Competence that recurred in at least two studies were selected: age, gender, years of experience, role, and previous Cultural Competence training. These determinants were categorized as (a) individual variables and (b) Jobs-related variables.
Discussion
Age diversity boosts Cultural Competence (CC) in healthcare teams, enhancing care for diverse women. Our study confirms prior cultural training and experience with different cultures predict CC. Health services should promote CC, but understanding in high-income countries remains limited.
Conclusions
By strategically promoting age diversity, facilitating cultural training, and encouraging experiences with diverse populations, healthcare institutions can significantly improve the Cultural Competence of their staff.
