Cultural encounters are the continuous process of interacting with patients from culturally diverse backgrounds to
validate, refine, or modify existing values, beliefs, and practices about a cultural group and to develop cultural
desire, cultural awareness, cultural skill, and cultural knowledge. Cultural 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.
