A staff development workshop on cultural diversity.
In a multicultural society, nurses work with clients from diverse cultural groups. The beliefs, values, and customs of these groups greatly influence the client's response to health care. Nurses need to understand the culture of the client in order to provide competent care. This article describes a process for developing a cultural diversity workshop that allows nurses to develop skills in dealing with clients from diverse backgrounds. Guidelines for identifying workshop content, educational group leaders, and suggestions for workshop evaluation are included.
