title: Cultural competence: a critical factor in nursing research.
abstract: By the year 2000, one in every third American will represent an ethnic minority. This statistic presents various challenges for healthcare providers. While cultural competence is examined in educational and practical nursing areas, nursing research is only beginning to view cultural competence as essential. This article explores various cultural issues embedded in the research process and provides readers with a conceptual model to enhance cultural competence in nursing research.
