    Abstract

    Although the need for cultural competence in healthcare is well established, the integration of cultural competence approaches in most healthcare settings is not yet a reality. A review of the literature reveals several factors in clinical settings that pose barriers for health providers. The purpose of this article is to explore the barriers to cultural competence faced by nurses and to examine the role of staff development in addressing these barriers.
