Description
DIVERSITY EYE-OPENER
An important first step toward cultural competence is an awareness of one’s own culturally-informed beliefs, values, attitudes, and potential biases. Recognizing the potential limitations in one’s cultural knowledge and being open to new ideas, contradictory information and advice illustrates an important concept referred to as “cultural humility.” When you understand how culture shapes your own beliefs, you become more open to understanding that someone of another culture may have a different perspective on a specific health issue and different strategies for achieving health. As a core competency of effective public health nursing, this Discussion assists in exploring your own cultural perceptions.

Diversity Eye-Opener Self-Assessment
1. Where did you grow up—big city, small town, country, area of the country, etc.?
2. What other cultural groups and practices did you encounter—ethnic, race, class,
sexual orientation, religious, political, etc.?
3. What messages were you given about people who were different from you—
messages from family, from peers, from the media, and others?
4. How have your background experiences influenced your perceptions of other
cultures that you encounter in your practice?
5. Think about a time when you experienced being or feeling “different” in a group
of people—for example, from an ethnic, gender, class, political, religious, or other
perspective. Identify and share what others did that helped or hindered you in
feeling more welcomed.
6. Summarize helpful and less helpful strategies one might use when interacting
with someone who is “different” in a given situation.
