Abstract
Introduction: The number of migrants continues to increase. Appropriate
education methods towards the acquisition of cultural competencies
of nurses are one of the ways of promoting ethical efficient healthcare
systems and services. The research is based on a purposeful literature
review where through the discourse of interculturalism available
evidence, describing the teaching/learning strategies regarding cross-
cultural care and the acquisition of cultural competencies among
nursing students, is evaluated. Methods: A systematic literature
review following PRISMA guidelines. Results: Four studies that met
the criteria has been found which explains the teaching/learning
strategies for acquisition of cultural competencies through four different
models: Papadopoulos, Tilki and Taylor model for developing cultural
competence, Campinha-Bacote‘s model, Leininger‘s Sunrise Model, and
3-dimensional puzzle model of culturally congruent care. Discussion:
Although cultural competencies in nursing have long been recognized
as essential part of clinical practice, future research should explore
additional teaching/learning methods and incorporate evidence based
practice and problem-based learning strategies into nursing curriculums
to develop cultural competence in nursing.
Key words: cross-cultural competencies, transcultural nursing, women’s
health, education
In 2014, it was estimated that in the European Union immigrated approxi-
mately 1.9 million people from non-member countries (Statistics Explained,
2017). However, it is noticeable that over time researchers from nursing and
healthcare devoted their attention mainly to the male migrants. Nowadays
more attention and research interest is focused on female migrants; although,
most of the research highlights the migration process as gender oriented pro-
