Tiivistelmä
This thesis is about Nurse's cultural competences of palliative care. The purpose of this literature review thesis is to carry out in-depth research on our topic “Nurses cultural competences of palliative care” and our objective is to suggest ways on how to improve good cultural competences among nurses in palliative care.
The literature review answered to research questions: what are the studies of nurse´s cultural competence of palliative care? What are the outcomes of nurse´s cultural competences of palliative care?
A scoping review method was selected for this literature review thesis. The following electronic databases were searched through systematically with time constraints: manual search, CINAHL complete, and PubMed. The searches were restricted to English and Finnish research and centered on peer-reviewed publications having an abstract.
This thesis is based on 11 articles gathered in the literature retrieval process from sources worldwide that have carried out in-depth studies based on cultural competences in palliative care. The data were analyzed by content analysis. Studies showed that nurses play an important role in the introduction and practices of cultural competences in palliative care when caring for terminally ill patients.
Furthermore, the practices of cultural competences in palliative care have not gained ground but different research has been carried out and more research is ongoing to see ways on how the practices of cultural competences can be well integrated into their health care system because of the increasing large population of immigrants increasing in Finland, Demark, Sweden, Switzerland and New Zealand. Study shows that, been able to express yourself in a language the nurse and patient understands is the first foundation in building a good cultural competence in palliative care.
