Abstract
Phenomena such as globalization and migration have favored the growing cultural diversity in societies and, therefore, nurses have patients with different needs related to their culture. This situation can become a significant barrier to effective care delivery, particularly due to nurses' lack of knowledge and skills on how to effectively treat patients from different cultures. When analyzing the concept of cultural competence from nursing, the findings suggest the existence of several identical components or constructions present in most models of cultural competence. However, there are still many ambiguities surrounding this concept. Objective: To identify the attributes of the concept of cultural competence from the nursing discipline. Method: The concept analysis was done through the method proposed by Walker and Avant, for which a review of the literature in databases was carried out. The inclusion criteria were defined and a database was created with the articles included for analysis. The information was integrated responding to the eight steps proposed in the method. Results: Within the concept of cultural competence, it was possible to identify that it is a multidimensional construct, integrated by sensitivity, skills and knowledge in front of a culture. Additionally, it provides the nursing professional with the ability to communicate with people from other cultures. Conclusion: Cultural competence is a dynamic process that requires the articulation of knowledge and skills.
