Enhancing Culturally Appropriate Care: The Role of Nurse Leaders

Sarah Kostiuk, Terri Belcourt, Jade Anderson and Jade Delisle

Abstract

Although culturally appropriate care is vital to quality of care, many barriers exist to implementing culturally appropriate care in practice. Nurse leaders are in a position where they can act toward addressing some of the barriers and engage nursing staff in strategies to promote the implementation of culturally appropriate care practices on a unit. This article is an opinion piece wherein the authors illustrate leadership strategies that advocate for and nurture a practice where nursing staff are supported to apply their culturally appropriate skills in practice.
