Using Transcultural Nursing Education to Increase Cultural Sensitivity and Cultural Assessment Documentation by Staff in an In-Home Chronic Disease Self-Management Program.

Background: Despite literature indicating that culturally sensitive care promotes a positive patient environment and may help improve outcomes, limited data exist on the documentation of patients' cultural concerns in electronic medical records (EMR).

Objective: The project's objective was to use an educational intervention to increase clinic staff's cultural sensitivity and cultural assessment documentation.

Methods: Researchers conducted this 3-month project at a Midwestern clinic's in-home, self-care chronic disease management program.
