Providing culturally appropriate care is an essential nursing competency for new graduates. Multiple curricular approaches are being used to achieve this end. When measured by Campinha-Bacote's Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competency Among Healthcare Professionals-R, graduating students (n = 515) from six different BSN programs scored, on average, in the culturally aware range. These results suggest that no one curricular approach is proving to be more effective than another in achieving essential cultural competency.

Background: Black Americans (BAs), Hispanics/Latinos (H/Ls), and Africans (As) face a disproportionate burden of aging and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD), coupled with underrepresentation in research. Further, researchers also report a lack of compliance on sensitive social determinants of health data for AD/ADRD research. For instance, the PRAPARE tool reports a low completion rate in community and clinical settings.

Background: Given the context of globalization, epidemiological and health disparities create socio-cultural barriers to specialized and appropriate care for people living with dementia in non-Western countries, particularly in Spain, where Moroccan migrants maintain their position as the largest registered foreign community. We aimed to map cultural, clinical, and linguistic challenges and facilitators of dementia assessment and care for this population.
Methods: We investigated articles published in English, Spanish, and Arabic in different medical, allied health, social, and human sciences databases that addressed assessment and care for Moroccan migrants with dementia (MMWD) and their caregivers in Spain.

As applied to the clinical research enterprise, "cultural humility" is a continuous process of self-orientation toward caring for others based on self-reflection and assessment, appreciation of others' experiences, and expertise on the social and cultural context of their lives, with an openness to establishing strong relationships within the research team and with study subjects. Applying cultural humility training to a clinical research infrastructure provides open awareness of biases, privileges, and the limitations of one's own knowledge. These insights may enhance one's approaches to interactions with potential subjects during recruitment and with actual subjects during study conduct while complementing existing cultural competency training and, in turn, supporting diversity among team members and research subjects.
