Background: Importance of providing culturally competent nursing care and cultural competence training for nurses has increased due to diversification of the cultural backgrounds of patients in South Korea. Currently there is little cultural competence training provided to nurses in South Korea.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a mobile app-based cultural competence training program for nurses working at a tertiary teaching hospital in South Korea.
Design: A one group pre- and posttest intervention design.
Settings: A tertiary teaching hospital in South Korea.
Participants: A total of 49 nurses participated in the study.
Methods: A mobile app-based cultural competence training program for nurses was developed using the five stages of the ADDIE instructional model. Cultural competence scores were compared between pre- and posttest using the paired t-test. The differences in cultural competence scores between pre- and posttests were also compared by participant characteristics using analysis of variance, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test.
Results: The mean total score of the nurses increased significantly after participating in the program, from 63.00 to 81.06 (p < 0.001). Comparisons of differences in cultural competence scores between pre- and posttests by participant characteristics revealed that the improvement in cultural competence was greater in those with no experience abroad for longer than 1 month compared to those who had experience abroad for longer than 1 month (p < 0.001) and in those who had never cared for a foreign patient compared to those who had cared for more than three foreign patients per week (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The mobile app-based cultural competence training program developed in this study was demonstrated to be effective in improving the cultural competence of nurses in South Korea. Our novel training program can be applied as on-the-job training to improve the cultural competence of nurses.

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.

This perspective abstract highlights the critical demand for culturally sensitive technology in dementia caregiving due to the heightened risk and unique challenges faced by individuals from diverse backgrounds. The escalating prevalence of dementia necessitates a caregiving paradigm shift, especially in the context of diverse cultural backgrounds. Research consistently underscores the existence of cultural disparities in dementia risk, diagnosis, and care outcomes, emphasizing the urgent need for culturally sensitive technology in dementia care.

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.
