INTRODUCTION Cultural competence training for health care professionals is an imperative challenge in today's culturally diverse societies to ensure all people receive equitable and effective health care, particularly those from culturally diverse backgrounds. INCLUSION CRITERIA This scoping review will consider literature with adult participants aged ≥ 18 years, health care staff, and health students who may have received or are receiving multicultural competencies training. Literature published since 1960 in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French will be considered for inclusion. Literature will be excluded if reporting multicultural competencies training programs for students outside the health domain or for non-professional high school programs. METHODS The search strategy, designed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will aim to find both published and unpublished literature. The following electronic databases will be searched: MEDLINE , CINAHL, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Web of Science, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (RCAAP), and Open Grey. Other sites to be searched are ClinicalTrials.gov, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), International Organization for Migration (IOM), and International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe (IMISCOE). The screening process will entail two steps carried out by two independent reviewers: firstly, screening by title and abstract; and second ly, by full text. Data will be charted to describe the body of literature according to the review research questions that were defined following the P (population) C (Concept) C (Context) mnemonic. Data will be presented graphically when possible, and accompanied by a narrative that describes the characteristics of the training programs.

Some studies have tried to identify which patients will have inappropriate medication deprescribed, but none have found any association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, number of prescribed medications or duration of medication. Our aim was to determine Portuguese elderly patients’ attitudes and beliefs regarding medication use and their willingness to have regular medications deprescribed.Material and methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in triangulation in primary care centres from mainland Portugal and its autonomous regions. We used a random sample of 386 polymedicated older adult patients who answered the questionnaire between October 2018 and February 2019. For the quantitative analysis, we used sociodemographic characteristics, clinical profile and medication. For the qualitative analysis, we studied an inc...

Nurses must be culturally competent to provide quality care. Objective: To validate the Scale of Attitude toward Immigration in Nursing (EAIE) in Portuguese and to know the attitudes toward the immigration of the first-year undergraduate students of a nursing school in Portugal. Methodology: Descriptive, exploratory, and analytical study, with the translation and transcultural adaptation of the EAIE to the Portuguese language, composed of 39 items. The participants were 143 students. Results: Scale with a good internal consistency, assessed with Cronbach’s α (0,94). With the univariate analysis of the scale and each separate item, significant attitudinal differences were identified between men and women in 6 items, and among age groups in 2 items. Conclusion: The attitudes of a portion of the students are not favorable to the full recognition of the rights of health and social resources of the immigrants. It is necessary to...

Las enfermeras deben ser culturalmente competentes para dispensar cuidados de calidad. Objetivo: Validar la Escala de Actitud hacia la Inmigración en Enfermería (EAIE) al portugués y conocer las actitudes ante la inmigración del alumnado del primer curso del grado de una escuela de Enfermería de Portugal. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, exploratorio y analítico, con traducción y adaptación transcultural de la EAIE al portugués, constituida por 39 ítems. Participaron 143 estudiantes. Resultados: Buena consistencia interna de la escala medida con el α de Cronbach (0,94). Con el análisis unifactorial de la escala, y de cada ítem separado se identificaron diferencias actitudinales significativas entre hombres y mujeres en 6 ítems, y entre grupos de edad en 2 ítems. Conclusión: Las actitudes de una parte del alumnado no son favorables al reconocimiento pleno de los derechos en el uso de los recursos sociosanitarios de los inmigrantes. Consideramos necesario profundizar en la formación en competencia cultural y en el Derecho Universal a la Salud.

Most are managed in primary care by their family physicians (FP). This study aimed to understand the perspectives of specialist and trainee FPs about their role in palliative care. Methods: we conducted a double focus-group study consisting of two separate online focus-groups, one with FP specialists (n = 9) and one with FP trainees (n = 10). Results: FPs already gather two fundamental skills for the provision of palliative care: the capacity to identify patients’ needs beyond physical symptoms and the recognition that the patient belongs to a familiar, psychosocial, and even spiritual environment. They perceive their role in palliative care to be four-fold: early identification of patients with palliative care needs, initial treatment, symptom management, and patient advocacy. Participants recognized the need for palliative...
