Book excerpt: "This study examined the cultural competence levels of nursing faculty teaching in associate degree nursing programs in Ohio and determined the extent to which transcultural concepts are included in the associate degree nursing curricula. Campinha-Bacote's (2003) Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Heathcare Services Model provided the organizing framework for the study. A revised version of Sealey's (2003) Cultural Diversity Questionnaire for Nurse Educators was used for the study. Out of an accessible population of 503 nurse educators teaching in associate degree nursing programs in four types of educational institutions in Ohio, 137 responded to the questionnaire. The forty-one item Likert type questionnaire along with eleven questions regarding demographic and professional characteristics was administered via the Internet over a three week period. The findings from this study indicated that associate degree nurse educators in Ohio "agree" that they possess cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and culture desire and are undecided regarding their level of engagement in cultural encounters. The findings also indicated that the participants "agree" that their teaching behaviors reflect cultural competence. The study results provide direction for professional development programs for nurse educators in the area of cultural diversity and support for hiring and retaining a culturally diverse nursing faculty."--Abstract.
