Nurses have an obligation to safeguard, respect and activelypromote people’s health rights at all times and in all places3. Nurses need tobe vigilant in this area particularly with respect to vulnerable groups such aswomen, children, elderly, refugees and stigmatised groups.ICN strongly supports nurses developing linguistic competence byunderstanding and responding effectively to the linguistic needs brought bythe client to the health care encounter. Such means as being able tocommunicate directly in the client’s own language or through the use oftrained interpreters and qualified translators are required.For public protection, nurses need to communicate verbally and in writing in amanner sensitive to client needs and in language that can be clearlyunderstood with the assistance of trained interpreters and qualified translatorsif needed. Failure of the nurse to accurately comprehend client needs or if theclient is not able to understand advice and instruction given can result inerrors. /overCultural and linguistic competence, page 2/3ICN expects employers to provide all newly hired nurses with an appropriateorientation or a period of adaptation to ensure they have the means ofaddressing the cultural and linguistic needs of their client group.ICN firmly believes that nurses are responsible and accountable for theirnursing practice. When dealing with clients from a cultural or linguistic groupdifferent from their own, nurses should be aware that additional steps mayneed to be taken to ensure interventions are sensitive to the client’s culturaland linguistic needs.BackgroundThe way a client perceives illness, the specific disease and its associatedsymptoms are tied to the client’s underlying cultural values and beliefs. Themanner in which a person responds to these factors and how they relate tothe nurse will be influenced by these values and beliefs and can affect theunderstanding and acceptance of any care offered.Nurses provide care designed to meet the individual needs of the client. Thisclient centeredness has the goal of ensuring that the client’s physical,psychosocial and cultural needs and beliefs are taken into account whendeciding on interventions and that clients have the necessary information toparticipate in their own care.In the broad sense, diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. Fornurses it means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognisingindividual differences. These differences may span the dimensions of race,ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physicalabilities, spiritual or religious beliefs, political beliefs or other ideologies.Cultural and linguistic competence require cultural awareness; the deliberate,cognitive process in which health care providers become appreciative andsensitive to the values, beliefs, practices and problem solving strategies ofclients’ cultures.4A person’s culture forms an important part of their identity and communicationof cultural understanding and respect is an essential tool in forming atherapeutic relationship with the client.Linguistic competence is demonstrated by a nurse who has the capacity tocommunicate effectively and convey information in a manner that is easilyunderstood.5Nonverbal and verbal communication may differ in meaning according todifferent cultures. Awareness of this is vital in order to avoidmisunderstanding, lack of cooperation or offence. Cultural and linguistic competence, page 3/3Assistance may be provided to nurses and individuals through services such astranslation and interpretation. Translation is the process of transferring, betweenlanguages, ideas that are expressed in writing. Interpretation is the processused in transferring ideas expressed orally or (as with sign language) bygesture.Adopted in 2007Reviewed and revised in 2013Related ICN Positions: Continuing competence as aprofessional responsibility and publicright Scope of nursing practice Nursing regulation Nurses and human rightsThe International Council of Nurses is a federation of more than 130 national nursesassociations representing the millions of nurses worldwide.
