A project to increase educator cultural competence in mentoring at-risk nursing students

The purpose of this pilot project was to enhance faculty cultural competency in mentoring diverse students. The project was based upon Dr. Campinha-Bacote's Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Services model. A pretest–posttest design measured educator cultural competency in mentoring using the Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competence Among Healthcare Professionals for Mentoring (IAPCC-M). Fisher's analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in educator cultural competency with a two-tailed P value of 0.0011.
