Factors Influencing Cultural Intelligence Among Nurses in Western Pacific Countries: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Training programs should integrate critical thinking, empathy, and cultural learning to enhance nurses' cultural intelligence and capacity to care for diverse populations. Addressing healthcare provider biases through comprehensive training programs is essential to increase cultural intelligence. Beyond education and training programs focused on understanding and responding to the behaviors of clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, policies that promote the assessment of client characteristics and support the recruitment of staff with similar cultural backgrounds will help improve the quality of programs and care. Organizational support and leadership are crucial for ensuring the success of policies promoting cultural intelligence.
