[Developing cultural competence for better support]

Abstract

Culture, in its broadest sense, can have an impact on diabetes management. Taking into account cultural particularities in the care of patients seems essential to offering them care that is equitable and meaningful to them. Developing nurses' cultural competence through reflection, training and experience could be a lever enabling them to achieve this objective of quality and relevance of care.

Keywords: altérité; care; compétence culturelle; cultural competence; culture; diabetes; diabète; otherness; soins.
