Reflecting on intercultural dialogue in nursing
Nurses must provide culturally competent care in increasingly multicultural health care settings. This article is a reflection on a research study about intercultural dialogue as a means to increasing knowledge and awareness of other cultures. Hermeneutic methodology provides us a way to explore intercultural dialogue as it requires a commitment to a process of emerging understanding and self-transformation through dialogue. Concepts of intercultural dialogue, such as respect, power, willingness to stay in the process, responsibility, vulnerability and the expanding of one's horizons and self-discovery are included in this reflection.
