The component of cultural competence being demonstrated when a nurse motivates an immigrant is most likely Cultural Skill. Cultural Skill refers to the ability to collect relevant cultural data regarding the client's presenting problem, as well practicing in a culturally sensitive manner.
In this case, the nurse is using motivational skills to engage with the patient. When applied appropriately, these techniques can help to build rapport, understand the patient's perspective, and ultimately provide more effective care.
However, the nurse is also demonstrating other components, including:
1. Cultural Awareness: Recognizing the personal biases that may affect her ability to treat patients from diverse backgrounds.
2. Cultural Knowledge: Amassing information about different cultures, health-related needs and nuances.
3. Cultural Encounters: Reducing the power imbalances in patient-provider communication dynamics.
These four interconnected components (Cultural Awareness, Cultural Knowledge, Cultural Skill, and Cultural Encounter) work together to form the model of cultural competence.
