5527 Cultural Diversity & Values (3)

This course explores how each individual's life context and social, cultural, political, historical, and economic influences (that is, one's culture) shape or, "construct" that individual's values, beliefs and behaviors. Applying concepts and theory from anthropology, philosophy, sociology, and nursing, the course expands students' basic knowledge of cultural diversity, approaches to culture and cultural competency, values and ethics-related terminology, theories of moral development, culture and value assessment skills, and ethical decision-making models for clinical practice. The values inherent in the development of advanced practice nursing are explored, and students examine their own understanding of the moral nature of advanced practice nursing. Core concepts for the course include: cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural encounter, values clarification, ethical analysis, conflict of interest, and conflict resolution strategies. Offered: Every Fall, Every Summer
