Core Values and Culture Diversity in Nursing Profession: Enhancing Patient Quality of Care Outcomes in Privatization Era through Systematic Review

Abstract

Background: Nursing Cultural Competence has become a crucial element in guaranteeing equivalent and compelling patient care in private healthcare systems. Culturally sensitive care is required to serve growing diversity of patient populations and the focus on efficiency in efforts to privatize care. Nevertheless, resource constraints, policy gaps, and inconsistent training are barriers to nursing integration of cultural competence into practice.

Aim: This systematic review focuses on the impact of cultural competence and cultural diversity on patient care outcome in the privatized healthcare systems. It looks at ways to incorporate cultural competence in nursing practice and determine their effect on patient outcomes.

Method: This review followed PRISMA guidelines and analysed 10 primary studies in this space published between 2020 and 2024. A structured search was conducted of databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Google Scholar and ProQuest to identify the studies. Synthesis data was used to discover key themes regarding cultural competence, its challenges, and educational approach advantages in nursing care.

Results: The results demonstrated that culturally competency care contributes to increased patient satisfaction and reduces health disparities, while improving patient safety. Several of the cited frameworks for training and practice were Purnell’s model and frameworks such as Campinha-Bacote’s. In addition, challenges particular to privatized healthcare including systemic barriers and policy gaps were identified. Evidence from the seven high quality studies was particularly strong.

Conclusion: Privatized healthcare systems will flourish through better patient outcomes if nurses have cultural competence within the field. Barriers to implementation of integrated systems of care are identified and the importance of standardized training, policy integration, and sustained educational efforts on overcoming these barriers and promoting equitable care are highlighted.
