A Self-Reflection on Personal Strengths and Weaknesses with Cultural Competence

The cultural self-reflection tool has given me insight into my areas of strength as far as cultural competency is concerned. My areas of strength are cultural self-awareness and knowledge of cultural worldview. My experiences in childhood, adulthood, and nursing have enhanced my understanding of different cultures and the common practices and beliefs of these cultures. This has helped me better appreciate individuals from these cultures and have a better insight into their worldview. My weakness area is in cross-cultural communication. While I recognize different cultures, communicating with individuals from different cultures sometimes poses a challenge to me. I am, however, committed to improving my communication skills to enable me to be a better cross-cultural communicator.
