摘要
The increasing cultural and ethnic diversity within global migrant populations necessitates the provision of culturally competent care by healthcare personnel. This narrative literature review critically analyzes existing literature on the delivery of culturally competent care to migrants, highlighting key theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and practical strategies to enhance cultural competence in healthcare settings. The review identifies significant health disparities faced by migrants, including barriers to accessing healthcare, communication challenges, and systemic issues within healthcare institutions. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive training programs, supportive organizational policies, community engagement, and the innovative use of technology and telemedicine. Furthermore, it addresses the future directions and research gaps, calling for longitudinal studies, the development of robust metrics, and targeted strategies to overcome the digital divide and ensure data privacy. By addressing these areas, healthcare providers, educators, and policymakers can improve healthcare delivery, reduce health disparities, and ensure equitable access to care for migrant populations.
