Abstract

The purpose of the quality improvement project is to implement a clinical simulation training on cultural humility for newly hired staff so as to increase nursing confidence in how to respond to these events. Cultural humility training was completed via virtual reality with thirty newly hired nurses at the project agency. The training consisted of a real life event in the life of Sumaya, who plays herself in the virtual reality. In this act, she is the victim of cultural abuse by a patient that was witnessed by two other healthcare workers who did not stand up for her. Participants observed the culturally insensitive encounter and had a rich discussion on how to respond.
