Nursing and communicating with all kinds of people
Topic: Cross-cultural communication Skills
General Purpose: To inform the audience
Specific Purpose: Inform the audience on why cross-cultural communication skills are important in nursing.
I.

Introduction: In the nursing profession there are many things that must be taken into consideration.
One of the most important tasks you will be faced with is communicating with and treating diverse
patients. From language barriers and religious beliefs to ensuring the safety of all involved. Many
decisions must be made. As a nurse, your goal is to treat a patient and ensure their health and safety
as well. This cannot be done if the nurse is lacking the communication skills it takes to accommodate
the patients while still doing their job. Strong cross-cultural communication skills are vital in todays
nursing profession.
A. Attention getter: Imagine that you live in the United States but only speak Spanish. You have
been injured in a car wreck. Emergency services arrive to transport you to the hospital. Youre
loaded into the ambulance all the while being asked questions you cannot understand. The
paramedic speaks only English. You are scared and in pain, panicking because you dont know if
your needs will be met. The Paramedic appears increasingly worried. It becomes apparent that
the language barrier may prevent you from getting the quickest and most efficient medical care.
In fact, it may even mean the difference between life and death.
B. Thesis: Strong cross-cultural communication skills are vital in todays Nursing profession.

Transition: One primary reason for the need of strong communication skills is due to the variety of cultures in
America today.
II.

Large number of cultures in todays society


A. Number of immigrants (L. Po, 2011)
1. Language barriers (U.S Censes Bureau, 2009)
a. Not enough translators for each language
b. Lack of common language is a concern in all aspects of care giving
B. Many immigrants have no health care (Mazie Davis, 2011)

Transition: Another concern with the large number of immigrants coming to and in the U.S is the variety of new
religions. There were over 50 religious affiliations in the United States, according to the U.S Census Bureau, in
2009.
III.

Broad religious diversity in todays society (U.S Census Bureau, 2009)


A. Some religions have specific guidelines for medical care
1. Buddhist monks can only be touched by other Buddhist monks
2. Americans Indians may want a Shaman, medicine man, or faith healer present
3. Certain religions see pain as a test of their faith

(Willner Hank, Narayan Mary, Doka Kenneth, Carlson Jennifer, 2011)


B. Some religions that have specific attire requirements
1. Muslim women must wear head covering
2. Some Jewish groups must wear yarmulkes
IV.

Conclusion
A. With the variety of cultures, the number of immigrants, and the myriad religions present in
todays America, the field of nursing requires strong cross-cultural communication skills. The
large number of people immigrating to the United States bring with them diverse language,
religion, and health care needs. It is these concerns and many others that nurses today must
recognize and adapt to.
B. With Americans current unprecedented diversity, it is imminent that the field of health care
keeps pace with the needs of all.

Visuals
I will be using a few animations to add color and life to my presentation. These include a simple picture of a
nurse, a picture of a group of different races, etc. I will be using a little chart in one of my slides to show that
cross-cultural communication skills are actually one of the star points in nursing. That is all I have come up
with.
Slide 1: Title page with a picture that correlates with my speech. This is important because the audience needs
to see my title and it gives me a place to begin.
Slide 2: Here is where I will introduce my attention getter. I will ask a basic question on the slide to segue into
my story. This is important so it gives me a chance to transition from my title and topic into the attention getter,
and then slides.
Slide 3: Main point 1 (I)This will have the main point along with a animation, to help tie to two together. The
picture is of people of all different colors holding hands.
This is important because it shows the audience what I am going to talk about without taking away from the
presentation.
Slide 4: Here I will introduce and discuss sub points of main point one. This includes point A,B as well as 1 and
2. There will be picture showing a variety of languages. Shows the audience what topic Im on without
distracting.
Slide 4: This will be my next main point (II). The picture is of people of all different colors holding hands. This
is important because it shows the audience what I am going to talk about without taking away from the
presentation. This helps with my transition to the next topic
Slide 5: will be the sub points A,1,2,3 and B,1,2. This gives me a chance to separate the information so not to
overload the audience.
Slide 6: will be my last main point (III) here there will be a picture that shows religion. This will again give me
a transition and show them the next topic.
Slide 7: This slide will be some type of Qs or statement. This slide will be my concluding slide and where I will
wrap up my presentation.
