Title
Perceptions of Multiculturalism in Nursing Programs in Montreal: A Comparison of University and CEGEP Training
Abstract
An examination of the perceptions of students and faculty regarding the concept of multiculturalism and its relevance in nursing education in two Montreal English-language nursing programs. The author concludes that students and faculties believe that multicultural concepts are relevant to nursing education in order for nurses to provide holistic health care in a non-discriminatory way to a culturally diverse society. However, the extent of multicultural content varied in the nursing programs with several relevant areas lacking in both institutions, including the exploration of personal biases. The author gathered data from 44 university students, 125 CEGEP students, 5 university faculty and 11 CEGEP faculty, in two Montreal nursing programs.
