Cultural Competency

Two-Spirit (2S) Métis individuals often encounter significant barriers and discrimination in healthcare settings. This multisite randomized controlled feasibility trial evaluates a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) designed to assess and improve Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) residents' competencies in delivering culturally safe, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming care to 2S Métis patients. Up to 90 Ob/Gyn residents across three Canadian academic sites (University of Alberta, University of Manitoba, and University of Saskatchewan) will be randomized 1:1 to complete either a 2S Métis Academic Half Day paired with AI-assisted OSCE evaluation or standard institutional anti-racism training with AI-assisted OSCE evaluation. The primary focus is to evaluate study feasibility (recruitment, retention, and delivery fidelity) and resident performance on clinical communication, trauma-informed care, and cultural humility evaluated using a 2S Métis co-developed scoring rubric.

The type of this research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of creative drama workshops based on Papadopoulos' model on the cultural competence levels of nursing students. The population of the research consists of senior nursing students. The research sample will consist of at least 80 nursing students, 40 in the intervention group and 40 in the control group. The sample will be selected by randomization. 8 sessions of creative drama intervention will be applied to the students in the intervention group. The research aims to answer the following questions: Is there a difference between the intervention group and the control group in terms of cultural competence levels?
