| Sumario: | Between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic population grew by 44% in rural areas. This community faces barriers to health care. Future nurse practitioners must be educated to provide culturally competent care for patients and families in a primary care setting. A simulation-based learning experience was used evaluate learning modules regarding rural health and Spanish language and culture. A "1 group: pretest–posttest" preexperimental design using the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) was used to obtain quantitative and qualitative data from nurse practitioner students participating in a simulation-based learning experience to measure students' self-perceptions of cross-cultural competence. All TSET measures achieved Cronbach's alpha values of 0.98 or higher. • Using a well-designed, patient-facing simulation-based learning experience (SBLE) is effective in improving cultural congruence in rural nurse practitioner (NP) students. • Weaving cultural competence and congruence will strengthen NP students' self-efficacy in caring for patients with diverse backgrounds. • Using a patient-forward approach to SBLE allows the simulated patient more comfort in the activity. • Qualitative themes indicate that a SBLE is an effective and enjoyable way of learning cultural congruence. |
