- Abstract
- In most European metropolitan areas, health services are required to provide culturally competent health care to ethnic minority patients (Ingleby 2011). Indeed, culturally competent health care have been widely recommended as a strategy to reduce health inequities for ethnic minorities (Kirmayer 2012). In this study, we aimed at investigating the role of inter-professionals ties on the diffusion of cultural competence within health care organisations. More precisely, we tested the following hypothesis: Staff is more likely to be culturally competent if their leaders are competent themselves. To our knowledge, no study aims to test the role of the assigned and emergent leaders in the context of culturally competent health care. Yet because CC requires value commitment and complex expertise. We hypothesized that the leadership characteristics will explain the relationship between the competences of the staff and the competences of the leaders. We answered this question through a social network analysis.
