Development of an inventory for health-care office staff to self-assess their patient-centered cultural sensitivity.
The researchers sought to determine the psychometric properties of the Tucker-Culturally Sensitive Health Care Office Staff Inventory-Self-Assessment Form (T-CSHCOSI-SAF). They found that this inventory has 2 factors with high internal consistency reliability. They concluded that the T-CSHCOSI-SAF is a useful inventory for health-care office staff to assess their own level of patient-centered cultural sensitivity and that it can be used in the development and implementation of trainings to promote patient-centered cultural sensitivity of health-care office staff.
