An interventional study of Culturally Responsive Nursing Care Intervention in Culturally Responsive Care, Primary Health Care Providers and Patient-centered Care, sponsored by Cairo University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-16.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
Primary healthcare nurses frequently care for patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Cultural beliefs and expectations about illness, treatment, and communication can influence how patients understand health information and participate in care decisions. When these cultural perspectives are not adequately recognized during clinical encounters, misunderstandings may occur, potentially affecting patient engagement, trust in healthcare providers, and adherence to care plans.
This study aims to develop and pilot test a culturally responsive nursing care intervention designed for use in primary healthcare settings. The intervention focuses on improving communication between nurses and patients by supporting nurses in exploring patients' cultural perspectives, health priorities, and personal experiences of illness during routine consultations. The goal is to promote shared understanding and collaborative care planning.
The intervention will be developed using a participatory co-design process involving patients, family caregivers, and primary healthcare nurses. Participants will share their experiences and contribute ideas for improving culturally responsive care. These insights will be used to create a structured nursing care approach that can be integrated into routine primary healthcare consultations.
Following development, the intervention will be pilot tested with a small group of nurses and patients in primary healthcare centres. The pilot phase will assess whether the intervention is feasible to implement in routine practice and acceptable to both patients and nurses. Participants will provide feedback on their experiences with the intervention through surveys and interviews.
The findings from this study will inform the development of culturally responsive nursing practices that support improved communication, patient engagement, and personalised care in primary healthcare settings.

Participants in this arm will receive a culturally responsive nursing care intervention delivered by trained primary healthcare nurses during routine consultations. The intervention focuses on structured nurse-patient conversations that explore patients' cultural perspectives, illness experiences, personal health priorities, and social contexts. Nurses will use a guided conversation framework to support shared understanding and collaborative care planning. The intervention will be implemented over a series of routine primary healthcare consultations and aims to improve communication, patient engagement, and culturally responsive care delivery.
Behavioral: Culturally Responsive Nursing Care Intervention
Participants in this arm will receive usual nursing care provided in routine primary healthcare consultations. Usual care may include health assessment, patient education, chronic disease monitoring, and care coordination according to existing clinical practices within the healthcare centre. No structured culturally responsive communication framework will be used.
The culturally responsive nursing care intervention is a structured approach designed to support nurses in integrating patients' cultural perspectives and personal health priorities into routine care conversations. Nurses participating in the intervention will receive training on culturally responsive communication and patient-centred care principles. During consultations, nurses will use guided conversational prompts to explore patients' illness experiences, cultural beliefs influencing health behaviours, and individual care priorities. This information will be used to collaboratively develop personalised care plans aligned with both clinical recommendations and patients' cultural and social contexts.
Acceptability of the Culturally Responsive Nursing Care Intervention (Acceptability of Intervention Measure - AIM Score)
Acceptability of the intervention will be measured using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), a validated four-item implementation outcome scale. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). Total scores range from 4 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater perceived acceptability of the intervention among participants.
Time frame: Immediately after completion of the intervention period (8 weeks).
Feasibility of the Culturally Responsive Nursing Care Intervention (Feasibility of Intervention Measure - FIM Score)
Feasibility will be assessed using the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM), a validated four-item implementation outcome scale. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). Total scores range from 4 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater perceived feasibility of implementing the intervention in routine primary healthcare practice.
Time frame: Immediately after completion of the intervention period (8 weeks).
