Developing an Educational Session and Epic-Based Tools to Help Nurses Provide Culturally Sensitive Care to Their Muslim Patients

Islam is currently the fastest growing religion in the world. The chances of nurses getting Muslim patients are on a rise. Islam is not just a religion but a way of life that shapes/guides every aspect of human experience. With religion being such an important part in a Muslim's life, they need nurses to be able to provide them culturally sensitive care. Nurses can do this if they are equipped with the right knowledge and tools. Implementing educational resources on how to provide culturally sensitive care to Muslim patients for nurses to use will help them be able to provide care that revolves around cultural competence. Also, having Epic-based tools will allow nurses to easily identify if they have a Muslim patient and have some tips and prayer reminders to help them ensure they are providing culturally sensitive care.
