Abstract
Culturally competent care is guided by the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion. Culturally responsive mental health nursing is essential to meet the diverse needs of patients in an increasingly globalised society. This article explores how nurse educators can provide culturally informed care for preregistration mental health nursing students. The authors examine existing strategies for delivering culturally informed nurse education and the challenges involved, then discuss methods for integrating cultural care into mental health practice. With the growing number of international students pursuing mental health nursing in the UK, the importance of assisting them to adapt to their new learning environment is also emphasised.
