What did the teachers say about the relevance, the usefulness and the benefits of the project? Raised greater awareness of all the teachers to the importance of the consideration of culture within care Acquisition of PTT/IENE model easily integrated into the educational approach of our institute and in agreement with our professional values Implementation was seen to be across board and progressive

What did the students say about the relevance, the usefulness and the benefits of the project? Developed their questioning of care given Deepened their reflexive position Comprehensive approach Progress concerning the acceptance of another person’s culture Developed their knowledge of the four stages of PTT model

Assessment of the project Assessment of the project - 90% students speak of their awareness of cultural identity - 79% implement this new competence in « caring » “… because of this experience, I became aware of my own culture and able to stand back from it to welcome the patient’s own culture…”

How will the change be sustained? Mobilization and training of the entire teaching team Extension of the PTT model to the other teaching: (public health, clinical approaches, analyses of practices…) Opening the nursing institute for cultural events (exhibitions, conferences…)
