Cultural Competence Among Greek Midwives and Its Influencing Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study

INTRODUCTION: Research on cultural competence (CC) in Greek midwifery settings is limited. This study aimed to assess the level of CC among Greek midwives and identify the factors influencing it. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the Greek version of the Clinical Culture Competency Questionnaire was administered to 175 midwives. RESULTS: The CC level was moderate. Midwives who had lived outside Greece, were unmarried, attended intercultural health seminars, and socialized with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds had higher CC levels. DISCUSSION: Additional cultural training and education within Greek midwifery environments are needed to enhance CC levels.
