*Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competence Among Healthcare Professionals in Mentoring (IAPCC-M^©)

"The important thing is this:

To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are

for what we could become."

Charles Dubois

ABOUT THE IAPCC-M^©

Application:

The IAPCC-M^© is designed to measure the level of cultural competence among healthcare professionals as it relates to the mentoring process.

Description:

The IAPCC-M^© is a self-assessment tool consisting of 9 items that measure the five cultural constructs of cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill and cultural encounters as it relates to the mentoring process. Scores range from 9 - 36 and indicate whether a faculty mentor is operating at a level of cultural proficiency, cultural competence, cultural awareness or cultural incompetence in their mentoring relationships. Higher scores depict a higher level of cultural competence in mentoring. The IAPCC-M^© uses a 4-point likert scale reflecting the response categories of strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree.

Development of the Instrument:

The IAPCC-M^© was developed in 2008 by Dr. Campinha-Bacote and was adapted from the IAPCC-R (link) (Campinha-Bacote, 2007). It is based on Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence, The Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Services (1998).

Permission To Use IAPCC-M^©

The IAPCC-M^© is copyrighted and formal permission and a fee is required before the tool can be used. To obtain permission to use the IAPCC- M^©, please mail (no fax/email) your request to Dr. Josepha Campinha-Bacote at 11108 Huntwicke Place, Cincinnati; Ohio 45241. In your request, please include the title of your project, purpose, target population, specific time frame of use, method of administration, study design (i.e. one-time testing or pre/post test design) and a money order (US Dollars only) or check (US Dollars and drawn from a US Bank) for fees associated with your method of administration (see Cost of Using IAPCC-M^©). Dr. Campinha-Bacote will return a letter granting permission to use the tool, articulate specific terms regarding use of the tool and include the number of tools if being used in an onsite pencil/paper format or internal/external mailings. Only one copy of the tool will be provided if the request is for online/electronic administration. You can utilize this copy for conversion into an electronic format for the designated time granted.

There is a fee of $8.00 per tool when administered onsite in a pencil/paper format for research studies, grants, projects or in any onsite pencil/paper distribution to a group of subjects/participants. In this onsite administration format the IAPCC-M^© is to be hand-distributed to each subject/participant and then personally collected immediately following the subjects'/participants' completion of the IAPCC-M^©. For example, if you are assessing 20 subjects/participants in an onsite administration the cost would be $160 plus shipping and handling. Please note that the fee is for the number of tools distributed to complete the study; not necessarily the number of subjects/participants in the study. Therefore, if you are conducting a pre/post test design with 20 subjects and testing the subjects/participants before and after an intervention, such as an educational program, you will need to double the amount of tools as the number of participants and the cost would be $320 plus shipping and handling. There is a fee of $20 fee per subject access when administered offsite in such formats as an online secure format for a training program, in-service educational program, academic course or continuing education offering, an external or internal postal mailing distribution or any form of administration that is not hand-distributed to each subject/participant and then personally collected immediately following the subjects'/participants' completion of the IAPCC-M^©. Fees associated with this tool are for a one-time use per aggregate distribution in one study and not for unlimited use. Permission is required for further use of the IAPCC-M^© in any additional projects related or unrelated to its initial use. Please use an order form when purchasing the IAPCC-M^© (order form).
