Abstract
The academic training of nursing professionals from an intercultural perspective allows to efficiently associate the customs of traditional medicine with the scientific knowledge on the ways or forms of care and maintenance of health, thus ensuring the physical, biological, mental and spiritual well-being of the person, family and community of different cultures. The objective of the study was to investigate the scientific evidence on the academic training of nursing professionals from an intercultural perspective. Scopus and Scielo databases were explored for a total of 39 scientific articles. Four categories are evidenced: (a) potentiation of intercultural training in nursing professionals, (b) strengthening of the social role of the nursing professional, (c) positive and negative aspects in the development of the social role of the nursing professional, (d) implementation of the intercultural training of the nursing professional. It is concluded that, the academic training of the nursing professional is a part of the learning process on intercultural care for the constant practice of relevant cultural competencies in culturally diverse health systems.
