Abstract

Introduction: In the context of health care, cultural and linguistic barriers happen due to the lack of cultural knowledge, of health professionals, towards people's beliefs and interactions in the social, spiritual, cultural and community dimensions. Objective: Understand which strategies are adopted by nurses to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers, with culturally diverse people. Method: Scoping Review, based on the principles advocated by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The databases for research were Proquest and PubMed, in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. A period of 5 years was defined, for the research of key concepts and controlled vocabulary. Results: Two studies were included in this review. Both selected articles focus on nurses' interventions during care delivery in different countries. Conclusion: Nurses' intervention strategies to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers differ in the two studies, with identical recommendations for improving health care.
