Abstract
In a diversity intervention context, the practitioner may have biases and stereotypes related to their own cultural background that will influence their approach. Developing cultural self-awareness could help reduce the manifestation of these biases and stereotypes. However, it is likely to be one of the least researched aspects of intercultural competence. This scoping study was conducted to provide an overview of how cultural self-awareness is addressed across disciplines related to interventions in diverse contexts. The methodology used followed that of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The different steps of the scoping review are the following: keyword selection and translation in the different selected databases; a first sorting of the selected studies according to the defined criteria, based only on the title and the abstract; a second sorting by reading the entire study; data extraction and finally, analysis of the results. In total, 25 studies were included. The results showed that it is indeed possible to develop cultural self-awareness through workshops that promote interaction among participants, whether they are students or professionals already in the workforce. However, this focus of the research is relatively new and underexplored in the literature.
