Which of the following is defined as developing attitudes, skills, and levels of awareness that enable the development of culturally appropriate, respectful, and relevant interventions?

A) Empathy
B) Sympathy
C) Cultural competence
D) Professionalism
E) Complementary interventions

Cultural competence is the ability to understand, appreciate, and work effectively with individuals from different cultures. It involves developing attitudes, skills, and levels of awareness that enable the development of culturally appropriate, respectful, and relevant interventions. Empathy and sympathy are related to understanding and feeling for others, but cultural competence involves a deeper understanding of different cultures and how they impact individual experiences. Professionalism involves adherence to professional standards and ethics, but does not specifically address cultural competence. Complementary interventions refer to using alternative or holistic approaches in combination with traditional medical treatments.
