需要创新的循证干预措施，使研究导师具备在研究导师关系中处理文化多样性的技能。一项试点研究评估了为研究导师创建和传播一种名为文化意识指导（CAM）的新型干预措施的文化定制努力的初步成果。干预开发产生了4个产品：6小时的CAM培训课程，辅导员指南，在线预培训模块，以及评估CAM培训有效性的指标。参与者是来自美国3所研究型大学的64名研究导师。定量培训前和培训后的评估调查数据收集。参与者发现CAM培训具有很高的价值和满意度，报告了个人文化意识和文化技能的提高，并增加了在指导中解决文化多样性的意愿和信心。研究结果表明，CAM培训有希望建立研究导师的能力和信心，直接参与研究指导关系中的种族/民族主题。
Innovative evidence-based interventions are needed to equip research mentors with skills to address cultural diversity within research mentoring relationships. A pilot study assessed initial outcomes of a culturally tailored effort to create and disseminate a novel intervention titled Culturally Aware Mentoring (CAM) for research mentors. Intervention development resulted in 4 products: a 6 hour CAM training curriculum, a facilitator guide, an online pretraining module, and metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of CAM training. Participants were 64 research mentors from 3 US research-intensive universities. Quantitative pretraining and posttraining evaluation survey data were collected. Participants found high value and satisfaction with the CAM training, reported gains in personal cultural awareness and cultural skills, and increased intentions and confidence to address cultural diversity in their mentoring. Study findings indicate that the CAM training holds promise to build research mentors’ capacity and confidence to engage directly with racial/ethnic topics in research mentoring relationships.
