Cultural Humility Scale
The Cultural Humility Scale (CHS) is a self-report instrument designed to assess healthcare providers' capacity for cultural humility—a stance of openness, self-reflection, and power-sharing with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Originating from theoretical work by Tervalon and Murray-García (1998) and operationalized by Hook and colleagues (2013), the CHS measures clinicians' willingness to acknowledge limits in cultural knowledge, receptiveness to patient perspectives, and commitment to lifelong learning about culture. The instrument is widely used in medical, nursing, counseling, and other health professions education to evaluate trainees' readiness for culturally humble practice.
