Objective: to describe the construction of a prototype mobile application for self-assessment of the cultural competence of nursing professionals and students in providing care to people with disabilities. Methods: a methodological study of the prototype application type, based on the Instrument for Self-Assessment of Transcultural Competence for the Care of People with Disabilities, which has five levels of responsiveness and 23 items grouped into the five types of disabilities, in compliance with the Transcultural Nursing Theory. The layout content of the technology was created according to the five methodologies of the "One-Minute Preceptor" application. Results: the prototype has 42 screens, consisting of initial screens with information about the Self-Assessment Tool and the registration interface with login and password. The following screens are made up of the cultural self-assessment of each disability. Conclusion: the construction of the prototype, based on the Instrument for Self-Assessment of Transcultural Competence for Caring for People with Disabilities, directs nursing professionals/academics towards self-assessment and the acquisition of cultural competence for nursing care. Contributions to practice: the prototype has the quality of its content ascertained through validation with specialists, which makes it possible to learn and improve culturally competent nursing care for people with disabilities.
