As a result of the fact that Australia is a multicultural society with many people who come from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB), the objective of the present study was to discuss the extent to which transcultural nursing education is incorporated into undergraduate nursing curricula. A survey was undertaken to determine the availability of nursing modules for undergraduate nursing students through Australian university websites on "transcultural nursing" or related modules. Although the inclusion of these modules into nursing education provide an opportunity for nurses to perceive and respond to different patient behaviors in multicultural societies, it is not sufficient to understand the complexity of the health care needs of a multicultural society. The survey findings suggest that many universities have not included transcultural nursing modules in their nursing curricula. To address this problem, more transcultural nursing modules need to be introduced into nursing curricula and nursing academics need to refine their attitudes about the importance of cultural aspects of patient care within nursing education.
由于澳大利亚是一个多元文化社会，有许多来自非英语背景（NESB）的人，本研究的目的是探讨本科护理课程中纳入跨文化护理教育的程度。通过澳大利亚大学网站对本科护理学生的“跨文化护理”或相关模块的护理课程可用性进行了调查。虽然将这些模块纳入护理教育为护士提供了一个机会，使其能够在多元文化社会中感知并应对不同的患者行为，但这对于理解多元文化社会中医疗保健需求的复杂性来说是不够的。调查结果表明，许多大学在其护理课程中并未纳入跨文化护理模块。为了解决这个问题，需要在护理课程中引入更多的跨文化护理模块，并且护理学者需要在护理教育中完善他们对患者护理文化方面重要性的态度。
