The study aimed to explore the perceived learning and teaching needs of students and practitioners of health-care professions in relation to preparation for working in another European country and/or in a multicultural environment. The participating countries were: Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Romania and the UK.
Questionnaires, consisting of open questions, were completed by a total of 118 participants. Data analysis adopted both a priori and inductive approaches. The predetermined constructs of cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural sensitivity and cultural competence were used to structure suggestions for theoretical input and practical activities and experiences. Inductive analysis revealed other emergent themes that underpin all four of these constructs.
Practical experiences form a fundamental part of preparation for labour mobility and/or for practice within a multicultural environment. However, health-care practitioners need to be adequately prepared for such experiences and value the opportunity to learn about culture, to explore values and beliefs, and to practise intercultural skills within the safe environment of an educational establishment, facilitated by skilled teachers.
本研究旨在探讨医疗保健专业学生和从业者在准备到另一个欧洲国家/在多元文化环境中工作方面的感知学习和教学需求。参与的国家为：比利时、保加利亚、德国、罗马尼亚和英国。
共有 118 名参与者完成了包含开放式问题的问卷。数据分析采用了先验和归纳方法。文化意识、文化知识、文化敏感性和文化能力等预定结构被用来构建理论投入和实践活动及经验的建议。归纳分析揭示了支撑这四个结构的其他新兴主题。
实践经验是劳动力流动准备和/或多元文化环境下实践的基础。然而，医疗保健从业者需要为此类经验做好充分准备，并重视在教育机构中学习文化、探索价值观和信仰以及练习跨文化技能的机会，由熟练的教师提供帮助。
