Sweden has a population of a little more than 9.4 million. The rapid growth of immigration in Sweden has resulted in an increased number of minority ethnic patients and minority ethnic nurses in the Swedish healthcare system. This also applies to paediatric care.
The purpose of this study was to explore how parents with ethnic Swedish backgrounds experience minority ethnic nurses' cultural competence and the care the nurses provide in a Swedish paediatric care context.
This exploratory qualitative study is of 14 parents with an ethnic Swedish background whose child was in a ward at a children's hospital in Stockholm County Council. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews to identify parents' perceptions and experiences of minority ethnic nurses' cultural competence. The interviews were analysed by qualitative content analysis.
The analyses of the interviews led to four main categories: influence of nurses' ethnicity; significance of cross-cultural communication; cross-cultural skills; and the importance of nursing education.
Nurses' ethnicity did not have much impact on parents' satisfaction with their child's care. The parents attached importance to nurses' language skills and to their adaptation and awareness of Swedish culture. They also attached weight to nurses' professional knowledge and personal attributes. The role of nursing education to increase nurses' cultural awareness was highlighted too.
瑞典人口略多于940万。瑞典移民的快速增长导致瑞典医疗保健系统中少数族裔患者和少数族裔护士的数量增加。这也适用于儿科护理。
本研究的目的是探讨具有瑞典族裔背景的父母如何看待少数族裔护士的文化能力以及这些护士在瑞典儿科护理环境中提供的护理服务。
这项探索性定性研究涉及14名具有瑞典族裔背景的父母，他们的孩子在斯德哥尔摩郡议会一家儿童医院的病房接受治疗。通过半结构化访谈收集数据，以确定父母对少数族裔护士文化能力的看法和体验。访谈采用定性内容分析法进行分析。
访谈分析得出四个主要类别：护士种族的影响；跨文化交流的重要性；跨文化技能；以及护理教育的重要性。
护士的种族对父母对孩子护理的满意度影响不大。父母重视护士的语言技能以及他们对瑞典文化的适应和了解。他们也重视护士的专业知识和个人特质。护理教育在提高护士文化意识方面的作用也得到了强调。
