This study examined the mediating effect of school nurses' self efficacy, which is one of the significant cognitive factors influencing cultural sensitivity, on the mutual relationships between multicultural attitude and cultural sensitivity in Korean elementary schools.
A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used. Participants were 157 school nurses in elementary schools located in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The survey instruments included Teacher Multicultural Attitude Survey, Teacher Efficacy Scale, and Multicultural Sensitivity Scale. Data were analyzed using three regression equations to test the mediation model.
The mean score of the school nurses' cultural sensitivity was relatively low. A positive correlation among multicultural attitude, self efficacy, and cultural sensitivity was noted. Self efficacy of school nurses showed a significant mediating effect on the relationships between multicultural attitude and cultural sensitivity.
Given the meaningful influence of positive multicultural attitude on cultural sensitivity and significant mediator effect of self efficacy as a school nurse between the two variables, the strategies to cultivate a positive multicultural attitude and enhance school nurses' self efficacy in their unique role should be considered in a training program. School nurses' health care services will benefit from the improvement of cultural sensitivity toward young children from multicultural families.
本研究探讨了学校护士自我效能感的中介作用，自我效能感是影响文化敏感性的重要认知因素之一，在韩国小学多元文化态度与文化敏感性的相互关系中起中介作用。
采用横断面描述性调查设计。研究对象为韩国京畿道小学的157名学校护士。调查工具包括教师多元文化态度调查、教师效能感量表和多元文化敏感度量表。采用三个回归方程对中介模型进行数据分析。
学校护士的文化敏感性平均得分相对较低。多元文化态度、自我效能感和文化敏感性之间呈正相关。学校护士的自我效能感在多元文化态度与文化敏感性之间的关系中起显著中介作用。
鉴于积极的多元文化态度对文化敏感性有重要影响，且自我效能感作为学校护士在这两个变量之间起显著中介作用，在培训项目中应考虑培养积极多元文化态度和提高学校护士在其独特角色中的自我效能感的策略。学校护士对来自多元文化家庭的幼儿的文化敏感性提高将有利于其医疗保健服务。
