Based on 2015 annual report of foreign spouse populations were above 507,266 people in Taiwan. Most of them (68%) came from Mainland China, 29% from south-east Asia. 92% of foreign spouses were female (2015). Therefore, a challenge arises for nursing students to provide care to clients with multiple cultural variations in Taiwan. The study objectives were to explore the related factors of cultural care competence and estimate the effects of a short-term reinforced cultural course. The study used a quasi-experimental design. All participants were investigated to measure that changed in cultural competence before and after the community practice period. Of 95 participants, 46 experimental group students engaged with 3 times workshops. The study was conducted from May to August in 2015 at Southern Taiwan. The study results showed a significantly improvement of transcultural nursing competence from comparing control group with experimental group by ANCOVA analysis (p < .05). The study approved that the cultural workshop along with the community health nursing practice curriculum might develop students' transcultural nursing competence. In the future, in order to providing cultural sensitively care, a sustained transcultural curriculum should be advocated at Nursing schools in Taiwan.
基于 2015 年的年度报告，在台湾的外籍配偶人数超过 507266 人。他们中的大多数（68%）来自中国大陆，29%来自东南亚。92%的外籍配偶为女性（2015 年）。因此，护理学生在台湾为具有多种文化差异的客户提供护理服务面临挑战。本研究的目的是探讨文化护理能力的相关因素，并评估短期强化文化课程的效果。该研究采用准实验设计。所有参与者都被调查，以衡量社区实践期间前后文化能力的变化。在 95 名参与者中，46 名实验组学生参加了 3 次研讨会。该研究于 2015 年 5 月至 8 月在台湾南部进行。通过协方差分析（ANCOVA）比较对照组和实验组，研究结果显示跨文化护理能力有显著提高（p<.05）。该研究证实，文化研讨会结合社区卫生护理实践课程可以提高学生的跨文化护理能力。未来，为了提供文化敏感性护理，应该在台湾的护理学校倡导持续的跨文化课程。
