Measurements of nursing students' cultural awareness are needed to evaluate education that intends to improve nurses' cultural competency skills. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of cultural awareness held by undergraduate nursing students. A nonexperimental, cross-sectional design was applied to a purposive sample of 149 undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected based on the Cultural Awareness Scale (CAS). The results show that the nursing students had a moderately high level of cultural awareness for all CAS subscales ( = 194.0). However, no statistically significant differences were seen between the students' demographic (gender and age) and other data (year of study and religion) related to the overall CAS score ( > .05). Building on the satisfactory results obtained from this study, in the future, both the transcultural nursing contents as well as various strategies for teaching cultural competencies should be carefully evaluated.
需要测量护理学生的文化意识，以评估旨在提高护士文化能力技能的教育。本研究的目的是评估本科护理学生的文化意识水平。采用非实验性、横断面设计，对 149 名本科护理学生进行了旨在抽样。数据是根据文化意识量表（CAS）收集的。结果表明，护理学生在所有 CAS 分量表上的文化意识水平都较高（=194.0）。然而，学生的人口统计学（性别和年龄）和其他与整体 CAS 得分相关的数据（学习年限和宗教）之间没有统计学上的显著差异（>.05）。基于这项研究的令人满意的结果，在未来，跨文化护理内容以及各种文化能力教学策略都应该仔细评估。
