As conflict caused by cultural diversity among patients in China continues to rise, hospitals are in urgent need for improvement of transcultural efficacy among nurses. This study aims to evaluate the transcultural self-efficacy of nurses working in the tertiary general hospital in Guizhou Province, an ethnic minority region in western China, and to identify whether nurses' demographic characteristics affect their transcultural self-efficacy.
We used the Chinese version of the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET-CV) to survey 1,190 in-service nurses.
Results showed that the level of transcultural self-efficacy of the nurses was generally moderate; few of the nurses had high or low transcultural self-efficacy. The nurses' transcultural self-efficacy was affected by demographic variables, including age, marital status, employment type, income, work experience, and whether or not they were head nurses. Having a stable work environment, a stable marriage, a good educational background, and a high-ranked professional title were associated with increased transcultural self-efficacy.
Nursing administrators in hospitals should offer continuing education on transcultural nursing according to nurses' demographic characteristics and the SEST scores.
随着中国患者文化多样性导致的冲突不断增加,医院迫切需要提高护士的跨文化效能。本研究旨在评估在中国西部少数民族地区贵州省的三级综合医院工作的护士的跨文化自我效能,并确定护士的人口统计学特征是否会影响其跨文化自我效能。
我们使用中文版的跨文化自我效能量表(TSET-CV)对1190名在职护士进行了调查。
结果显示,护士的跨文化自我效能水平总体中等;很少有护士具有高或低跨文化自我效能。护士的跨文化自我效能受到人口统计学变量的影响,包括年龄、婚姻状况、就业类型、收入、工作经验以及是否担任护士长。拥有稳定的工作环境、稳定的婚姻、良好的教育背景和较高的职称与跨文化自我效能的提高相关。
医院护理管理者应根据护士的人口统计学特征和SEST得分提供跨文化护理继续教育。
