This study was carried out to determine cultural sensitivity levels and affecting factors among the students who were studying at health-related departments.
The study had a cross-sectional design. The universe of the study consisted of 1127 students who were studying at 1 and 4 years in nursing department of institute of health sciences, school of physical therapy and rehabilitation and medical faculty of a state university. 523 students who agreed to participate in the study and who were attending school on the day of data collection constituted the sample of the study. The data of the study were collected using a socio-demographic data form and Intercultural Sensitivity Scale. Descriptive statistics were used in data analysis. In addition, t test was used in paired groups, and one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) was used in more than two groups.
The mean score of the students from Intercultural Sensitivity Scale was found to be 3.88±0.64. It was determined that cultural sensitivity was higher among the students who had interaction with people from different cultures, whose opinions about their jobs changed positively during their education, who wanted to attend student exchange programs and who spoke a foreign language (p<0.05).
In this study, the cultural sensitivity level of the students was found to be at a good level. In addition, gender, interaction with people from different cultures, participation in student exchange programs and knowledge of a foreign language were found to have a bearing on cultural sensitivity. Based on these results, the promotion of collaborations which would create opportunities allowing students to interact with individuals from different cultures might be offered. This would support them in the improvement of their language qualifications and would enable participation of more students in student exchange programs abroad.
本研究旨在确定在与健康相关专业学习的学生的文化敏感水平及其影响因素。
本研究采用横断面设计。研究总体包括一所国立大学健康科学学院护理系、物理治疗与康复学院以及医学院一、四年级的1127名学生。523名同意参与研究且在数据收集当天在校的学生构成了研究样本。研究数据通过社会人口统计学数据表和跨文化敏感度量表收集。数据分析采用描述性统计。此外，配对组使用t检验，两组以上使用单因素方差分析（ANOVA）。
学生跨文化敏感度量表的平均得分是3.88±0.64。研究确定，与来自不同文化的人有互动、在学习期间对其职业看法有积极改变、想参加学生交流项目以及会说外语的学生，其文化敏感性更高（p<0.05）。
在本研究中，发现学生的文化敏感水平处于良好状态。此外，发现性别、与来自不同文化的人的互动、参与学生交流项目以及外语知识与文化敏感性有关。基于这些结果，可以促进开展合作，创造机会让学生与来自不同文化的人互动。这将支持他们提高语言能力，并使更多学生能够参与国外的学生交流项目。
