The aim of this study is to investigate child health care nurses' cultural competence in health visits with children and their families of foreign background.
A cross-sectional design combined with a qualitative explorative design.
The nurses assessed their cultural competence using a modified version of the Clinical Cultural Competency Questionnaire. Interviews were used to obtain a detailed description of the nurses' cultural competence.
The nurses assessed themselves as rather culturally competent. They scored above mid-score in the total score for cultural competence and on all subscales. Education in cultural diversity at the nurses' workplace had the highest association to cultural competence. The nurses described their awareness as recognizing each child and her/his family rather than their cultural background, and viewing the child as a unique part of her/his cultural context. Despite their high scores on cultural competence, the nurses described a lack of cultural knowledge and explained their need of further knowledge.
本研究旨在调查儿童保健护士在与有外国背景的儿童及其家庭进行健康访视时的文化能力。
横断面设计结合定性探索性设计。
护士使用改良版临床文化能力问卷评估他们的文化能力。访谈用于详细描述护士的文化能力。
护士自我评估为具有相当的文化能力。他们在文化能力总分和所有子量表上的得分均高于中值。在护士工作场所接受文化多样性教育与文化能力的相关性最高。护士们描述了他们的意识，即认识每个孩子及其家庭，而不是他们的文化背景，并将孩子视为其文化背景的独特组成部分。尽管护士们在文化能力方面得分较高，但他们描述了缺乏文化知识，并解释了他们对进一步知识的需求。
