Cultural competence is more important than ever for nurses today; therefore, it may be helpful to learn more about it and examine how it relates to empathy, job conflict, and work engagement. The purpose of this study was to determine (a) the level of cultural competence, empathy, job conflict, and work engagement; (b) the relationship between cultural competence, demographic information, and main variables; (c) the predictors of cultural competence among critical care nurses.
A multicenter, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran from August to October 2022. Through convenience sampling, 153 critical care nurses from three hospitals participated. The research tool consisted of five parts: Demographic information questionnaire, Cultural Competence Questionnaire, Jefferson Scale Empathy, Dobrin Job Conflict, and Utrecht Work Engagement, which were collected by paper self-report. Descriptive statistics, the correlation between variables, and linear regression were used to analyze the data.
Among critical care nurses (response rate 79.27%), the mean (SD) scores for cultural competence, empathy, job conflict, and work engagement were 74.05 (7.96), 83.44 (29.17), 11.00 (2.38), and 43.69 (16.33), respectively. There was a significant correlation between cultural competence and age (r = 0.46, p = 0.001), marital status (r = 0.27, p = 0.004), academic degree (r = 0.44, p = 0.001), work experiences (r = 0.43, p = 0.001), empathy (r = 0.50, p = 0.001), and job conflict (r=-0.16, p = 0.049). Academic degree (β = 0.36, p < 0.001) and empathy (β = 0.26, p < 0.001) were significant explanatory variables that predict cultural competence.
In Iranian critical care nurses, cultural competence and job conflict were moderate, empathy was good, and work engagement was poor. There was a significant relationship between cultural competence, age, marital status, academic degree, work experiences, empathy, and job conflict. Academic degree and empathy predict cultural competence.
对于如今的护士而言，文化能力比以往任何时候都更为重要；因此，更多地了解文化能力并审视其与同理心、工作冲突和工作投入之间的关系可能会有所帮助。本研究的目的是确定：（a）文化能力、同理心、工作冲突和工作投入的水平；（b）文化能力、人口统计学信息与主要变量之间的关系；（c）重症监护护士文化能力的预测因素。
2022年8月至10月在伊朗进行了一项多中心描述性横断面研究。通过便利抽样，来自三家医院的153名重症监护护士参与了研究。研究工具包括五个部分：人口统计学信息问卷、文化能力问卷、杰斐逊同理心量表、多布林工作冲突量表和乌得勒支工作投入量表，通过纸质自填问卷收集数据。使用描述性统计、变量间的相关性分析和线性回归分析数据。
在重症监护护士中（应答率79.27%），文化能力、同理心、工作冲突和工作投入的平均（标准差）得分分别为74.05（7.96）、83.44（29.17）、11.00（2.38）和43.69（16.33）。文化能力与年龄（r = 0.46，p = 0.001）、婚姻状况（r = 0.27，p = 0.004）、学历（r = 0.44，p = 0.001）、工作经验（r = 0.43，p = 0.001）、同理心（r = 0.50，p = 0.001）和工作冲突（r = -0.16，p = 0.049）之间存在显著相关性。学历（β = 0.36，p < 0.001）和同理心（β = 0.26，p < 0.001）是预测文化能力的重要解释变量。
在伊朗重症监护护士中，文化能力和工作冲突处于中等水平，同理心良好，工作投入较差。文化能力与年龄、婚姻状况、学历、工作经验、同理心和工作冲突之间存在显著关系。学历和同理心可预测文化能力。
