As global health issues become more important, nursing education is undergoing change to reflect the changing global health environment and new knowledge. Nurses are required to be able to understand and interact with patients of diverse cultural backgrounds and characteristics and have relevant global health competencies.
The aims of this study were to determine the GHC status of nurses and to analyze the association between GHC and nurse characteristics.
This study was a cross-sectional descriptive survey using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected from 473 nurses to collect information about participants' GHC and general characteristics, including gender, age, nursing experience (years), experience of caring for foreign patients, English communication skills, learning experience in global health, and global preparedness. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between GHC and nurse characteristics.
The mean GHC score of nurses was 2.21 out of 4. "Nursing practice in globalization" was the most important global health competency, while "resource management in globalization" was the one that was most necessary. In addition, "Resource management in globalization" was the highest priority for global health competency. Global preparedness ( = .25, < .001) and the perceived necessity of GHC in nursing practice ( = .28, < .001) were statistically significant factors influencing the global health competency of nurses.
Based on the relationship identified between GHC and the characteristics of nurses, it is essential to develop an education program for enhancing global preparedness and perception of the necessity of GHC.
随着全球健康问题变得愈发重要，护理教育正在发生变革，以反映不断变化的全球健康环境和新知识。护士需要能够理解不同文化背景和特征的患者并与之互动，具备相关的全球健康能力。
本研究旨在确定护士的全球健康能力（GHC）状况，并分析GHC与护士特征之间的关联。
本研究采用便利抽样法进行横断面描述性调查。从473名护士中收集数据，以获取有关参与者的GHC和一般特征的信息，包括性别、年龄、护理经验（年）、照顾外国患者的经验、英语沟通能力、全球健康学习经历以及全球准备情况。采用多元回归分析来确定GHC与护士特征之间的关系。
护士的GHC平均得分为4分制中的2.21分。“全球化中的护理实践”是最重要的全球健康能力，而“全球化中的资源管理”是最必要的一项。此外，“全球化中的资源管理”是全球健康能力的最高优先事项。全球准备情况（β = 0.25，p < 0.001）和在护理实践中对GHC的感知必要性（β = 0.28，p < 0.001）是影响护士全球健康能力的统计学显著因素。
基于所确定的GHC与护士特征之间的关系，制定一项旨在提高全球准备情况和对GHC必要性的认知的教育计划至关重要。
