Cultural awareness is linked with improved patient outcomes across populations but can be challenging for nurse educators to teach. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a multimodal strategy for increasing cultural awareness in prelicensure nursing students using a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design. Following implementation of curricular revisions, analysis of the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist was completed for a sample of 106 students. Results were statistically significant across all areas and analysis of reflective writing resulted in three major themes. Designing cultural awareness learning activities should be a major focus of nurse educators.
文化意识与不同人群中更好的患者治疗效果相关，但对护理教育工作者来说，教授文化意识可能具有挑战性。本研究的目的是采用准实验性混合方法设计，评估一种多模式策略对提高预注册护理专业学生文化意识的影响。在课程修订实施后，对106名学生的样本完成了文化能力自我评估清单分析。所有领域的结果均具有统计学意义，反思性写作分析得出了三个主要主题。设计文化意识学习活动应成为护理教育工作者的主要关注点。
