Cultural competency is a very important ability of nurses in women's hospitals in providing nursing care during pregnancy and childbirth. This study explored how multicultural attitudes, multicultural efficacy, intercultural communicative competency, and hospital support for cultural competency influence the cultural competency of nurses in women's hospitals.
A cross-sectional correlational study design was used. The study involved 150 nurses from five women's hospitals located in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. Participants completed a packet of structured self-report questionnaires, which included the Korean version of the Cultural Competence Scale for Clinical Nurses, the Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire, the Intercultural Communicative Competence Questionnaire, the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Organizational Support among Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument. We analyzed the collected data using descriptive statistics, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Among the general characteristics, educational level, religion, and experience with overseas travel were identified as factors influencing cultural competency. In the final model, multicultural attitudes (β=.46, p<.001) and intercultural communicative competency (β=.19, p=.025) emerged as significant individual factors that affected cultural competency. This model accounted for 49.8% of the variance in cultural competency.
This study identified multicultural attitudes and intercultural communicative competency as significant individual factors contributing to the cultural competency of nurses in women's hospitals. Therefore, enhancing these nurses' multicultural attitudes and intercultural communicative competency is essential for improving their overall cultural competency.
文化能力是妇产医院护士在孕期和分娩期间提供护理时非常重要的一项能力。本研究探讨了多元文化态度、多元文化效能、跨文化交际能力以及医院对文化能力的支持如何影响妇产医院护士的文化能力。
采用横断面相关性研究设计。该研究涉及来自韩国庆尚北道和庆尚南道五家妇产医院的150名护士。参与者完成了一组结构化的自我报告问卷，其中包括临床护士文化能力量表的韩语版、多元文化态度量表问卷、跨文化交际能力问卷、跨文化自我效能量表以及文化能力评估工具中的组织支持量表。我们使用描述性统计、t检验、单因素方差分析、皮尔逊相关系数和分层多元回归分析对收集到的数据进行了分析。
在一般特征中，教育水平、宗教信仰和海外旅行经历被确定为影响文化能力的因素。在最终模型中，多元文化态度（β = 0.46，p < 0.001）和跨文化交际能力（β = 0.19，p = 0.025）成为影响文化能力的重要个体因素。该模型解释了文化能力变异的49.8%。
本研究确定多元文化态度和跨文化交际能力是妇产医院护士文化能力的重要个体因素。因此，增强这些护士的多元文化态度和跨文化交际能力对于提高他们的整体文化能力至关重要。
