Nurses must possess the capacity for compassionate care and exhibit empathy to promote culturally competent care. This research investigated the mediating role of compassion in the relationship between ethnocultural empathy and intercultural sensitivity among nurses.
The study was conducted at a hospital that provides health care services to refugees. In total, 125 nurses were recruited through the simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a personal form and three scales. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS23 and AMOS24.
Nurses' cultural sensitivity positively influenced their compassion competence and ethnocultural empathy. Compassion competence did not function as a full mediator in the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and ethnocultural empathy.
This study revealed that exposure to different cultures contributed to compassion competence, ethnocultural empathy, and cultural sensitivity skills in nurses. Cultural competence is a critical component of nursing care; therefore, it should be developed through curriculum revisions and a sensitive and supportive discussion of experiences.
护士必须具备同情心护理的能力并表现出同理心，以促进具有文化胜任力的护理。本研究调查了同情心在护士的民族文化同理心与跨文化敏感性之间关系中的中介作用。
该研究在一家为难民提供医疗服务的医院进行。通过简单随机抽样技术共招募了125名护士。使用个人表格和三个量表收集数据。使用SPSS23和AMOS24进行统计分析。
护士的文化敏感性对其同情心能力和民族文化同理心有积极影响。同情心能力在跨文化敏感性与民族文化同理心之间的关系中并非完全中介作用。
本研究表明，接触不同文化有助于培养护士的同情心能力、民族文化同理心和文化敏感性技能。文化胜任力是护理的关键组成部分；因此，应通过课程修订以及对经验进行敏感且支持性的讨论来加以培养。
