Cultural competence course for nursing students in Taiwan: A longitudinal study

Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Cultural Competence Assessment

“…The mean scores of the KCAS and Modified KCAS were higher than those of the KCCB and Modified KCCB. These results are supported by previous reports of a higher mean score on the CAS than on the CCB (Lin et al , ; Starr & Wallace, , ). The definition of the CCB is based on the results of contact experiences with diverse groups, an improvement of awareness, and the refinement of sensitivity (Doorenbos et al , ).…”

“…The CCA has been applied to a wide range of healthcare providers, including nurses, nurse practitioners, nursing students, nurse assistants, nutritionists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, and clerical workers (Benkert, Templin, Schim, Doorenbos, & Bell, ; Doorenbos & Schim, ; Doorenbos, Schim, Benkert, & Borse, ; Lin, Chang, Wang, & Huang, ; Marra, Covassin, Shingles, Canady, & Mackowiak, ; Ohm & Rosen, ; Schim et al , ; Schim, Doorenbos, & Borse, , , ). Although few studies have comprehensively evaluated its reliability and validity (Doorenbos et al ; Schim et al , ), its reliability has been reported as high (Chae & Kang, ).…”

Exploring the growth trajectory of cultural competence in Taiwanese paediatric nurses

“…There have only been a few studies investigating the cultural care provided by nurses in Taiwan, and few of these relevant studies were applied to case reports or chronic care institutions. In addition, few nursing schools in Taiwan provide elective transcultural courses (Liang et al., ; Lin, Chang, Wang, & Huang, ; Perng, Lin, & Chuang, ), and many healthcare providers do not have knowledge of cultural care (Liang et al., ; Lin, Chang et al., ; Lin, Mastel‐Smith, Alfred, & Lin, ). Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the evolution of cultural competence in Taiwanese paediatric nurses.…”

Do student demographics and country location affect the international learning experience of nursing students?

“…It is thought that nursing students who participate in an overseas placement will have excellent opportunities to broaden their horizons, promote their personal and professional development, and improve their interpersonal skills through communicating with people from a different culture. Cultural competence is considered crucial not only to prepare students to deliver culturally competent care to patients from different ethnic backgrounds, [3] but also to enhance the image of the healthcare institution for which they work, in the area of patient services. Cultural competence education in nursing curricula consisted of prioritising the cultural factors that affect healthcare delivery, promoting optimum and high quality care to diverse patient population and being able to address social justice and healthcare disparities.…”

“…Cultural competence education in nursing curricula consisted of prioritising the cultural factors that affect healthcare delivery, promoting optimum and high quality care to diverse patient population and being able to address social justice and healthcare disparities. [3] An international clinical learning experience provides a unique opportunity for learners to visit and observe the nursing practices and healthcare systems of other countries. Nowadays, nursing students are increasingly aware of the opportunities that are available to go abroad to gain overseas experience, in addition to local experience.…”
