“…This was not the case with the students whose attitudes were positive from the beginning of the course. This must be taken into account, as it emphasizes the importance of training in university students (Cerezo et al, 2014, Preposi Cruz et al, 2017), especially those with cultural backgrounds where prejudices toward and stereotypes of migrants are more commonplace.…”

“…Using a quasi-experimental approach, Cerezo et al (2014) analyzed the impact of training on the development of cultural competence in the nursing degree with an optional course of 5 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits. The results suggest that the students, after their training, improved their knowledge and skills and had become more aware of this issue.…”

Introduction Increased migration may lead to an increase in prejudiced attitudes in the host population, which may affect the nursing care provided to this group. Objectives To identify the attitudes of nursing students toward Moroccan patients and to analyze whether changes in attitude toward this population have taken place after completing a course on cross-culturalism. Method A quasi-experimental design with a single group and pretest/posttest measurements. The sample consisted of 116 nursing students. Results There were significant differences after receiving the course on cross-culturalism, with a more positive influence on students who exhibited the most negative attitudes in the pretest phase. Discussion Nursing students have negative attitudes toward the Moroccan population as do the rest of the host population, but these attitudes improve after their training in the course on cross-culturalism.

“…[27] Studies revealed that the level of cultural awareness among nursing students could be increased when adequate education was included in their study program. [28][29][30] The above-mentioned studies clearly indicate the importance of education for preparing and promoting nurses' skills for working in a culturally diverse setting in the contemporary society. Therefore, this study attempts to explore students' cultural awareness related to their nursing education by considering their socio-demographic background.…”

Background/Objective: Cultural awareness refers to when someone is aware of his/her own and other people's cultural values. Academic nursing education should promote students' ability to analyze, understand, and respect people's cultural backgrounds and their values to be able provide equitable care in a multicultural society. This essential competence for nursing students can be obtained through learning and practicing to prioritize people's greatest needs. The aim of this study was to explore students' cultural awareness related to their nursing education by considering their socio-demographic background. Methods: This quantitative study was conducted by means of a pre-designed Cultural Awareness Scale. In total, 215 students participated in this study. Descriptive statistics were used to report the distribution of the data, and regression analysis was carried out to assess the statistical significance of the association between the variables. Results: The results indicated moderately high cultural awareness among nursing students related to their general education, cognitive awareness, comfort with interaction, and clinical practice/patient care. Nevertheless, no statistically significant correlation was identified between the socio-demographic factors (sex, age, and experience of living abroad). However, being a first generation immigrant was significantly associated with better cultural awareness in terms of Patient Care/Clinical Issue. Conclusions: In Sweden, universities are free to design their educational programs since there is no universal curriculum that applies to all the universities; nonetheless, the relatively high level of cultural awareness remained the same for the universities under investigation. This finding suggests that the importance of cultural awareness in nursing education is recognized in this context.

“…The training the health professionals in this study received regarding the delivery of health care to diverse cultures was found to be a key determinant of their cultural competency level. In the literature, such training is reported to have a positive effect on cultural competency (Cerezo, Galceran, Soriano, Camps, & Moral, 2014;Cruz, Machuca Contreras, Ortiz López, Zapata Aqueveque, & Vitorino, 2018;Truong et al, 2014). It has been additionally reported that training not only improves knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to cultural competency but also contributes greatly to patient outcomes (Downing, Kowal, & Paradies, 2011;Truong et al, 2014).…”

Culturally competent healthcare professionals are important in improving the quality of health care. The lack of a measurement tool in the literature that evaluates the cultural competence of the multidisciplinary team in primary health care is noteworthy. The aim of this study is to develop a Primary Health Care Professionals' Cultural Competency Scale (PHCP-CCS) by adapting the Nurse Cultural Competency Scale (NCCS) developed by Perng and Watson (2012), and to examine the various factors affecting cultural competency in Turkey. A total of 231 health professionals, including family doctors, family health nurses and community health professionals, participated in this study. In the item analysis, the correlations of the items with the total score varied between .60 and 82. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure that explained 73.5% of total variance. Items 1-8 of the PHCP-CCS were included under the heading "Cultural Skills," items 9-16 under "Cultural Knowledge" and items 17-20 under "Cultural Sensitivity." Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for the overall scale was .84 and was calculated as .78, .76 and .87 for the respective factors. The experiences of the participants were grouped and compared for discriminant validity. It was found that being able to speak different languages, having contact with friends and neighbors from different cultures, and being educated about serving people from various cultures increased the cultural competency of primary health professionals. In addition, the PHCP-CCS scores of all the primary health professionals who were happy to be working with migrants and refugees were considerably higher. The results show that PHCP-CCS is a measurement tool that can be used to determine cultural competency among primary health care workers. In addition, the scale is also suitable for use in the clinical field for all professionals providing health services to the individual, families and the community.
