Factors That Influence Critical Care Nurses' Intentions to Provide Culturally Congruent Care to Arab Muslims

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among critical care nurses' attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions to provide culturally congruent care to Arab Muslims. The provision of culturally congruent care is contingent on understanding nurses' motivational influences for providing culture care. Significant relationships among critical care nurses' behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs, intentions, and demographic variables supported the need for culture-specific debriefing sessions, underscored the importance of collaborative practice and interdisciplinary learning models, and established an evidence-based foundation for the design of culturally informed approaches to nursing education and service.

Perspectives and Attitudes of Jordanian Male College Students on Breast Cancer Screening

“…This is consistent with the attitudes revealed in a study by Al Dasoqi et al [6], in which female students were reluctant to undergo any breast examination if respect for their cultural beliefs was disregarded. These findings are also consistent with other studies from Islamic cultures [32][33][34].…”

Compromise Effect on Consumers’ Behavior

“…attitude, the subjective norm and perceived behavioral control work well. The results also support the studies of Jyh (1998), Okun and Sloane (2002), Martin andKulinna (2004), Wiethoff (2004), Marrone (2005) Kouthouris and Spontis (2005), Santosa (2013), andSantosa (2015).…”

Multicultural family members’ experiences with nurses and the intensive care context: A hermeneutic study

“…Traditions and rituals can play an important part in the decision-making process, for example in some non-Western cultures characterised by paternalism, decisions are made by the male family members on behalf of, for instance, a wife or daughter (Hanssen, 2002). Some religions also have ritualistic approaches to death and dying.The expectation of family members that nurses should be aware of cultural needs corresponds with the findings of Marrone's (2008) and Foronda's (2008) analyses of cultural sensitivity. The findings of the present study also underline the fact that some participants were very satisfied with the nurses' professional attitude, while others reported lack of respect for their feelings and a failure to provide them with information about rules and routines when visiting ICUs.Waiting rooms are primarily places of rest and should be easily accessible to all families when their loved one is admitted to an ICU.…”

“…In relation to such families, Kutash and Northrop (2007) recommended that future research should focus on identifying family members' needs across cultures and the impact of the ICU waiting room design on them. The provision of culturally congruent care was investigated by Marrone (2008), who reported behavioural, normative and control beliefs among critical care nurses, which highlights the need for culture-specific debriefing and interdisciplinary learning models. Furthermore, in a study of Muslim women's experiences of health care providers in the United States (U.S.), Simpson and Carter (2008) identified the following themes: the perceived power of the provider, religiously defined gender relations and being a stranger in the health care system.…”
