Intercultural sensitivity, intercultural competence and their relationship with perceived stress among nurses: evidence from Iran

Public health nurses are performing various roles during the COVID-19 pandemic: counseling, surveillance, specimen collection, epidemiological investigation, education, and vaccination. This study investigated their disaster competencies in the context of emerging infectious diseases, and identified their influencing factors based on Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory. A convenience sample of 242 was selected from public health nurses working in a metropolitan city of South Korea. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0. Results showed that the significant factors influencing disaster competencies included “willingness to respond to a disaster,” “preventive behavior,” “experience of receiving education on emerging infectious diseases response,” “public health center experience,” “job satisfaction,” and “education.” This regression model explained 33.2% of the variance in disaster competencies. “Willingness to respond to a disaster” was the strongest factor affecting disaster competencies. Based on these results, it is concluded that interventions to improve disaster competencies and psychological well-being of public health nurses are needed. Additionally, strategies such as creating a supportive work environment, deploying experienced nurses primarily on the front line, and reducing the tasks of permanent public health nurses should be implemented.

We use relevant electronic databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Iran Medex, SID, Magiran, Google Scholar, Iran Doc, and Science Direct databases. RESULTS: The results showed that despite the similarities, the Swedish nursing curriculum had special features in most of the mentioned dimensions. Including decentralized admission, Fits the need, competency-based curriculum, attention to holistic care and intercultural care, use of new digital technologies in education, and clinical training and evaluation.
