Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a key competency that undergraduate nursing students need to learn, as EBP competence is essential for the effective implementation of EBP. However, few studies have comprehensively assessed the aspects of EBP competence using a reliable and valid measure specific to Korean nursing students. This study aimed to translate the Student Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (S-EBPQ) into Korean and evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: The original S-EBPQ was translated into Korean. After a pilot test, a convenience sample of 249 college students with more than four weeks of clinical training experience was selected from three universities in September 2017. Reliability and construct validity were evaluated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Concurrent validity was evaluated by correlating the measure with informatics competency. Results: The exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors that explained 66.26% of the variance. The confirmatory factor analysis yielded a 4-factor structure (c2/df ¼ 1.52, p < 0.001, standardized rootmean-square residual ¼ 0.069, root-mean-square error of approximation ¼ 0.065, goodness of fit index ¼ 0.835, comparative fit index ¼ 0.910). The Cronbach's alpha was 0.81 for the total scale. The scale's correlation with informatics competency was r ¼ 0.55. Conclusions: The Korean S-EBPQ is a reliable and valid tool that has utility for assessing EBP competence in Korean nursing students and for making comparisons of the EBP competence of nursing students from other countries.

“…In a previous study [8], the 36-hour cultural awareness improvement training provided to 114 nurses and home care providers had a positive effect on cultural awareness and attitudes. Thus, emphasizing the need for cultural competence and self-awareness is a key topic consistent with the purpose of education for PHWs, and it needs to be dealt with extensively [22].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to seek agreement on the core components of an e-learning cultural competence program for Korean public health workers (PHWs) while prioritizing educational content areas. Methods: A two-round Delphi study was performed with 16 Korean experts from five disciplines. Data were collected between August 30 and November 24, 2017. A questionnaire was developed from literature reviews and previous focus group interviews concerning PHWs. The panel members were asked to rate the importance and urgency of educational content areas and the effectiveness of teachingelearning methods and gave opinions on their appropriate frequency, duration, and target audience. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A median of 4.0 or greater or a rate of agreement of 75% or greater was considered a "consensus" for the purposes of this study. Results: All consenting participants responded to two-round surveys. Participants reached consensus on thirty-one educational content areas. Of these, the highest priorities were "necessity of cultural competence of PHWs," "health characteristics according to race and ethnicity," and "establishing trusting relationships with migrants." The most effective teachingelearning method was case-based learning, with seven to eight sessions of training and duration of fewer than 30 minutes per session. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary experts proposed 12 prioritized educational content areas and effective teachingelearning methods as well as their frequency, duration, and target audiences, reflecting Koreaspecific multicultural phenomena and the nature of the work of PHWs. These findings can contribute to preparing PHWs to provide culturally competent services to migrants in their communities.

Unlike Western countries, Asian countries have a brief history of caring for patients with various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Healthcare professionals face difficulty in providing care to foreign patients. Presumably, those with higher cultural sensitivity possess higher cultural competency, and cultural indicators are associated with personal factors, such as interest in or learning experience of foreign languages. We examined correlations between Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) and Cultural Competence in Nursing Scale (CCNS) scores in Japanese nurses and discussed implications of our findings in increasing cultural sensitivity in countries with limited exposure to foreign culture. A questionnaire survey on ISS, CCNS, and personal factors was conducted among 156 nurses. Correlations among the two scales and personal factors were analyzed. Total ISS scores were comparable with previously reported scores. ISS and CCNS scores were moderately correlated. ISS subscale scores were moderately correlated with the learning experience of foreign languages. Nurses most commonly learned English; most foreign patients were Chinese. Experiences of providing care to foreign patients were not related to cultural sensitivity. The lowest ISS score was obtained in "interaction confidence" subscale. Languages used by foreign patients did not match languages that nurses had interest in or had learned; this may contribute to their low confidence in interacting with foreigners. Nurses in a country with limited exposure to different cultures need educational intervention for providing care to foreigners regardless of their cultural experiences. ISS may be useful to identify nurses who need further education to foster confidence while interacting with foreigners.
