Abstract

Background: Understanding cultural competency is essential for providing competent, culturally sensitive care for improving health outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine nursing students' competency in working with culturally diverse populations.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted among 243 nursing students during their internship. The Cultural Competence Assessment Scale and a perception of student competency scale were used.

Results: The study revealed that nursing students hold a high level of behavioral competence and awareness, with mean scores of 4.99 ± 0.84 and 4.77 ± 0.52, respectively. Nursing students' cultural competency behavior was significantly predicted by resident location and cultural awareness, as revealed by multivariable regression analysis.

Conclusion: Nurses must deliver culturally competent health care to individuals from a variety of backgrounds. It is critical to implement efficient interventions, including focused educational programs, aimed at improving students' readiness to offer equitable and culturally sensitive care to various patient populations.

了解护理专业学生与不同文化背景人群打交道的能力：巴勒斯坦视角。

背景：了解文化胜任力对于提供称职的、对文化敏感的护理以改善健康结果至关重要。因此，本研究旨在考察护理专业学生在与不同文化背景的人群打交道时的能力：方法：对 243 名正在实习的护理专业学生进行了横断面设计。研究采用了文化能力评估量表和学生能力感知量表：研究显示，护理专业学生的行为能力和认知水平较高，平均得分分别为（4.99 ± 0.84）和（4.77 ± 0.52）。多变量回归分析表明，居民所在地和文化意识对护生的文化胜任行为有明显的预测作用：护士必须为来自不同背景的个人提供具有文化胜任力的医疗保健服务。关键是要实施有效的干预措施，包括有针对性的教育计划，以提高学生为不同患者群体提供公平和文化敏感性护理的准备程度。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
