Abstract

Introduction: Cultural diversity among nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia poses problems in communication management to ensure optimal patient care. This study explored and described the perceptions of communication among nurses in a culturally diverse workforce.

Methodology: A qualitative approach was used; a sample of seventeen (n=17) nurses was purposively selected. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six steps of thematic qualitative analysis.

Results: Key themes were (1) nurses' perceptions of communication in a culturally diverse workforce, (2) barriers to communication in a culturally diverse workforce, and (3) facilitators of effective communication in a culturally diverse workforce.

Discussion: Nurses have recognized the importance of communicating in a culturally diverse environment to provide optimal care. Strategies such as cultural competence training, open communication forums, and mentorship programs are recommended to improve cross-cultural understanding and collaboration in care teams.

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.
