Abstract

Background

The nursing profession has experienced a growing influx of international nursing students pursuing nursing degrees in the current era. Predicting and controlling culture shock among this special group is a critical issue as it shapes their academic engagement. Building resilience capabilities among this set of students is a pivotal necessity to buffer the effect of culture shock on their academic engagement.

Objective

To explore the relationship between culture shock and academic engagement among international nursing students, and investigate the moderating effect of resilience on this relationship.

Design

Cross-sectional correlational study.

Setting

Three faculties of nursing at Egypt.

Participants

A total of 252 international nursing students were assessed for eligibility. Twelve students were excluded, and out of the 240 respondents to the survey, 233 responses were valid and were ultimately analyzed.

Methods

A hand-delivered anonymous questionnaire in Arabic and English that consisted of four parts was used to collect the data. It included students' characteristics and relevant data, the culture shock questionnaire, the academic resilience scale, and the university student engagement inventory. The data collection spans from the beginning of November 2023 to the end of December 2023. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and linear regression were employed via SPSS and Process Macro to test the hypothetical relationships among the study variables.

Results

There was a significant negative correlation between culture shock and the academic engagement of international nursing students. Culture shock and resilience are powerful predictors of their academic engagement. The moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between culture shock and the academic engagement of international nursing students was statistically significant, making it less negative.

Conclusion

Culture shock is an inevitable phenomenon among international nursing students and has a negative effect on their academic engagement and performance. This negative effect could be buffered by maximizing the resilience capabilities of this set of students.

国际护理学生的文化冲击和学术参与：复原力的调节作用。

背景：当今时代，越来越多的国际护理专业学生涌入护理行业，攻读护理学位。预测和控制这一特殊群体的文化冲击是一个关键问题，因为这将影响他们的学业参与度。培养这部分学生的抗逆能力是缓冲文化冲击对其学业参与度影响的关键所在：探讨文化冲击与国际护理专业学生学业投入之间的关系，并研究复原力对这种关系的调节作用：设计：横断面相关研究：地点：埃及三所护理学院：共对 252 名国际护理专业学生进行了资格评估。12名学生被排除在外，在240名调查对象中，233份回答有效，并最终进行了分析：收集数据时使用的是阿拉伯语和英语手递匿名问卷，问卷由四个部分组成。其中包括学生特征和相关数据、文化冲击问卷、学业适应力量表和大学生参与度清单。数据收集的时间跨度为 2023 年 11 月初至 2023 年 12 月底。通过 SPSS 和 Process Macro，采用描述性统计、相关分析和线性回归来检验研究变量之间的假设关系：结果：文化冲击与国际护理专业学生的学术参与度之间存在明显的负相关。文化冲击和复原力是其学术参与度的有力预测因素。复原力对文化冲击与留学生学术参与度之间关系的调节作用在统计学上显著，使其负相关程度降低：文化冲击是护理专业留学生不可避免的现象，会对他们的学业参与度和学习成绩产生负面影响。这种负面影响可以通过最大限度地提高这部分学生的抗逆能力来缓冲。
