Abstract

Introduction: Cultural competence is essential for nurses to enhance the quality of care and reduce care inequity in diverse cultures. Throughout the world, populations are resettling to different regions for various reasons, necessitating the importance of teaching cultural skills to nursing students. This study determined the cultural competence of Vietnamese undergraduate nursing students and the factors influencing cultural competence.

Method: The cross-sectional study was performed with 169 undergraduate nursing students in Vietnam. Data on cultural competence, measured by the Nurse Cultural Competence Scale (NCCS), empathy, and self-efficacy was collected. Multiple regression analysis examined the factors influencing cultural competency.

Results: A positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and cultural competence (β = 0.47, p < .001), between empathy and self-efficacy (p < .001), and a negative relationship between ethnicity and empathy (p < .05).

Discussion: Improving undergraduate nursing students' cultural competency is essential in education programs; cultural competency training focuses on strengthening self-efficacy and empathy.

越南护生文化能力及其影响因素

文化能力对于护士在不同文化中提高护理质量和减少护理不平等至关重要。在世界范围内，由于各种原因，人口正在重新安置到不同的地区，因此必须向护理学生教授文化技能。本研究旨在了解越南护生文化能力及其影响因素。方法：对169名越南护生进行横断面研究。通过护士文化能力量表（NCCS）、共情和自我效能感来测量文化能力的数据。多元回归分析考察了文化胜任力的影响因素。结果：自我效能感与文化能力呈显著正相关（β = 0.47, p < 0.001），共情与自我效能感呈显著正相关（p < 0.001），种族与共情呈显著负相关（p < 0.05）。探讨：提高本科护生文化能力是护生教育的重要内容；文化胜任力训练侧重于增强自我效能感和同理心。
