Abstract

Background

The development of cultural competence, particularly in addressing the needs of LGBT individuals, has emerged as a vital component of nursing education.

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the level of LGBT cultural competency among nursing students and identify related factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional descriptive design was adopted, involving a sample of 333 undergraduate nursing students in central Vietnam, conducted in 2024. The data gathering included the LGBT-Development of Clinical Skills Scale, Cultural Motivation, and Cultural Behavior.

Results

The average score of LGBT-DOCSS was 4.53 ± 0.48, while the mean scores of cultural motivation and cultural behavior were 4.72 (0.85) and 4.68 (1.04), respectively. A multivariate linear regression model demonstrated four predictors of LGBT cultural competence, including general self-efficacy, frequency of LGBT interpersonal interactions, cultural motivation, and cultural behavior (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The findings indicate that nursing students exhibit a moderate level of LGBT cultural competence. To foster inclusive and equitable healthcare services, targeted intervention programs are needed to further develop these competencies, particularly in the context of an increasingly diverse patient population.

本科护生LGBT文化能力预测及其与文化动机和行为的关系：一项横断面研究

文化能力的发展，特别是在解决LGBT个体的需求方面，已经成为护理教育的重要组成部分。目的了解护生的LGBT文化能力水平，并探讨相关因素。方法采用横断面描述性设计，于2024年对越南中部333名护理本科生进行调查。数据收集包括lgbt -临床技能发展量表、文化动机和文化行为。结果LGBT-DOCSS平均得分为4.53±0.48分，文化动机和文化行为平均得分分别为4.72（0.85）和4.68（1.04）分。多元线性回归模型显示了LGBT文化能力的四个预测因子，包括一般自我效能感、LGBT人际交往频率、文化动机和文化行为（p < 0.001）。结论护生的LGBT文化能力处于中等水平。为了促进包容和公平的医疗保健服务，需要有针对性的干预方案来进一步发展这些能力，特别是在患者群体日益多样化的背景下。
