Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In recent years, limited studies have evaluated the development of cultural awareness, sensitivity, skills, communication, and competence among nursing students using different models and curricula. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new internationally developed curriculum for transcultural nursing education. This mixed methods study was conducted on nursing students (n=83) who attended a transcultural nursing course from 2021-2022 during the fall semester.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This international curriculum was developed with researchers from seven institutions and five countries (Turkey, Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, Slovenia, and Hungary). The transcultural nursing course, which implemented 25 hours in a one-semester elective course, had 8 hours of theoretical training and 17 hours of practical training in two nursing departments in Turkiye . The course has 3 ETCSs (a 75 h workload for the students). This elective, the Transcultural Nursing Course was chosen by 5th-semester BSc nursing students.

The aim of the course was To develop/promote awareness of culture-based care; it is aimed that at the end of this course, students would be capable of evaluating individuals, families, and communities in a proper and evidence-based manner, and they would be competent to plan, implement and evaluate culture-based nursing care. Learning outputs were prepared based on culture care theory by Madeleine
