An evaluation of the impact of an intercultural service learning experience on the development of transcultural self-efficacy of nursing studentsSchmidt, Lynn Marie 06 November 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The increase in diverse populations with unique, culturally specific needs, along with the lack of diverse healthcare providers to deliver culturally competent care, has escalated the need for non-diverse practitioners to gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to deliver culturally competent care. Culturally competent care cannot be offered to patients unless nurses understand how cultural values, attitudes, and beliefs impact patients' response to care. Nurses must develop cultural competence to accurately access, develop, and implement effective nursing interventions.
The purpose of this exploratory, quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest study was to explore the impact of an intercultural service learning experience (domestic or international) on pre-licensure nursing students' perceived development of transcultural self-efficacy. A convenience sample of senior semester nursing students enrolled in a private, faith-based, baccalaureate degree nursing program in the Midwest United States completed the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET), Cultural Competence Clinical Evaluation Tool-Student Version (CCCET-SV), and reflective journals. All students were immersed in an intercultural service learning experience. Eighteen students traveled domestically and 38 traveled internationally.
The data revealed that there was not a statistical difference in TSET scores based on location of the intercultural experience. However, there was a statistically significant difference from pretest to posttest for perceived Cognitive, Practical, and Affective dimensions of transcultural self-efficacy, in change scores (pretest to posttest), and pretest to posttest for pre-licensure BSN students’ perceived clinical competence behaviors (culturally sensitive and professionally appropriate attitudes, values, and beliefs) following an intercultural service learning experience.
