Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting cultural competency among nursing students in Korea. This study was a cross-sectional survey design. Participants were 188 undergraduate nursing students in E university, Gyeonggi province. Data collection was conducted through the use of self-administration questionnaires of self-efficacy, empathy, confidence of cultural nursing, and cultural competency from 2nd November to 13th December in 2013. The data were analyzed descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 18.0 software. The average age of the participants was 20.97 (SD=2.0) years and the average score of foreign language skill and confidence of cultural nursing was 4.98 (SD=1.72) and 4.66 (SD=1.89), respectively. Mean self-efficacy score was 79.32 (range: 59-102), mean empathy score was 107.56 (range: 61-141), and mean cultural competency score was 122.17 (range: 69-201). Statistically significant positive relationships were found between cultural competency and confidence of cultural nursing (r=.403, p<.001), and between cultural competency and self-efficacy (r=.227, p<.001). Twenty-four percent of cultural competency was explained by confidence of cultural nursing, residence experience in foreign country, and self-efficacy. Based on these results, it can be suggested that diversity of teaching methods and cultural education programs need to improve cultural competency.

본 연구의 목적은 한국의 간호대학생의 문화적 역량에 미치는 영향 요인을 파악하기 위한 횡단적 조사연구이다. 경기도에 위치한 E 대학 간호대학생 188명을 대상으로 자기효능감, 공감능력, 문화간호 자신감, 문화적 역량에 대한 자가보고 질문지를 사용하여 2013년 11월 2일부터 12월 13일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t 검정, 일원분산분석, 상관분석, 다중선형회귀분석을 하였다. 연구대상자의 평균 연령은 20.97세(SD=2.00)이었고 외국어 능력과 문화간호 자신감의 평균 점수는 각각 4.98점(SD=1.72)과 4.66점(SD=1.89)이었다. 자기효능감의 평균 점수는 79.32점(범위 59-102)이었고, 공감능력의 평균 점수는 107.56점(범위 61-141)이었으며, 문화적 역량의 평균 점수는 122.17점(범위 69-201)이었다. 문화적 역량과 문화간호 자신감(r=.403, p<.001), 자기효능감(r=.227, p<.001) 간에는 유의한 정적 상관관계가 있었다. 간호대학생의 문화적 역량에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요인은 문화간호 자신감, 외국거주경험, 자기효능감이었고 총분산의 24%를 설명하고 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 간호대학생의 문화적 역량을 향상시키기 위한 다문화교육 프로그램과 다양한 교수방법이 필요하다.
