Transcultural self-efficacy (TSE) in nursing students grows over time, influenced by prior healthcare experience and education, not demographics. The Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) effectively measures this dynamic construct.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Cultural Competence Research

Background:

  • Transcultural self-efficacy (TSE) is crucial for effective healthcare delivery in diverse populations.
  • Validating tools to measure TSE is essential for curriculum development and student assessment.
  • Understanding factors influencing TSE can enhance nursing education strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) in a diverse student population.
  • To assess the growth of transcultural self-efficacy (TSE) perceptions over time.
  • To identify demographic variables influencing differences in TSE among student groups.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the TSET to 566 undergraduate nursing students (novice and advanced).

  • Analyzed TSET scores to evaluate changes in TSE perceptions.
  • Examined demographic variables (gender, age, ethnicity, income) for their influence on TSE.

    • Main Results:

    • TSE perceptions demonstrated growth over time, particularly between novice and advanced students.
    • Previous healthcare experience and education significantly influenced TSE.
    • Cognitive, practical, and affective subscales of the TSET showed differential ratings between student groups.
    • Demographic variables were not significant predictors of TSE scores.

    Conclusions:

    • TSE is a dynamic construct that evolves with student progression and experience.
    • The TSET provides a valid measure of changes in transcultural self-efficacy.
    • Educational interventions and prior experiences are key drivers of enhanced TSE in nursing students.
