Comparison of Two Methods of Teaching Culture to Bachelor of Science in Nursing Students
Background:
The nursing literature examining effective methods to teach transcultural self-efficacy demonstrates inconsistent findings. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a nursing stand-alone culture course with concurrent field experiences compared with the standard integrated culture content in the curriculum in increasing transcultural self-efficacy in nursing students.
Method:
This quasi-experimental, static-group comparison used the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool to measure outcomes. The treatment group consisted of first-semester nursing students (n = 53) enrolled in a pilot 2-credit culture course. The control group consisted of graduating senior nursing students (n = 19) who had culture integrated throughout the curriculum.
Results:
The posttest of the first-semester students in the treatment group scored higher than either their pretest or the graduating senior students (control group).
Conclusion:
The stand-alone culture course had a greater positive effect than the integrated culture content on students' transcultural self-efficacy. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(10):609-613.].
