Aim:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of cultural competence training provided based on the peer education model on the cultural competence levels of nursing students.
Design:
This study had a randomized controlled pretest-posttest design with intervention and control groups.
Method:
The sample consisted of third- and fourth-year nursing students (intervention group: 75; control group: 78) studying at two non-profit universities in Istanbul.
Results:
There was a significant difference among the cultural knowledge levels of the intervention group in the pretest, first follow-up, and second follow-up measurements (p < 0.05). The cultural competence levels of the participants in the intervention group also differed significantly among the pretest, first follow-up, and second follow-up measurements (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Cultural competence training not only allows nursing students to improve their cultural competence but also helps them understand patients from different cultures better and provide higher-quality patient care.
