Summary
Nursing students exhibit diverse levels of intercultural sensitivity, falling into three distinct profiles. Understanding these profiles and influencing factors like gender and international experience can help tailor educational strategies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Cultural Competence
- Intercultural Communication
Background:
- Intercultural sensitivity is crucial for cultural competence in nursing.
- Nurses require awareness of cultural factors and differences for quality care.
- Previous research overlooked heterogeneity in nursing students' intercultural sensitivity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate latent profiles of intercultural sensitivity among nursing students.
- To identify variables associated with different intercultural sensitivity profiles.
Main Methods:
- 599 nursing students surveyed online in Anhui Province, China.
- Intercultural Sensitivity Scale used for assessment.
- Latent profile analysis and logistic regression employed.
Main Results:
- Three distinct profiles identified: high sensitivity-moderate enjoyment, moderate sensitivity-low enjoyment, and low sensitivity-high enjoyment.
- Gender, grade, international exchange experience, and English proficiency influenced profile membership.
Conclusions:
- Significant heterogeneity exists in nursing students' intercultural sensitivity.
- Tailored support strategies can be developed based on profile characteristics.
- Early identification of profiles and factors can enhance students' intercultural sensitivity.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

14.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...
