Objectives:
The Intercultural Competence (IC) program, an interactive, technology-enhanced educational intervention, was developed to advance nursing students' cultural competence. This longitudinal pretest and posttest study examined its effectiveness.
Methods:
A convenience sample from three sequential cohorts participated voluntarily. Guided by simulation pedagogy, the IC program integrated 2D, 3D, and virtual reality technologies to provide a flexible, low-risk environment for deliberate, repeated practice. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and the Intercultural Competence Scale after each program level.
Results:
All cohorts demonstrated consistent improvement in cultural competence following each level compared with baseline.
Conclusions:
The IC program effectively enhances cultural competence and reflects rigorous, interprofessional scholarship with community partners to prepare nursing students for culturally responsive care.
