Background:
Cultural awareness is crucial for nurses to foster positive patient interactions and deliver quality health care. This study examines the relationship between cultural attitudes, engagement, and psychological well-being among nursing students.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study conducted with 100 senior Bachelor of Science in Nursing students, age 19 to 24 years, from a large public university in the southeastern United States involved a one-time survey in Spring 2022 using the Cultural Diversity Awareness Questionnaire, Student Engagement in Schools Questionnaire, and Abbreviated Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-being.
Results:
Significant positive correlations were identified between cultural diversity awareness and engagement (r = 0.43), and cultural diversity awareness and psychological well-being (r = 0.39, p < .05). Students with higher levels of cultural diversity awareness reported greater engagement and psychological well-being.
Conclusion:
The results underscore the importance of cultural awareness in nursing education. Further research should assess its impact on educational outcomes and student psychological well-being and develop initiatives to enhance cultural diversity awareness among nursing students.
