Abstract

In healthcare, practicing cultural competence is expected; however, nurses struggle to fulfill this expectation (Repo et al., 2017). Language barriers and inadequate cultural knowledge often lead to anxiety and difficulty in establishing a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship (Muzumdar, Holiday-Goodman, Black, & Powers, 2010). As a result, the quality of care provided in cross-cultural care encounters is often compromised.

To determine the impact that participating in a culturally based nursing course has on the nursing student's perceived level of transcultural self-efficacy, transcultural confidence, and cultural knowledge.
