Self-reported cultural competence among Czech and Slovakian nurses: A comparative correlation study
Original language description
Aim: This study aimed to compare the level of cultural competence among nurses working in clinical practice in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Background: Demographic changes have greatly affected the health sector in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. By identifying the level of nurses’ cultural competence, many of the complications encountered in caring for patients from different cultures can be avoided. However, few studies have explored the cultural competence of nurses in clinical practice in these countries. Method: This study was cross-sectional, descriptive, and comparative. It followed the STROBE checklist and used the Cultural Competence Assessment Tool questionnaire to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were utilized for data analysis, using SASD 1.5.8 and IBM SPSS Statistics version 28.0.0. Results: The sample comprised 424 nurses, with 202 from the Czech Republic and 222 from Slovakia, primarily female. Most nurses in both countries have not received cultural diversity training. Nevertheless, nurses in both countries indicate the necessity of conducting a cultural impact assessment of patients’ health. Cultural diversity training significantly increases the level of cultural competence in nurses. Discussion: Lower cultural competence scores can negatively impact nursing care for patients from different cultures, leading to additional cultural challenges. Implications for nursing and health policy: The findings highlight the need for enhanced cultural competence among nurses. Nurses need to learn and utilize cultural information to help maximize healthcare for patients from different cultures. By providing nurses with cultural knowledge and skills, they will be able to deliver more effective and culturally competent care to patients from varied cultural backgrounds.
