Abstract

This study was conducted in order to examine the effects of humanistic knowledge and empathy ability on cultural competence of nursing students. A convenience sample of 250 nursing students were recruited. The average scores were 2.50 for humanistic knowledge, 3.40 for empathy ability, and 3.33 for cultural competence. Humanistic knowledge had positive correlation with cultural competence. Also, the empathy ability was positively correlated with humanistic knowledge and cultural competence. Finally, cultural competence, empathy ability and level of academic score have shown to influence cultural competence. The research founds that humanistic knowledge, empathy ability and level of academic score influenced cultural competence of nursing students. Therefore, this study provides the basic information for improving the curriculum and quality of nursing for nursing students' cultural competency enhancement.

본 연구는 인문학적 소양과 공감능력이 간호학생의 문화적 역량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 G시의 간호대학생 250명으로 편의표집하였다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성, 인문학적 소양, 공감능력, 문화적 역량의 정도를 측정하였고, 일반적 특성에 따른 인문학적 소양, 공감능력, 문화적 역량 정도를 측정하였다. 평균 인문학적 소양 정도는 2.50점, 공감능력 평균 3.40점, 문화적 역량 평균 3.33점으로 나타났다. 인문학적 소양과 공감능력, 인문학적 소양과 문화적 역량, 공감능력과 문화적 역량도 약한 양의 상관관계로 나타났다. 학업성적, 인문학적 소양, 공감능력은 문화적 역량에 영향을 미치는 유의한 예측인자로, 예측인자는 문화적 역량 변인을 40.0% 설명하였다. 본 연구는 인문학적 소양과 공감능력을 강화하는 교육 프로그램을 통해 문화적 역량을 증진시키려는 노력이 필요하며 교육과정 개선 및 간호의 질 향상을 위한 기초자료로 제공할 수 있음을 보여주었다.
