    Cultural Sensitivity of Nurses to Transcultural Patients*

    Jehan D. Gadugdug, M.A.N.

    Abstract

    The main purpose of the study was to determine the cultural sensitivity of nurses towards transcultural patients. Participants in the study were seventyseven (77) nurses purposively selected on the basis of their exposure in taking care of transcultural patients. The respondents were categorized as locally employed nurses, nurses working abroad and private duty nurses. Using the Cultural Competence Health Practitioner Assessment (CCHPA), findings revealed that majority of the respondents acquired the knowledge and skills related to cultural competence between 2 and 6 years. The top five nationalities with whom the respondents are familiar with in terms of cultural aspect of health care delivery are American (96.10%), Canadian (35.06%), Chinese (28.57%), British (24.68%) and Japanese (23.38%). They claimed that they can communicate better to English speaking patients. Furthermore, the respondents show fairly well sensitivity on transcultural patients in terms of values and belief system and sometimes sensitivity in terms of clinical decision making. Based on the gathered data, there was no significant difference in the cultural sensitivity of nurses based on their category and length of service.
