| Summary: | Introduction
The aim of the article is diagnosing components of intercultural competences in
students of nursing in graduate studies.
Material and Methods
Method – a diagnostic survey. The sampling involved 100% of graduate
students of 1st and 2nd year, The Nursing Collegium Mazovia Innovative University, Siedlce
Results
Students define culture as values, beliefs, norms guiding human thinking and activity.
More than half indicate that the image of different culture is taken from ones’ learning process
and own experience. Lack of knowledge is a factor that hinders relationships between a nurse
and the sick person. Care has been defined as understanding and support, whereas empathy as
understanding through the prism of culture and values. Few people use the model of transcultural
nursing. Contact with a person from a different cultural background provides them with openness
and understanding. The results were compared with the findings of the research conducted by
Cucumber-Rainbow, Kaminska, Matusiak, Skupnik, 2011; Zdziebło et al., 2014a, 2014b; Majda,
Zalewska-Puchała, 2011.
Conclusions
The study confirmed the hypothesis about intercultural competencies in students
of nursing, but cultural knowledge, recognition of cultural differences, knowledge of language are
only some competences that can provide transcultural care. |
