摘要

Background

The surge in international exchanges and immigration has significantly increased the demand for culturally competent healthcare providers.

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a cultural care training program on the cultural competency and self-efficacy of healthcare providers in Jiroft, Iran.

Methods

This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pretest-posttest design but with no control group. Sixty-five eligible participants were selected through a convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Cultural Care Inventory, and the Cultural Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) before and after a cultural care training program during four 2-hour sessions per week. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20, including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and paired t-test.

Results

The total mean cultural competency score significantly increased from 89.05 ± 12.30 to 217.16 ± 12.09. Similarly, the total mean cultural self-efficacy score rose significantly from 83.53 ± 4.95 to 105.7 ± 7.24. Paired t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in cultural competence (p = 0.001, t= -65.99) and cultural self-efficacy scores (p = 0.001, t = -47.03).

Conclusions

The results of this study suggest that implementing various training programs can effectively enhance the cultural competency and self-efficacy of healthcare providers.
