What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Intercultural Sensitivity Scale and Personel Questions
The scale was developed by Chen and Starosta and was adapted to Turkish in 2010. It consists of twenty-four items and includes five emotional dimensions necessary to measure intercultural sensitivity. The scale has five dimensions: responsibility in communication, respect for cultural differences, self-confidence in communication, enjoying communication, and being careful in communication. The scale has a 5-point Likert-type rating. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of sensitivity increases. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was determined as 0.90.
Measured: Pre-test (Before the training)
