What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Better and Effective Nursing Education for Improving Transcultural Nursing Skills Cultural Competence and Cultural Sensitivity (BENEFITS-CCCS) Scale
This scale was developed by researchers from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Spain, and Türkiye in the project Better and Effective Nursing Education for Improving Transcultural Nursing Skills (BENEFITS) to evaluate the effectiveness of cultural competence training in nursing students. The scale has 26 items across five subdimensions: Respect for Cultural Diversity (6 items), Culturally Sensitive Communication (4 items), Achieving Cultural Competence (3 items), Challenges and Barriers in Providing Culturally Competent Care (5 items), and Perceived Meaning of Cultural Care (8 items). Items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale (1 for Definitely Disagree to 7 for Definitely Agree). The possible total score ranges from 26 to 182. The scale Cronbachs alpha is 0.82.
Measured: At baseline, 15 minutes before the first class, students were informed about the BENEFITS-CCC Scale, and the survey was administered. The scale was re-applied 15 minutes before the final class ended, following the completion of the 14-week curriculum
