Abstract
Purpose: This study examined the impacts of multicultural awareness and cultural competence on the multicultural attitudes of nursing students. Results: The average level of multicultural awareness, cultural competence, and multicultural attitude was 3.70 (.43), 3.55(.43), and 3.89(.52), respectively. There was a significant difference in foreign ability in the case of having experience or acquaintance with multiculturalism. Multicultural awareness had a normal relationship with cultural competency (r=.61, p<.001) and multicultural attitudes (r=.64, p<.001), and cultural competency had a multicultural attitude (r=.65, p<.001). The factors influencing multicultural attitudes were cultural competence (β=.41, p<.001) and multicultural awareness (β=.39, p<.001). These variables explained approximately 52% of the total variance of multicultural attitude. Conclusion: These results suggest that education and various activity programs need to be developed to increase nursing students awareness and attitudes toward multiculturalism.
