Abstract

This study was a descriptive research that attempted to provide the basis for improving cultural competence by identifying the effect of multicultural awareness and cultural empathy on the cultural competence of nursing students. The subjects were nursing students from grades 1 to 4 who were enrolled in two nursing colleges in Gwangju and Chonnam. The data were collected from September to December 2018. The 201 data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 25.0 for windows. Multicultural awareness(r=.451, p<.01) and cultural empathy(r=.582, p<.01) had high positive correlations with cultural competence. The factors that affected the cultural competence were cultural empathy(β=.422, p<.001) and multicultural awareness(β=.222, p<.001) order. The explanatory power of these factors was 40.5%. These findings suggest that in order to promote the cultural competence of nursing students, strategies to promote multicultural awareness and cultural empathy should be developed, and these strategies should focus more on cultural empathy than on multicultural awareness.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 다문화 인식과 문화적 공감이 문화적 역량에 미치는 영향을 확인하여 문화적 역량을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 광주와 전남 지역에 소재한 2개의 간호대학에 재학 중인 1학년에서 4학년까지의 학생을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 2018년 9월부터 12월까지 수집하였으며, 분석을 위해 총 201명의 자료를 사용하였다. 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS 25.0 program을 이용하여 기술적 통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson 상관계수, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 간호대학생의 다문화 인식((r=.451, p<.01)과 문화적 공감(r=.582, p<.01)은 문화적 역량에 유의하게 높은 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 간호대학생의 문화적 역량에 영향을 미치는 요인은 문화적 공감(β=.422, p<.001), 다문화 인식(β=.222, p<.001) 순으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 요인의 설명력은 40.5%로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 간호대학생의 문화적 역량을 증진시키기 위해서는 다문화 인식과 문화적 공감을 높이기 위한 다양한 방안들이 적극적으로 개발되어야 하며, 이러한 방안을 개발할 때 다문화 인식보다는 문화적 공감에 더 중점을 두어야 함을 시사한다.
