Objective Structural Clinical Examinations can be Used to Assess Clinical Nursing Cultural Competence Abilities.

Abstract Background: Culture is the adhesive that binds people's lives. However, there is a lack of an objective and useful tool for assessing cultural competence and practice. The purpose of this study were to assess the learning efficacy of nurses after completing the Cultural Competence Cultivation Program using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used to evaluate nurses working at a medical center in Taiwan. The nurses were randomly allocated into an experimental group (N = 47), which underwent the Cultural Competence Cultivation Program, and a control group (N = 50), which did not partake in an educational program. After the intervention, the nurses’ learning efficacy was assessed using an OSCE. The research data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software for Windows. Results: The average score of the experimental group was significantly higher in the “communication ability and skill” category. Furthermore, the OSCE scores, Standardized Patient Survey (SPS) scores and overall SPS scores were significantly and positively correlated.Conclusion: The findings of this study can serve as a reference for the design of future clinical education programs.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of a teaching model to improve cultural competency (TMCC) for Korean undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest/posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted with a convenience sample of 168 undergraduate nursing students in South Korea. The experimental group of 121 seniors was taught a 13-week teaching model in order to improve cultural competence. A control group with 47 junior students underwent nursing major courses, but did not take this teaching model. Before and after the program, students' level of cultural competency was measured using the Questionnaire for Cultural Competence (QCC) consisting of three sub-scales: "awareness and desire," "encounter," and "nursing skill and knowledge." Results: After the experiment, the experimental group showed significantly higher improvement in the Questionnaire for Cultural Competence in the three sub-scales of "awareness and desire," "encounter," and "nursing skill and knowledge" than the control group (p=<.050). Conclusion: A teaching model to improve cultural competence was effective in improving Korean undergraduate nursing students' cultural competency. Further studies need to be repeated in order to identify the effectiveness of the teaching model to improve cultural competency with graduate or clinical nurses.

This paper reports on the effectiveness of Interactive Reading Comprehension Teaching (IRCT) in improving the oral English communication ability of Prince of Songkla University (PSU) undergraduates. It is based on a pre- and post-test quasi-experimental study employing IRCT, composed of self–study reading assignments and a structured peer-teaching project. The participants who were purposively sampled to partake in the study included 105 second- and third-year undergraduates from various faculties who were enrolled in a functional reading course, of which 46 was assigned to the control group and 49 was treated as the experimental group. One-on-one and group oral assessments were administered to both groups at the end of the course after IRCT implementation. The results showed IRCT had a very positive effect on the oral communication skills of the students in the experimental group, significantly improving their confidence and motivation toward speaking English. The students’ opinions from a questionnaire also revealed high speaking improvement, reinforced by evidence from close observations, interviews, and student work samples. IRCT was, therefore recommended as a reading-based approach to improving students’ oral English communication.
