he changing cultural dynamics of the population in the
United States requires the provision of transcultural care.
A mixed methods study design utilizing the Provider’s Guide
to Quality and Culture Quiz from Management Sciences
for Health (2006) was completed to determine the level of
confidence accelerated BSN students have in their ability
to care for culturally diverse patients. Students participated
in a didactic classroom experience focused on transcultural
care and the impact on patient health outcomes. Of the 30
accelerated BSN students who participated in the classroom
experience, 13 participated in the study. Results showed that
the students’ level of confidence ranged from30-92 on a scale
where one equals no confidence and 100 equals complete
confidence. Quiz results demonstrated that 69% of post quiz
scores improved or stayed the same after the lecture, while
30.7% scored lower on the post quiz. Themes that emerged
include education for understanding of self and other
cultures, and the provision of care in a respectful, culturally
aware manner. The accelerated BSN students have unique
needs that must be considered when planning transcultural
care education.
