Treatment and study plan

Cultural Competence Training Program

Behavioral

A four-week behavioral educational program designed to improve nurses' cultural competence, based on Tanrıverdi's Environment-Oriented Cultural Competence Model. The program involves interactive lectures, case discussions, and reflection-based exercises focused on culturally competent care practices. Educational program is still developing, so it can be changed.

Primary outcomes

Change in Nurses' Cultural Competence Score

Time frame: Baseline (Pre-test, Week 0) and after completion of the 4-week training (Post-test, Week 4)

The primary outcome will be the change in nurses' cultural competence levels before and after the training intervention. Cultural competence will be measured using the Nurse Cultural Competence Scale (NCCS), which assesses awareness, knowledge, sensitivity, and skills related to culturally competent care.
