Improvement Of Clinical Educator Competence Through The Development Of A Culture-Based Clinical Education Model With A Transcultural Nursing Approach

Abstract

Background: The character and quality of cultural competence which must be possessed by clinical nurse educators has not yet been formed, resulting in the ineffectiveness of clinical learning involving cultural aspects. Fulfilling the need for adjusting the competence of clinical nurse educators with cultural competence requires the implementation of the development of a culture-based clinical education model through a transcultural nursing theory approach. Aim: The aim of the research is to improve the competence of clinical educators through training in cultural-based clinical education modules with a transcultural nursing theory approach. Method: using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post-test control group design. A sample of 60 clinical educator nurses (30 interventions: 30 controls) uses 2 instruments which contain: 1) five clinical educator competencies (leadership, critical thinking, responsible, skill, and communication), and 2) clinical nurse educator competency achievement with transcultural nursing theory approach. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Rank Test and Mann Whitney. Result: The results showed that there was an increase in cultural-based clinical nurse educator competency attainment (p=0.0001). Conclusion: The development of a culture-based clinical education model with a transcultural nursing theory approach can improve the competence of culture-based clinical educators.
