“…This study revealed that the participants displayed a moderate to high level of intercultural sensitivity, as well as Interaction Engagement, Respect for Cultural Differences, Interaction Confidence, Interaction Enjoyment, and Interaction Attentiveness, respectively, which is generally consistent with the findings in the reviewed literature [22,23,25]. The respondents were generally (much) delighted and satisfied in interacting with people from different cultures, and able to respond positively to their interactants' messages and adapt to specific situations, as discussed in [34].…”

“…[21] validated the 24-item Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) which covers five dimensions: Interaction Engagement, Respect for Cultural Differences, Interaction Confidence, Interaction Enjoyment, and Interaction Attentiveness. The scale has been extensively utilized to distinguish individuals in various culturally different contexts [5,6,16,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. These studies have generally revealed that intercultural sensitivity is a significant predictor of ICC, that individuals' respect for different cultures improves with the degree of their engagement in intercultural interactions, and that various factors such as education, proficiency in the target language, motivation, and study-abroad experience increase intercultural sensitivity.…”

This study investigated the effects of learner variables on Chinese bilingual undergraduates’ intercultural sensitivity and effectiveness. A total of 439 students from different universities answered a battery of questionnaires. Major findings were: (a) the participants reported a moderate to high level of intercultural sensitivity and a moderate level of intercultural effectiveness; (b) no significant gender difference occurred in intercultural sensitivity and effectiveness, except for Interaction Engagement and Respect for Cultural Differences; (c) intercultural sensitivity and effectiveness were significantly positively related to and predicted each other; (d) confidence in learning English, self-efficacy in learning English and English classroom anxiety significantly predicted students’ intercultural sensitivity; and (e) English classroom anxiety, English learning motivation, and self-efficacy in learning English significantly predicted students’ intercultural effectiveness. Based on these findings, a path model was constructed which explains the relations among affect, intercultural communication sensitivity, effectiveness and competence.

“…Another study of the cultural sensitivity of students in health-related departments found that year of study did not affect cultural sensitivity (Aslan et al, 2019). A study of the cultural sensitivities of nursing students found that being a first year nursing student increased intercultural sensitivity (Baksi et al, 2019). Another study of the intercultural sensitivity and their empathy levels of nursing students found no statistically significant difference in the students' mean ISS scores by year of study (Egelı̇oğlu Cetı̇şlı̇ et al, 2016).…”

Objective: Knowing about intercultural sensitivity and xenophobia benefits nursing and midwifery students by helping them to provide high quality care. This study aims to examine the cultural sensitivity of nursing and midwifery students and its relationship with xenophobia. Method:In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, 486 nursing and midwifery students completed the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS), the Xenophobia Scale (XS) and the Xenophobia Scale-TR (XS-TR). In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H and Spearman's correlation tests were used.Results: Students' total ISS score average is 79.31 ± 7.20; the average XS score is 45.64 ± 11.18 and the total XS-TR score average is 48.98 ± 13.89. There was found a negative correlation between total ISS, Respect for Cultural Differences, interaction confidence and interaction enjoyment, and total XS-TR; a positive correlation between all types of ISS scores and XS-TR humiliation. In addition, a negative correlation was found between the total ISS, Respect for Differences and Appreciation and XS-TR Hate. Additionally, a negative correlation between the Enjoyment of ISS and XS-TR Fear (p <0.05). Conclusion:Nursing and midwifery students have moderate cultural sensitivity and low level of xenophobia while providing health services. The students were cognitively aware of their cultural differences and those of others, but they did not internalize them effectively enough and tended to evaluate events and experiences in terms of their own culture. ÖZAmaç: Kültürlerarası duyarlılık ve zenofobi konusunda yeterli bilgiye sahip olmak hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin nitelikli bakım verebilmelerine katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin kültürel duyarlılıklarını ve zenofobi ile ilişkisini incelenmektir.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmada, 486 hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencisinden Kültürlerarası Duyarlılık Ölçeği (KDÖ), Yabancı Düşmanlığı Ölçeği (YDÖ) ve Yabancı Düşmanlığı Ölçeği-TR (YDÖ-TR) kulalnılarak veri toplanmıştır.Verilerin analizinde tanımlayacı istatistikler, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H ve Spearman korelasyon testlerinden yararlanılmıştır.Bulgular: KDÖ farklılıklara saygı duyma, etkileşimde özgüven ve zevk alma ile ZÖ toplam arasında negatif yönde; KDÖ tüm puan türleri ile ZÖ aşağılama arasında pozitif yönde ilişki görülmüştür. Ayrıca KDÖ toplam, farklılıklara saygı duyma ve zevk alma ile ZÖ nefret arasında negatif yönde ilişki bulunmuştur. KDÖ zevk alma ile ZÖ korku arasında da negatif yönde ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0.05).Sonuç: Hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin sağlık hizmetlerini sunarken orta derecede kültürel duyarlılığa ve düşük seviyede yabancı düşmanlığı tutumuna sahip oldukları söylenebilir. Öğrencilerin kendisinin ve diğerlerinin kültürel farklılıklarının bilişsel olarak farkında olduklarını ancak duyuşsal açıdan yeterince içselleştirmediklerini, olayları, yaşantıları daha çok kendi kültürleri ekseninde değerlendirme eğiliminde oldukları söy...

“…To provide quality health care, it is vital to evaluate individuals with a holistic perspective and to provide care in line with cultural needs. Ethnocentrism and xenophobia levels of nurses are among the factors affecting care planning in line with cultural needs (Baksi et al, 2019). As far as we know, there is no study that determines the relationship between ethnocentrism and xenophobia levels of Turkish nurses.…”

Determining the ethnocentrism and xenophobia levels of nurses contributes to nurses' awareness regarding their attitudes on the issue and providing quality care. This descriptive and correlational study aimed to determine the relationship between ethnocentrism and xenophobia levels of nurses working in hospitals located in two different border regions where refugees live intensively in Turkey. The study was conducted with 386 nurses who were working in two different hospitals located in two cities in the south of Turkey. Data were collected using the “Personal Information Form,” “Ethnocentrism Scale,” and “Xenophobia Scale.” About half of the nurses did not want to care for foreign patients. There was a positive and statistically significant relationship between mean scores of the Ethnocentrism Scale and the Xenophobia Scale (p < 0.05). The regression analysis indicated that the level of ethnocentrism explains the level of xenophobia by 9%. Nurses had a high level of xenophobia and moderate ethnocentric attitudes. The level of xenophobia increased as the ethnocentrism level of nurses increased. It is recommended to conduct further studies to determine different predictors of xenophobia among nurses.
