“…In the analysis conducted to determine the origin of the difference between the total score mean of the Xenophobia Scale and the grade they studied in our study, it was found that the mean score of the 4th-grade students was higher than the mean score of the first-grade students. According to Gungor et al similar to our study, the xenophobia levels of first-year undergraduate nursing students were lower compared to the second- and fourth-year students (Gungor et al, 2021). While in Karatas and Guzel’s studies, xenophobia did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups with different grades of education in terms of xenophobia level, in the study conducted by Ankarali et al, differences were observed in some questions, but not in others.…”

“…Therefore, as a result of the research, no study was found to compare these results among health students. According to Gungor et al in her work with nursing and vocational schools of health services students the xenophobia levels of nursing students were lower compared to the first-year vocational school students (Gungor et al, 2021). Karatas and Guzel’s study with university students, it was observed that the mean of those studying at the Faculty of Maritime was higher than the Faculty of Theology (Karataş & Güzel, 2020).…”

“…In addition, understanding the health care providers’ perceptions of health and illness and how they respond to them, as well as identifying their prejudices and habits that underlie their behaviors, is critical to promoting quality health care services (Claeys et al, 2021; Curtis et al, 2019). Despite an increase in recent years, studies conducted in this context are limited (Gungor et al, 2021; Sánchez-Ojeda et al, 2021). The findings of this study have a significant role in reviewing the efficiency of training curriculum and providing evidence on factors associated with the concepts of intercultural sensitivity, and xenophobia.…”

Introduction: Intercultural sensitivity and xenophobia levels of health education students can affect the care they give to the patient. It is important to know the level of intercultural sensitivity and xenophobia of students receiving health education and to determine the relationship between them. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between xenophobic attitudes and intercultural sensitivity among university students. Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional research was conducted in between January and June 2022 with health education students. The study conducted with health education students at Gumushane University and Agri Ibrahim Cecen University. Child Development, Nursing, Emergency Management Services/Technicians, Nutrition and Dietetics, Elderly care, Social services, Medical Laboratory Techniques, and Disabled Care studying at these universities were included in the study. Students who received health education and wanted to participate voluntarily in the study were included. Students aged 18 and over, studying in the health education department of the university, studying in the 1, 2, 3, 4th classes and volunteering to participate in the study were included in the study. The Introductory Information Form, the Xenophobia Scale, and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale were used to collect the research data. Results: This study was conducted with 789 students. According to our study, a significant negative correlation was found between the students’ xenophobia scale and the intercultural sensitivity scale total score means ( p < .05). Intercultural sensitivity has a negative and significant effect on the level of xenophobia (β = -0.116; t (787) = -3.283, p = .001). A significant difference was found between the students’ Xenophobia Scale total score mean and gender, department, and grade ( p < .05) as was the case between Intercultural Sensitivity Scale total score mean and gender, department, grade, immigrant acquaintance, and foreign language knowledge (English language) level ( p < .05). Discussion: Intercultural sensitivity has a negative and significant effect on the level of xenophobia. It can negatively affect the level of caregiving of students receiving health education. It is thought that intercultural sensitivity will be developed by including course content in the curriculum to increase students’ intercultural effectiveness and awareness levels and to reduce xenophobic prejudices.

“…Ayrıca öğrencilerin, kültürlerarası farkındalık ölçeği alt boyutunda en olumlu yanıtları hissedilen kültürel farkındalık alt boyutunda verdikleri görüldü (Tablo 2). Sağlık teknikeri ve hemşirelik bölümü öğrencileri üzerinde yapılmış olan bir araştırmada çalışma sonucumuzla paralel şekilde kültürlerarası farkındalık ölçeği alt boyutunda en olumlu yanıtların hissedilen kültürel farkındalık alt boyutunda olduğu belirlenmiştir (8). Hissedilen kültürel farkındalık alt boyutu farklı kültürlerde aile tanımı ve farklı etnik gruplara olan saygılı davranma gibi ifadeleri içermektedir.…”

The aim of the study was to examine the cultural awareness and xenophobia levels of health technician candidates studying in the health programs of a vocational school. The universe of the descriptive study consisted of all students enrolled in health programs in vocational schools (n=180). The research was completed with students (n=155) who were actively studying in the programs without making a sample selection. "Health Technician Candidate Information Form", "Intercultural Awareness Scale" and "Xenophobia Scale" were used as data collection tools. The analysis of the data was evaluated in a statistical program, and descriptive statistics, Independent-t Test and One Way ANOVA test were used. The students' cultural awareness levels were found to be 20.64±6.55 moderate levels, and their xenophobia levels were 51.86±12.73/high. In the study, it was determined that there was a significant relationship between the students who like to be together with people from different cultures and the cultural awareness scale (p<0.05). In the city where he studied; A significant correlation was found between the students who are not disturbed by the presence of immigrants/refugees and providing health care/service to them and the xenophobia scale mean score (p<0.05). In the study in which the relationship between students' cultural awareness levels and xenophobia was evaluated by correlation analysis, a negative and significant relationship was found (r=-0.025; p=0.002). As a result; It was determined that the cultural awareness of the health technician candidates was at a medium level and their xenophobia perception was at a high level.

AimsThis study aimed to examine differences in xenophobia, prosocial behavior tendency, and sociodemographic characteristics among nursing students.Materials & MethodsThe participants were 227 nursing students (29.1% male, 70.9% female) attending the nursing department in the spring semester of the 2019–2020 academic year. We used a personal identification form, xenophobia scale, and prosocial behavior tendency scale to collect the data.ResultsAmong the participants, 24.7% were in first year, 30.4% were in second year, 21.6% were in third year, and 23.3% were in fourth year. Female students had higher prosocial behavior disposition, altruistic, and submissive scores than their male counterparts. The second‐year students’ prosocial behavior scores were higher than those of the third‐year students. The male students’ hatred, humiliation, and xenophobia scores were higher than those of the female students.DiscussionThe xenophobia scores were higher in those with two living parents and lower in those whose mothers had secondary education. We used the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Shapiro–Wilk test, and graphical assessments to test the quantitative data's compliance with normal distribution. We also employed the Student's t‐test and one‐way analysis of variance for data showing a normal distribution and Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests for data showing non‐normal distribution. To evaluate the relationships among variables, we used the Pearson correlation analysis for normally distributed variables and Spearman's correlation analysis for non‐normally distributed variables.ConclusionWomen's prosocial behavior tendency total score was higher than men's, and men's xenophobia total score was higher than women's. There was a weak negative correlation between the positive behavior tendency and xenophobia total scores.
