Abstract

Kültürel yeterliğe sahip olan sağlık profesyonelleri, sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesini iyileştirmede önemlidir. Birinci basamak sağlık hizmetlerinde multidisipliner ekibin kültürel yeterliliğini değerlendiren bir ölçüm aracının literatürdeki eksikliği dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Perng ve Watson (2012) tarafından geliştirilen Hemşire Kültürel Yeterlilik Ölçeği’ni uyarlayarak Birinci Basamak Sağlık Çalışanları için Kültürel Yeterlilik Ölçeği (BBSÇ-KYÖ) geliştirmek ve Türkiye’de birinci basamak sağlık profesyonellerinin kültürel yeterliliğini etkileyen çeşitli faktörleri incelemektir. Bu çalışmaya aile hekimi, aile sağlığı hemşiresi ve Toplum Sağlığı Merkezi’nde çalışan sağlık profesyonelleri olmak üzere 231 sağlık profesyoneli katılmıştır. Yürütülen madde analizinde maddelerin toplam puanla olan korelasyonlarının .60 ile .82 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda toplam varyansın %73.5'ini açıklayan üç faktörlü bir yapı ortaya çıkmıştır. BBSÇ-KYÖ'nün 1-8 maddeleri “Kültürel Beceri”, 9-16 maddeleri “Kültürel Bilgi” ve 17- 20 maddeleri “Kültürel Duyarlılık” olarak isimlendirilen faktörler altında yer almıştır. Cronbach Alpha katsayıları toplam puan için .84, faktörler için ise sırasıyla .78, .76 ve .87 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayırt edici geçerlik için katılımcıların deneyimleri gruplandırılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Farklı bir dil konuşabilen, farklı kültürden arkadaş ve komşuyla daha sık iletişime geçen ve farklı kültürlere yönelik hizmet vermeyle ilgili eğitim alan birinci basamak sağlık profesyonellerinin kültürel yeterliliğinin daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Bunların yanı sıra, göçmenler ve mültecilerle çalışmaktan memnun olduğunu belirten tüm birinci basamak sağlık profesyonellerinin BBSÇ-KYÖ puanlarının belirgin derecede yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, BBSÇ-KYÖ’nün birinci basamak sağlık çalışanlarının kültürel yeterliliğini değerlendirmede kullanılabilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca ölçek, bireye, aileye ve topluma sağlık hizmet sunumu gerçekleştiren tüm profesyoneller için de klinik alanda kullanıma uygundur.

Developing a Cultural Competency Scale for Primary Health Care Professionals

Abstract

Culturally competent healthcare professionals are important in improving the quality of health care. The lack of a measurement tool in the literature that evaluates the cultural competence of the multidisciplinary team in primary health care is noteworthy. The aim of this study is to develop a Primary Health Care Professionals’ Cultural Competency Scale (PHCP-CCS) by adapting the Nurse Cultural Competency Scale (NCCS) developed by Perng and Watson (2012), and to examine the various factors affecting cultural competency in Turkey. A total of 231 health professionals, including family doctors, family health nurses and community health professionals, participated in this study. In the item analysis, the correlations of the items with the total score varied between .60 and 82. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure that explained 73.5% of total variance. Items 1-8 of the PHCP-CCS were included under the heading “Cultural Skills,” items 9-16 under “Cultural Knowledge” and items 17-20 under “Cultural Sensitivity.” Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for the overall scale was .84 and was calculated as .78, .76 and .87 for the respective factors. The experiences of the participants were grouped and compared for discriminant validity. It was found that being able to speak different languages, having contact with friends and neighbors from different cultures, and being educated about serving people from various cultures increased the cultural competency of primary health professionals. In addition, the PHCP-CCS scores of all the primary health professionals who were happy to be working with migrants and refugees were considerably higher. The results show that PHCP-CCS is a measurement tool that can be used to determine cultural competency among primary health care workers. In addition, the scale is also suitable for use in the clinical field for all professionals providing health services to the individual, families and the community.
