The cultural attitudes of nurses and the analysis of the interactive relation between the nurse and the patient

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study is carried out to determine the effects of nurses’ cultural approach on the patient care, to reveal the relation between the nurse and the patient, and to determine the factors that affect this relation. This study is a cross-sectional descriptive research. 300 participants of the study were nurses working at a hospital from 8am to 5 pm. Multicultural attitude scale and care oriented nurse-patient interaction scale were used to obtain data that was collected between March and June 2016. To analyse the data, descriptive statistics and independence t-test corelation are used. The attitudes and behaviors of the nurses concerning care oriented nurse-patient interaction are positive (significance is 297.4±56.9, sufficiency is 284.8±60.7, and practicality is 281.3±70.7); however, it is found out that the cultural attitudes of the nurses are not positive. The relation between total sufficiency and practicality points of curing oriented nurse-patient interaction scale and multiculturalism attitude scale are evaluated as positive and medium level (r: 0.248, p<0.05, r:0.302, p<0.05).
