FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp.105-110. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322013000200009.
Introduction. The training of future nurses will have to produce professionals who are competent to face the uncertainties and complexities generated by cultural diversity. Nursing care includes respect and critical reflection on the ideas and values arising from the dialogue generated throughout the therapeutic relationship. The objective of this study was to assess the change of the module 'Nursing and Multiculturalism' in modifying third level nursing students' attitudes towards immigration in the students that were enrolled. Subjects and methods. To evaluate the attitude of the students we used the Attitude Scale towards immigration for nursing (EAIE). A paired sample was employed, drawn from the 33 third year nursing students enrolled in the optional module 'nursing and multiculturalism' by comparing scores achieved in the scale towards immigration before and after attending the module. In order to estimate the significance of the different rates pre- and post-test, a non-parametric test for paired samples (Wilcoxon signed rank test) was used, both for global rating and for each of the item in the EAIE questionnaire. Results. The individual analysis of the items shows that the total 39 items, seven presented significant differences (p < 0.05) in the initial and final measurements. Conclusion. Nursing enculturation experienced during basic education, positively influences students in making conscious their attitudes towards immigration.
