Book The Effect of Cross cultural Training on Cross cultural Skills  Adjustment  and Performance in a Transcultural Nursing Context

Download or read book The Effect of Cross cultural Training on Cross cultural Skills Adjustment and Performance in a Transcultural Nursing Context written by Sharon Nancy Leiba and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effects of information-based versus experientially-based cross-cultural (C/C) training programs on the adjustment and performance of nurses in a domestic transcultural nursing context. Mediating and moderating constructs were derived from the international C/C management literature and Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986). Mediating constructs include the nurse's C/C self-efficacy regarding (1) the effective application of her cultural knowledge (hypothesized to mediate the relationship between C/C training rigor & C/C adjustment) and (2) her ability to perform interactive nursing activities with culturally-different patients (hypothesized to mediate the relationship between C/C training rigor & C/C performance). Moderating constructs include perceptual flexibility (i.e., tolerance for the particular kind of ambiguity that is posed by transcultural situations; hypothesized to moderate the relationship between C/C training rigor & each type of C/C self-efficacy), cultural-distance (i.e., between nurses and their patients hypothesized to moderate the relationship between each type of C/C self-efficacy & its corresponding outcome of C/C adjustment or performance), and intensity of interaction (i.e., frequency and breadth of the interactions required by nurses with patients of diverse medical conditions; also hypothesized to moderate the relationship between each type of C/C self-efficacy & its corresponding outcome of C/C adjustment or performance). These relationships were examined via a quasi-experimental cross-sectional design in 9 Toronto hospitals. Subjects (148 staff nurses & their supervisors) completed questionnaires with reliable measures that tapped into the constructs of interest. Self & supervisor performance appraisals were sought. Results partially supported the hypothesized model. Theoretical implications included: (1) the positive effect of C/C training on C/C performance generalizes to a domestic C/C context; (2) the positive effect of C/C training on C/C adjustment does not generalize to an environmentally-turbulent, domestic C/C context; (3) C/C skills may be effectively operationalized in the form of C/C self-efficacy; (4) these two operationalizations of C/C self-efficacy are differentially related to C/C training and performance; (5) prior C/C exposure facilitates transfer of training insofar as the exposure is contextually similar to the work environment; and (6) perceptual flexibility is significantly correlated to C/C adjustment and performance but does not impede learning. The key practical implication is that C/C training can improve nurses' C/C performance.

Book excerpt: Document from the year 2012 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, Humboldt-University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: The number of Western expatriates in China is growing; however, the rate of expatriate failure remains very high. Many multinational enterprises are now providing their expatriates with cross-cultural training (CCT), which many studies suggest is an effective way to improve expatriates’ intercultural competence and their work performance overseas. This study attempts to develop an optimal methodology for CCT in China, based on review of the literature and empirical data of five semi-structured interviews. A seven-step model is developed, and each step is examined for its effectiveness and applicability in a Chinese context. Ultimately, the final model is presented in the Research Summary, and its implications are discussed in detail.

This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Nursing Science - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: The Nursing profession has been established as one of the dynamic and evolving fields that involve interactions with healthcare professionals and patients from diverse backgrounds. This target can only be achieved when nurses are trained on attending to all patients equally without prejudice and working in a multicultural society without any discrimination. This should begin from the core units where nurses are getting trained, especially in medical schools early enough so that when they finally get to work, they have the capacity to handle and work across different cultures and diverse backgrounds while maintaining respect for everyone regardless of the existing differences between them. In this regard, this paper seeks to conduct a critical literature review on the importance of cultural competence in the nursing profession.

Book Let   s Learn Together  Let   s Work Together

Download or read book Let s Learn Together Let s Work Together written by Kathleen Markey and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores some of the global challenges and possible solutions for transcultural health and social care, and includes a selection of papers that were presented at the 2nd European Transcultural Nursing Association International Conference, in June 2011. This collection explores some of the challenges and possible solutions from the perspectives of various countries regarding promoting transcultural health and social care, including Ireland, Turkey, Strasbourg, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Sweden and Australia. As outlined in the papers included, the provision of transculturally competent care is challenging and requires knowledgeable, skilled and culturally sensitive health and social care professionals. The delivery of culturally competent care requires a commitment from health and social care services, professionals working within these services, and institutes of education responsible for educating healthcare professionals to understand and be responsive to the needs of culturally diverse patients. Learned behaviour and deeply rooted values must be challenged to address unwitting prejudices and stereotyping. Attention should focus on creating an environment of trust where critical reflection occurs, blame is avoided, risk managed and new ideas developed, tested and evaluated.

Book Handbook of Intercultural Training

Download or read book Handbook of Intercultural Training written by Dan Landis and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Intercultural Training, Volume II: Issues in Training Methodology is a major attempt to describe, critique, and summarize the major known ways to provide cross-cultural training. The collection of essays discusses the stresses of intercultural encounter, as well as how to reduce these. This volume is divided in two parts. The first part discusses context factors, including stress factors in intercultural relations and aspects of organization effectiveness. A cross-cultural experience from the perspective of a program manager is presented, as well as a situational analysis and designing a translator-based training program where alternative designs are forwarded for trainers to use effectively in multicultural and multilingual environments. The second part presents different methods of training. Learning from sojourners and from individuals from various cultures results in different frameworks for interpreting cross-cultural interactions. Consultants, advisors, and experts may find themselves performing outside and beyond their home ground and social groups, so training programs pertaining to their particular situation need to be addressed more profoundly. The training program in race relations by the U.S. Department of Defense is reviewed, and the effects of stereotyping people are discussed and considered as other factors in the preparation of training programs. English is then examined as a tool for intercultural communication, where aspects of intercultural training should be integrated. This book is suitable for overseas workers, foreign students, foreign technical advisers, diplomats, immigrants, and many others who are going to live and work and be exposed to other cultures.
