| Abstract |
This study was done to identify the association with cultural disposition and multicultural environmental sensitivity in nursing college students. Data were collected by questionnaires from 217 nursing college students in P city. The data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The results were as follow : The multicultural environmental sensitivity correlated positively with vertical group(r = .175, p = .010), horizontal group(r = .335, p < .001) and horizontal individual(r = .272, p < .001) in cultural disposition. The multicultural environmental sensitivity was statistically different to experience overseas trip (t = 2.89, p = .004), foreign friend (t = 4.66, p < .001) and foreign language ability (t = 4.20, p < .001). The factors influencing multicultural environmental sensitivity in participants were horizontal group disposition, foreign friend and foreign language ability (R2 = 21.5). After multicultural education, the multicultural environmental sensitivity of participants was increased significantly (paired t = -2.68, p = .008). In conclusion, it is necessary to improve global multicultural capacity of nursing college students through multicultural education and experience focused on personalized cultural disposition. |
