Özet

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effects of intercultural awareness, sensitivity, and competence on nursing students' disaster response self-efficacy. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used in the study, and data were collected online between May 15 and June 15, 2023, from 292 participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21, with a p<0.05 significance level. Results: The participants had a mean age of 21.34±1.91 years, with 79.1% being female. The mean scores for the Cultural Awareness Scale (CAS), Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS), Intercultural Competence Scale (ICS), and Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES) were 34.49±6.09, 88.01±12.41, 105.60±23.31, and 63.39±16.39, respectively. Multiple linear regression identified a significant model with variables such as age, gender, senior nursing student, income greater than expenses, being physically harmed in a disaster, desire to care for patients from different cultures, taking courses on intercultural nursing, and the ICS total score. This model explained 13.4% of the variance in DRSES. Conclusion: Intercultural competence has significantly influenced nursing students' disaster response self-efficacy.
