A study on the relation between multicultural experience, perception, and acceptance among nursing students

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the multicultural experience, perception, and acceptance of nursing students. Methods: A descriptive study design was used. Data were collected in April 2021 through an online survey of 111 nursing students. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 25.0. Results: The mean scores of multicultural experience, perception, and acceptance in nursing students were 3.22±0.65, 3.43±0.25, and 3.87±0.32, respectively. Multicultural experience showed significant positive correlation with multicultural perception and acceptance. Multicultural perception also positively correlated with multicultural acceptance. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated a need for continuous efforts and strategies to enhance the multicultural acceptance of nursing students through increasing their levels of multicultural experience and perception. We propose a further exploratory study on a wide range of factors affecting multicultural acceptance.
