Abstract

The study was to investigate the multicultural attitude of nursing students and non-nursing major students. And it was explored influencing factors related with it. This study was used a descriptive comparative designed. Data were collected 3 universities in D city in from Nov. to Dec. in 2012. After receiving the agreement, 309 nursing students and 195 non-nursing major students were recruited. They were asked to fill in a self-reported questionnaire about multicultural attitude. The Korean version Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire (MASQUE) was used. Cronbach's alpha were .85. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0. The mean score of multicultural attitude was 4.44 of 6 points(73%) in all participants. Nursing students' multicultural attitudes scores were equal to other college students'. The factors related to multicultural attitude were the experiences of having foreigner friends, going abroad, attending multicultural events, and contacting multicultural contents. The students who have cared foreign patients were not higher than others in nursing students group(t=.30, p=.76). For nursing students contacting foreigners in clinical practice, it doesn't make a differnce in multicultural attitude. The culturally empowering programs were needed for nursing students to improve multicultural attitudes.

간호학전공 대학생들과 타전공 대학생들의 다문화에 대한 태도를 비교하고, 관련된 요인을 파악하고자 시도되었으며 서술적 비교연구로 설계되었다. 자료수집은 D시의 3개의 대학교에서 2012년 11-12월에 수집되었으며, 연구참여에 동의한 309명의 간호대학생들과 195명의 타전공 대학생들이 참여하였다. Munroe의 도구를 강혜정이 한국형으로 수정보완 한 The Korean version Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire(MASQUE)가 사용되었다. 도구의 신뢰도는 .85로 나타났으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0프로그램을 이용하여 분석되었고 참여자 전체의 다문화 태도 평균은 6점만점에 4.44점으로 나타났다. 간호학생들의 다문화태도는 일반전공 대학생들과 차이가 없었지만 간호학생들과 일반 대학생들 각각 그룹별로 세부변수들이 어떻게 다른지를 비교해 본 결과 차이가 나타났다. 외국인 친구가 있는 경우, 일주일이상 해외에 나가 본 경우, 다문화관련 행사참여 경험이 있는 경우, 다문화관련 책이나 방송영화를 접해본 적이 있는 경우, 그리고 다문화관련 강의를 수강할 의사가 있는 경우 다문화태도는 더 높게 나타났다. 일반대학생들이 외국인 응대경험이 있는 경우 다문화태도 점수가 높게 나타났던(t=2.85, p=.00) 반면, 간호학생은 외국인 응대경험과 상관없이 다문화 태도에는 차이를 나타내지 않았다(t=.30, p=.76). 이는 간호학생들이 임상실습경험을 하여 외국인과의 접촉하게 될 기회가 많지만 이러한 형태의 실습 중 만남이 긍정적 다문화 태도 형성으로 이어지지 않는 것으로 생각된다. 간호대학생의 다문화태도를 증진시키기 위해서는 더욱 적극적인 다문화태도 증진 프로그램이 요구됨을 확인하였다.
