The scale will be administered immediately before and after the educational intervention. The difference in scores will indicate the impact of the creative drama-based training grounded in Leininger's Transcultural Nursing Theory.

This scale assesses communication skills, emotional resilience, and cultural flexibility in cross-cultural interactions. The test will be administered immediately before and after the intervention.
