Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Cultural Competence Assessment Scale (CCAS)
The CCAS assesses cultural competence in four dimensions-cultural awareness, knowledge, sensitivity, and practice-each with 10 items. A total score is obtained by summing the scores from all sub-dimensions. If the score from cultural awareness is below 5, the person is classified as having "Cultural Inadequacy," regardless of other scores. A total score of 40 across all dimensions indicates "Cultural Competence." If the cultural awareness score is 5 or more and all of the first four items in the knowledge, sensitivity, and practice sub-dimensions are answered correctly, the level is defined as "Cultural Security." If the awareness score is 5 or more but there are incorrect answers among the first four items in the other sub-dimensions, the level is considered "Cultural Awareness."

- Masking Details
- Due to the nature of the study, it is impossible to blind the researcher implementing the intervention and the participants. A pre-test will be administered before randomization to prevent bias in the study. The study's data collection and statistical process are planned to be blinded. The assignment of students to the intervention and control groups will be made by a statistician independent of the study. The researcher and the students will not know which group they are in until the application begins. After administering the follow-up tests, the independent researcher will code the data as groups A and B and transfer it to SPSS. With this method, the statistician plans to perform analysis and reporting without knowing which group is the intervention group and which is the control group. The codes of the groups are intended to be disclosed after the analysis and reporting of the data. In this way, detection bias, statistical bias, and reporting bias will be prevented.
