Factors That Influence Critical Care Nurses' Intentions to Provide Culturally Congruent Care to Arab Muslims

North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among critical care nurses' attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions to provide culturally congruent care to Arab Muslims. The provision of culturally congruent care is contingent on understanding nurses' motivational influences for providing culture care. Significant relationships among critical care nurses' behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs, intentions, and demographic variables supported the need for culture-specific debriefing sessions, underscored the importance of collaborative practice and interdisciplinary learning models, and established an evidence-based foundation for the design of culturally informed approaches to nursing education and service.

Key Words: attitude • subjective norm • perceived behavioral control • intention • culturally congruent care • Arab • Muslim
