Efficiency of the Bibliotherapy Method in Developing Cultural Intelligence and Competencies of Nurses

"In line with the Papadopoulos Tilki Taylor cultural competence development model used in the research, a training presentation titled overview and basic concepts of intercultural nursing will be held at the beginning of the intervention in order to increase the cultural knowledge levels of nurses. In order to test the effectiveness of the bibliotherapy method, training will be given online via Google Meet to both groups (both study and control) at the beginning of the research."

"The intervention consists of 1 online intercultural nursing training, 2 book and 2 short story reading activities and 1 film evaluation to be carried out over a 3-month period.~After the training, the nurses in the study group will be asked to read the introductions of the books on the reading list and choose 2 books that they feel close to and that they have not read before. Participants will complete readings and assignments (evaluation form, reflective thought essay) asynchronously in time periods convenient to them.~In addition to books, a supporting film will be used to raise awareness. At the end of the movie, they will be asked to write on their notes how they can relate to intercultural nursing, how they can behave when faced with similar situations, and what differences there are between their ideas about intercultural nursing before and after the movie."
