Methodology: Guided by the Cultural Competence and Confidence Model, this grant-funded, longitudinal, one-group, pretest and posttest study used the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) to examine the effect of the Diverse Standardized Patient Simulation (DSPS) cultural competence education strategy on students¡¯ (n = 53) transcultural self-efficacy. Developed by following recommended guidelines and standards, the DSPS had content validity review. It aimed to improve students¡¯ knowledge, skills, and attitudes with regard to providing culturally competent nursing care. The statistical methods included t-tests, McNemar¡¯s test, correlation analyses, and Mann¨CWhitney U-test. Results: The DSPS influenced statistically significant changes (increase) in students¡¯ transcultural self-efficacy perceptions (p < .05). All students regardless of background benefited from formalized cultural competence education. Discussion: Evidence-based strategies such as the DSPS can offer a valuable guide for educators to foster cultural competence education %K cultural competence education %K cultural competence and confidence model %K CCC model %K educational intervention %K transcultural self-efficacy %K TSE %K Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool %K TSET %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1043659618817599
