Özet
Introduction: Increasing cultural diversity requires effective educational strategies to support nursing students’ cultural awareness and readiness for culturally competent practice. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used. Forty-three fourth-year nursing students completed a single-group pre-test/post-test study without a control group using the Cultural Competence Assessment Tool. Four weekly sessions were delivered. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 students and analyzed inductively. Results: Post-test cultural awareness and total cultural competence scores were higher than pre-test scores (both p < .001; dz = 1.07 and dz = 0.67). Self-assessment scores increased in awareness and cultural sensitivity, whereas no significant change was found in self-assessed cultural practice. Qualitative findings highlighted language barriers, limited cultural knowledge, and the method’s concise, awareness-raising nature. Discussion: Pecha Kucha appears to function mainly as a reflective, awareness-oriented pedagogical approach that supports readiness for culturally competent practice, rather than as an intervention producing immediate behavioral competence.
