Abstract

Objective: In the context of multicultural communication, hospitals are in urgent need of high-quality medical staff with intercultural competence to cope with the increasingly complex patient needs. This study aimed to assess the current status of transcultural self-efficacy among medical students in a medical school in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, and to provide a reference for the development of a targeted transcultural training program between the medical school and the teaching department of the hospital. Methods: The Chinese version of the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) was utilized to survey 187 medical students in internship. Results: The transcultural self-efficacy of medical students in internship was found to be moderately low, with the mean score of the practice dimension being the lowest. The lack of a systematic intercultural curriculum, insufficient faculty intercultural knowledge, and insufficient transcultural experience of medical students in internship, along with their personal perception differences, were the main factors affecting the transcultural self-efficacy. Conclusion: Medical school and hospital administrators should increase the transcultural teaching content, enhance teachers’ multicultural concepts, and guide medical students in internship to recognize themselves correctly and avoid complacency.
