| Introduction: Bridging social capital and cultural intelligence impact nurses' attitudes towards patient education. The aim of this study was to study the relationship between bridging social capital and cultural intelligence, and nurses' attitudes toward patient education. Method: This is a descriptive-correlational study carried out with 200 nurses in western Azerbaijan in 2013. The multi-staged cluster sampling method was used to choose participants. The Katarzyna Pazhak bridging social capital scale, Ang and et al cultural intelligence scale, and nurses' attitudes towards patient education questionnaire were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Statistical significance defined as p<0.05. Results: A positive relationship was found between nurses' attitudes towards patient education and bridging social capital variable (r=0.379, p=0.002), subscale of meta- cognition of cultural intelligence (r=0.584, p=0.001) subscale of cognition of cultural intelligence (r=0.412, p=0.001), subscale of motivation of cultural intelligence (r=0.605, p=0.001) and subscale of behavior of cultural intelligence (r=0.675, p=0.001). The results of multi-variable correlation coefficient using the input method indicated that bridging social capital and subscale of cultural intelligence explain nurses' attitudes towards patient education (R2=0.526). Conclusion: Patient education is the main responsibilities of nurses. Since positive and significant relationships were found between bridging social capital and subscale of cultural intelligence with patient education, there is a need to strengthen them in nurses through group training. |
