Summary:碩士 === 臺北醫學大學 === 護理學研究所 === 102 === Cross-sectional survey method was used to exam the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Intercultural Sensitivity Scale. Cultural sensitivity and related factors among hospital nurses were also examed. A total of 170 valid questionnaires were completed by nurses working at a hospital in Taipei. Study questionnaire included (1) personal characteristics; (2) The Chinese version ISS which was originally developed in English by Chen and Starosta (2000). SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis. Satisfactory reliability of The Chinese version ISS was supported by Conbach’s alpha coefficient being .894. The range of expert validity for items in The Chinese version ISS is between .83 and 1, which shows an acceptable validity. The average score of hospital nurses’ cultural sensitivity of 87.15(SD=9.939), shows that hospital nurses have good intercultural sensitivity. Language ability, particularly in English and multi-cultural experiences are the two factors that shows related to levels of cultural sensitivity in nurses.
