An Online Transverse Study of Nurse Leaders' Cultural Humility in Nursing Practice as Perceived by Hospital Nurses

Introduction: The term "cultural humility" is often used, but both society and professionals, including nurses, lack a clear understanding of its meaning. This study examined the relationships, predictors, and differences of nurse leaders' cultural humility in nursing practice, as perceived by hospital nurses.Methodology: A quantitative transverse and correlational study was implemented with a convenience sample of 350 Jordanian registered nurses (RNs).Results: Nurses "agreed" on the presence of nurse leaders' cultural humility in nursing practice, but it was low. Working rotating shifts, holding a Baccalaureate degree in nursing or less, and having graduated from a private university predicted the perceived nurse leaders' cultural humility in nursing practice. Most differences in perceived nurse leaders' cultural humility in nursing practice came from nurses who worked rotating shifts when compared to those who worked day shifts.Discussion: Nurse leaders must practice open communication and embrace a receptive mind-set, as this will help eradicate the tendency of nurse leaders to believe they know "know-it-all."
