The development and implementation of residency programs, including a cultural competence curriculum, could support this transition. This study aimed to evaluate the preliminary effects of a hybrid learning module of cultural competence for NGNs. A quasi-experimental design was used in a 3,000-bed hospital in North Taiwan. We randomly allocated 37 NGNs to the experimental and control groups.

We evaluated the correlations between learning time and cultural competence scores using a paired t -test, chi-square test, and Mann–Whitney test for statistical analysis.
