Satuito, J.C., Climaco, M.T. & Cerbito, A.F. (2025). Assessing the impact of community-based education on practical skills acquisition among nursing students: The role of cultural competence training. Journal of Allied Health Sciences & Medical Research, 1(4), 95-112. https://doi.org/10.53378/jahsmr.353301

Nursing is central to the healthcare system, particularly within frameworks that prioritize community-centered care. In the Philippines, the evolution of nursing education has led to the integration of community-based education (CBE) as an essential element of the curriculum. This study explores how community-based education influences the practical skills of nursing students, with a particular focus on the potential mediating role of cultural competence training (CCT). A descriptive correlational framework was employed to analyze the influence of CBE on the acquisition of practical skills, with CCT assessed as a mediating variable. Mediation analysis utilizing Hayes’ PROCESS Model 4 was conducted to evaluate the indirect influence of CBE on practical skills via CCT. Students recognized the importance of cultural competence training in preparing them to work with patients from diverse backgrounds, and it was generally well-received. Statistical analysis showed that students who had more community experiences developed more practical skills, and this relationship was further strengthened by cultural competence training. Community-based education significantly predicted cultural competence training (B = 0.581, p < .001) and practical skills acquisition (B = 0.5718, p < .001). CCT also significantly predicted practical skills (B = 0.2951, p < .001). Mediation analysis confirmed a significant direct effect of CBE (B = 0.5718) and a significant indirect effect through CCT (B = 0.1714), indicating partial mediation. These results suggest that CBE enhances students’ practical competencies both directly and indirectly by fostering cultural competence.
