Abstract
Introduction: Cultural diversity among nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia poses problems in communication management to ensure optimal patient care. This study explored and described the perceptions of communication among nurses in a culturally diverse workforce.
Methodology: A qualitative approach was used; a sample of seventeen (n=17) nurses was purposively selected. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six steps of thematic qualitative analysis.
Results: Key themes were (1) nurses' perceptions of communication in a culturally diverse workforce, (2) barriers to communication in a culturally diverse workforce, and (3) facilitators of effective communication in a culturally diverse workforce.
Discussion: Nurses have recognized the importance of communicating in a culturally diverse environment to provide optimal care. Strategies such as cultural competence training, open communication forums, and mentorship programs are recommended to improve cross-cultural understanding and collaboration in care teams.
