摘要

全球化讓護理照護進入國際化的時代，護理人力的需求及護理人才的培育也要由國際的觀點進行思考，目前全球護理人力的短缺已造成護理人才遷移的現象，而醫療服務的國際化更凸顯護理人才國際觀培育的重要性。護理人才國際觀的培養重點，則須著重英語能力及跨文化溝通能力的培養。英語能力的培養可以減少護病溝通的障礙，提升外籍病患的醫療品質；跨文化溝通能力可以培養護理人才普世的價值觀及尊重文化差異的態度。這兩種能力的培養才能讓護理人才具備國際行動力，並增進臺灣對國際醫療社群的貢獻。

Nursing today is an occupation greatly influenced and shaped by global standards and internationally recognized standard practices and requirements. Therefore, cultivating nursing capital and ensuring nursing manpower requires an international perspective. Nursing migration is currently a popular approach used by many developed countries to address domestic shortfalls in nursing manpower. These international medical services have had a great impact on nursing education. Being able to communicate in English and to adapt transculturally have thus become increasingly important. Ability to communicate well in English is one effective way both to minimize nurse-patient misunderstandings and to increase the quality of care available to foreign patients. In addition, transcultural communication underscores the value of respecting cultural diversity. Fostering and enhancing these abilities will enhance and expand the role of Taiwanese nurses in the professional global movement and increase their contributions to the internal medical community.
