Abstract:
The cross-cultural sensitivity scale (ISS) and the self-made cross-cultural communication Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) professional ability test were used to investigate the ability of 151 young and middle-aged doctors (under 45 years old) in Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Chinese Medicine. SPSS 21.0 was used to describe the statistics of the questionnaire data. ANOVA was used to analyze the factors that affected the capability, and Pearson to analyze the relevance of the internal structure of this capability. The final score of the test was 3.73±0.54 points (5 points in total). The capability of spreading TCM of young and middle-aged doctors had a significant positive correlation with their individual professional background, English language proficiency, and oversea experience ( P<0.05). The result showed that the correlation among 5 dimensions of cross-cultural sensitivity was significant, and there was a significant correlation between cross-cultural sensitivity and professional competence to spread TCM ( r>0.5, P<0.01). The young and middle-aged doctors in this hospital had an overall high score in this survey, and it was necessary to improve interaction enjoyment and strengthen professional English training. When selecting relevant talents, it should be noted that those with educational background of TCM and integrated TCM and western medicine were more suitable as workers to spread TCM. Educational background, English ability, and relevant experience showed a significant impact on capability to spread TCM. It was recommended to carry out quantitative testing of the capability to spread TCM of young and middle-aged doctors widely. When selecting talents for cross-cultural spreading of TCM, attention should be paid on factors that related to the capability.
