Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to enhance students' cultural competence through a service–learning project in a community clinic. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design. Twenty-six nursing students volunteered either in the comparison or in the experimental group. The students in the experimental group significantly increased their cultural knowledge (Z = −2.51, p = .01) and the total score of cultural competence (Z = −2.07, p = .04).
