“…Many reports on health-related study abroad in different disciplines, particularly in nursing, describe benefits to participants in regards to cultural self-efficacy, [5,12] cultural self-awareness and sensitivity, [3,7,12] development of a global or multicultural perspective, [4,6,13,14] personal development, [4,7,15–18] and increased cultural competence. [6,12] Programs report beneficial outcomes from study abroad periods as short as one [14] or two weeks, [5,12,13] or as long as 12 weeks. [4,7,15] Health-related study abroad programs, however, generally lack specific curricula designed to support intercultural competency development while abroad, [3–5,7,12,13,16,17] although some programs include culturally specific information.…”

Objective Short-term international health-related study abroad seminars for health-professions students are increasingly popular because of a focus in higher education on global awareness and intercultural competency. This study describes a study abroad strategy to teach students intercultural communication skills and knowledge, and evaluated the effectiveness of a 3-week health-related study abroad program and intercultural competency curriculum in increasing skills and knowledge of health-profession students. Methods This was a mixed methods study, with a pretest-posttest, within-subjects design, and content analysis of student reflection journals. The curriculum was designed to increase students’ sensitivity to different cultural worldviews and support attitudes such as curiosity and openness that lead to relational abilities such as flexibility and adaptability. Students completed the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) and Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES) both 3 months prior to and immediately following the trip. Means and standard deviations were calculated and a paired t-test was performed. Results Qualitative analysis of students’ reflections presented evidence of developing awareness of their own cultural worldview, openness to Indian culture, and the use of skills to develop intercultural competence. There was a non-statistically significant improvement in ISS and IES scores. Conclusions Students’ reflections demonstrated personal growth through the acquisition of knowledge and skills needed for further intercultural competence development. Students indicated that the curriculum helped them make meaning out of their experiences. Short-term health-related study abroad seminars may help students develop self-awareness and cultural openness by providing theoretically based curriculum before departure and while in the host country, including structured reflections and cultural mentoring, engagement with locals, and a balance of challenge with support.

“…Cultural immersion has also been used in schools of nursing to increase levels of cultural competence and to encourage students' development of cultural sensitivity and awareness (Caffrey, Neander, Markle, & Stewart, 2005;Frisch, 1990;Greatrex-White, 2007;Green, Johansson, Rosser, Tengnah, & Segrott, 2008;Koskinen et al, 2009;Larson, Ott, & Miles, 2010;Maltby & Abrams, 2009;Pross, 2005;Ruddock & Turner, 2007;Wilborn, 2000).…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between attitudes of prejudice and cultural competence among nursing students. Using a mixed-methods design, a convenience sample of students (N = 129) currently enrolled in a baccalaureate nursing program was recruited via Web networking. Data regarding attitudes of prejudice, cultural competence, prior cultural experience, and integration of cultural competence were obtained via a Web-based survey. Multiple linear regression was used to predict cultural knowledge, attitudes, and consciousness. Although all three regression models were statistically significant, the significant predictors varied within each model. Greater prejudice was a significant predictor of less culturally competent attitudes toward providing nursing care. Existing prejudice among nursing students needs to be addressed to help promote positive cultural attitudes and, ultimately, cultural competent nursing care.

“…Being seen as different and "out of the loop" of understanding, both as a nursing student and as having EAL, influence the learning environment and are part of how students resign themselves to a way of relating to the transition to professional practice as fearful outsiders. The trepidation of nursing students is amplified by the culture of assimilation expected in health care (Choi, 2005;Tregunno, Peters, Campbell, & Gordon, 2009;Pross, 2005). Further, when we hear stories from the perspectives of those working as UNEs or HCAs, or those with EAL, it is apparent that health care efficiencies are only further isolating these students and putting them in situations where they are morally conflicted (Austin, Lemermeyer, Goldberg, Bergum, & Johnson, 2008) by their diverse social locations between roles and identities.…”
