“…That they were educated in a city in the Southeastern Anatolia Region, which contains the different cultures of Turkey and has the highest immigrant population, is thought to have contributed to this situation. As in this sample, today's developments and migrations reveal the necessity of people from different cultures to live together (22,23). As the diversity of the patient and caregiver population increases, healthcare providers need to care for patients with different cultural perspectives and values (24).…”

Aims: This study was conducted to determine the cultural humility levels of nursing students. Method: The descriptive study was carried out with nursing students in two universities located in the Southeastern Anatolia region, where immigrant population is dense, in Turkey. Results: A significant difference was found between the Cultural Humility scale mean scores of the students and their gender, nationality, mother language, experience of going abroad, desire to live in another country and enjoying spending time with people from different cultures (p<0.05). It was found that there was a positive correlation between the mean scores given by the students between 0-10 for the importance of cultural diversity in nursing education and the total score of the Cultural Humility Scale and the mean score of its sub-dimensions (p<0.01) Conclusion: This study contributed to the emergence of factors that affect and are related to Cultural Humility.

“…In other words, even our positions regarding social classes can be determined by our profession (Allen, 2001). In this respect, it is seen that individuals frequently resort to metaphors to strengthen their understanding of roles, events, phenomena, and experiences and be able to focus on certain qualities of facts (Kaya et al, 2013; Özveren et al, 2018; Yaman‐Aktas et al, 2016).…”

IntroductionMetaphors are one of the most effective linguistic tools that are used to reveal how society describes nursing and what their vision of nursing is and to understand how effective the roles and responsibilities assumed by nurses in a multidisciplinary healthcare team are in protecting and maintaining the health of individuals, families, and society.AimThe aim of this study was to reveal the perceptions of society about “nurses” through metaphors.MethodsThe study was planned with a mixed design involving qualitative and quantitative research methods. It was carried out with 810 people living in Turkey who were between the ages of 15 and 65 and voluntarily participated in the study. Each participant was asked to fill in the blanks in the sentence, “A nurse is like a/an………………because…………” The data were analyzed by using qualitative (content analysis) and quantitative (chi‐squared) data analysis methods.ResultsIt was determined that the participants produced 194 metaphors related to the concept of a “nurse.” It was observed that they frequently used metaphors of “angel,” “parent,” “doctor's assistant/right hand,” “lifesaver,” and “confidant” regarding the concept of nurse and conceptualized a nurse as “Beneficial/Helpful/Healer/Facilitator.”Conclusions and Clinical relevanceThe results showed that the awareness and perception of society toward nurses should be improved on the basis of the opportunity created by the COVID‐19 pandemic period, and the concepts should be introduced to younger generations in a wider framework under the leadership of nursing faculties.

“…In particular, nurses serve as a bridge in providing individuals with holistic care (Alligoog & Tomey, 2006; Andrews, 2016; Maier-Lorentz, 2008). Nurses have stated that beliefs and attitudes related to diseases and healthcare vary across different societies and that they may encounter problems in communicating with patients from different cultures while providing care (Yaman-Aktas et al, 2016). Studies on this subject have highlighted factors such as difficulty in communication, misunderstanding, and difficulties in providing care to different genders (Alshammari et al, 2019; Kaspar & Reddy, 2017).…”

BackgroundHealthcare professionals' “cultural prejudices” toward individuals' cultural beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions affect the care they provide. Their awareness of their bias is closely associated with the quality of healthcare provided.PurposeThis study was designed to assess nurses' perceptions regarding providing care to Syrian refugee patients using metaphors and to evaluate their views based on these metaphors.MethodsThe participants in this qualitative study consisted of 80 nurses who worked in Level 1 and Level 2 health institutions. Data were collected using an interview form prepared by the researchers. The form included descriptive characteristics of the nurses and two expressions used to determine the nurses' opinions on providing care for Syrian refugee patients. The nurses were given an incomplete sentence, which was “Providing care for a Syrian refugee patient…because…,” and were asked to complete the blanks. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method.ResultsOn the basis of “providing care for Syrian refugee patients,” four categories of metaphors were determined: occupational awareness, health promotion, a difficult process/resistance, and providing service in vain. The participants generated 50 metaphors, with “humanity,” “a baby/little child,” and “a barrier” as the three most used metaphors, belonging to the “occupational awareness” and “a difficult process/resistance” categories, respectively.Conclusions/Implications for PracticeThe metaphors of nurses regarding giving care to Syrian refugee patients were mostly concentrated in the categories of “occupational awareness” and “a difficult process/resistance.” Metaphors generated by the nurses offer a powerful research tool to reveal, understand, and explain nurses' personal perceptions and to develop and support nursing care accordingly. In addition, the subject of transcultural nursing should be discussed more extensively in nursing education programs. Understanding the social context of refugees is very important during the nursing care process.
