Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of a short-term, study away experience on the confidence and biases of baccalaureate nursing students in performing general transcultural nursing skills. Design: A qualitative descriptive design was used, including reflective journal entries (n=15). Findings: Three themes emerged: transforming attitudes, making a difference, and outrage at healthcare disparities. Conclusions: Students expressed both a desire and a need to incorporate their new knowledge into their personal and professional lives. Implications for Practice: Short-term, study away experiences are more accessible than study abroad for larger numbers of students, while yielding meaningful results.
