Abstract

Five doctoral nursing students and their faculty traveled to St. Kitts and Nevis for a study abroad experience to apply research skills outside of a classroom setting as part of a disaster preparedness elective course. Nursing students reflected on their perspectives of conducting a mixed-methods research study in another country. Each student reported positive benefits from the experience, particularly emphasizing the importance of face-to-face mentorship in doing actual research as a part of doctoral studies to supplement research methods learned in online courses. Students also acknowledged challenges and learning opportunities within their experience. International mentored research projects can assist graduate nursing students through the transition from student to independent researcher. The authors believe these types of intensive research experiences should be encouraged and supported within nursing education.

Summary

Introduction

The faculty adapted riculum, seasoned research faculty to mentor students, an the course to provide the graduate students with applied reinstitutional commitment to doctoral education, and struc- search experience as part of their study abroad experience. This study expanded upon a cline and will not be sufficient to replenish or sustain the similar assessment that was completed in Haiti.[10] Nursing needed workforce.[2] According to a report on the status of students and a professor from the UNCO joined forces with doctoral education, a downward trend in the number of PhD public health, medicine, and nursing faculty and students enrollments has resulted in a 9.6% decline since 2014, while from the UIC, creating an interdisciplinary research team of the enrollment of DNP students has risen by 752%.[3] The nine students and three faculty
