Cross-cultural nursing. A report of faculty collaboration through regional networking.

Healthcare environments increasingly are becoming culturally diverse. A project to incorporate multicultural issues in curricula, identify cross-cultural student learning opportunities, and increase faculty skills in teaching transcultural concepts is described. Through regional networking, faculty members identified barriers to teaching cross-cultural concepts and strategies to address those barriers. Recommendations call for proactive approaches for sharing resources to strengthen cultural dimensions in schools of nursing, particularly in rural areas that lack cultural diversity.

Evaluation study of a transcultural discovery learning model.

This qualitative, descriptive study explored the extent to which students' discovery learning centered around cultural understanding and sensitivity occurs in a clinical rotation involving migrant health care. Thirteen nursing students enrolled in this community health clinical rotation were the study sample. Demographically, they were similar to other baccalaureate students in the school of nursing. Characteristics that set them apart were their levels of maturity, motivation, and independence, and their ability to cope with stress and ambiguity. Student journal entries were used to explore changes in cultural understanding and sensitivity over the course of an intensive six-week clinical experience. The method of inquiry was qualitative descriptive. Discovery learning from the perspective of the students was analyzed using domain analysis scheme. Themes that emerged from analysis of the data were personal and professional growth, specialized nursing practice roles with ethnic minorities, and health care system needs and issues for culturally sensitive care. Our findings contribute to faculty understanding of the degree to which student nurses make a transformation in terms of cultural understanding and sensitivity, and the process by which increased cultural understanding and sensitivity result in application of theoretical transcultural concepts.

A cross‐cultural comparison of the implications of self‐disclosure on conversational logics∗

Theorists dealing with the relationship between communication and culture confront the dilemma of trying to describe communication as culture‐laden without making statements which are themselves not so culture‐laden as to be mere ethnocentric expressions. One way of coping with the dilemma is to use “transcultural concepts”; as defined by Kang and Pearce. “Logical force,”; a concept derived from the theory of “the coordinated management of meaning,”; is proposed as a useful transcultural concept and tested in a cross‐cultural comparison. High and low levels of self‐disclosure were manipulated in a simulated conversation in which North American and Chinese subjects were asked to role‐play and subsequently describe. Obtained differences between conditions and between cultures in the logical force described as impinging on their response to the self‐disclosing messages were understood as descriptions of the differences between the cultures. The configuration of linkages within the logical force measures are ...
