Background: Nurse educators must be equipped to teach diverse students using culturally sensitive and inclusive nursing education (CSINE). The purpose of this study was to explore associate degree nurse educators' perceptions on implementing CSINE. Method: This was a descriptive exploratory study. Associate degree nurse educators in a midwestern state completed an open-ended question survey that included dichotomous response questions to help participants self-reflect and respond. Follow-up interviews added further depth to the findings. Results: Four major categories emerged that helped answer the research questions: personalize approaches, consider resources, promote cultural diversity broadly, and use active teaching methods and strategies. In addition, participants provided descriptive comments about beginning benefits and outcomes of CSINE and gaining needed education regarding CSINE. Conclusion: Participants indicated that learning about CSINE was an ongoing and necessary process for nurse educators. Categories emerging from the data provide guidance for educators in developing and sharing CSINE educational resources to promote positive outcomes for students and their patients.

AimThe aim of this study was to explore how non‐nurses and nurses differ regarding the perceived images and expected roles of Indonesian nurses.DesignA cross‐sectional survey studyMethodsAn online tool shared via email was used to collect data in March 2014, from a convenient sample of 1,228 employees of a private university located in Karawaci, Indonesia. An English/Indonesian version of the survey was developed: 19 perception items and 19 expectation items using a 5‐point Likert scale. Independent sample t tests were used to compare groups.ResultsOne hundred and forty‐three people completed the survey; a response rate of 11.6%. Thirteen were nurses and 130 were non‐nurses. Compared with nurses, non‐nurses were less likely to agree with statements that Indonesian nurses are self‐sacrificing, provide help to others, are devoted to caring, perform housekeeping duties and are knowledgeable. Monitoring nurses' image on a regular basis is essential. A public education campaign could focus on selected positive characteristics to improve the image of Indonesian nurses.

Background Global nursing shortages require effective recruitment strategies and understanding of individuals’ motivations to enter the profession. These can be complex and bound by numerous factors such as gender and culture. While much research around this has been conducted, little has been undertaken in non-Western cultures where motivations could be different. Aim To explore Indonesian nurses’ and nursing students’ motivations for entering the nursing profession. Design Online survey with closed and open-ended questions drawn from two different studies. This paper reports findings from one similar open-ended question. Methods As part of two larger surveys, nurses from 13 hospitals across one private health care group and nursing students with clinical experienced enrolled in a baccalaureate nursing program in Indonesia were asked the question, Why do you want to be a nurse? Responses were translated into English and back-translated into Indonesian prior to being subjected to summative content analysis. Results In total, 1351 nurses and 400 students provided responses to the question, representing 98.72% and 99.70% respectively of those completing the survey. Both groups were primarily influenced by desire to serve others and God, personal calling and influence of family members and others. Nurses identified a desire to work in the health field and with the sick, in a noble and caring profession. Conclusions Nurses and nursing students were motivated by traditional perspectives on nursing. These should be considered in future recruitment activities. However, more research is needed to understand how these factors influence career choice.
