“…For pre-nursing students, experiential learning that increases cultural awareness can include study-abroad trips. It is well documented that study-abroad trips have the potential to promote cultural safety in nursing students (Gilliland, Attridge, Attridge, Maize, & McNeill, 2016); Mkandawire-Valhmu & Doering, 2012). Furthermore, it is equally important that school administrators attempt to place students in clinical settings where they can engage with individuals from diverse backgrounds.…”

Enhancing cultural safety among undergraduate nursing students through watching documentaries

et al. 2018

The purpose of the study was to develop an understanding of how nursing students gained perspective on nursing care of diverse populations through watching documentaries in a cultural diversity course. The basis of this paper is our analyses of students’ written responses and reactions to documentaries viewed in class. The guiding theoretical frameworks for the course content and the study included postcolonial feminism, Foucauldian thought, and cultural safety. Krathwohl's Taxonomy of the Affective Domain was used to identify themes and determine how undergraduate nursing students were progressing in achieving learning outcomes. Our findings suggest that while the use of documentaries serves as a tool for deepening students’ understanding of the realities of various populations, this activity, in the absence of critical reflection, may inadvertently promote stereotypes and further marginalize different people groups. Even though nursing students reflected on the importance of cultural safety in nursing, our findings indicate that their actions may not reflect this, especially since these students are in the early stages of the nursing program. Students need to be provided with a space where they can explore implicit biases evoked by exposure to new information about different people groups as a way of enhancing culturally safe care.

“…The ethical guidelines have been reviewed and now include the ethical ideals of global health (ICN, 2021 ). A study by Gilliland et al ( 2016 ) focuses on nursing integrity and how exchange students get the experience of being confronted by their own values and prejudices in a different society, and also how they come across routines of care and treatment that are different from what they are used to. The experience of having your own values challenged is highlighted by Meaux et al ( 2021 ).…”

Aim The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the experience of Norwegian bachelor nursing students during clinical placement in an African country, with a focus on communication, relationship building and nurse identity. Design Explorative, qualitative methods were used. Methods The data consisted of individual written reflection notes from 8 students' clinical placement in Africa, and transcripts from one semi‐structured focus group interview. The materials were analysed with systematic text condensation. Results The students described their experience with the community of practice as challenging and enlightening. They found themselves in contexts where communication and language problems occurred. The students described how important relationships were for their practical training, and how this helped shape their nursing identity.
