“…Many studies have shown that communication and language barrier are among the most common problems in caring for foreign patients (Dotevall et al 2018; Luque et al 2018; Sevinç 2018). For example, it was reported in one study that problem occuring between Iraqi patients and US military nurses was due to communication and social and cultural variables (Goodman et al 2015). In another study, it was reported that a Swedish nursing student was often fearful of making mistakes when communicating in crosscultural care encounters (Jirwe et al 2010).…”

“…The data collection tool comprised student information and open‐ended question forms. The student information form covered questions regarding the sociodemographic characteristics of students, such as age, gender and class, whereas the open‐ended question form was developed by the authors on the basis of the literature (Douglas et al 2014; Goodman et al 2015; Tezel 2015; Table 1) and evaluated by two field experts in the development of questionnaires.…”

Background Nursing students should gain cultural knowledge and skills necessary for providing care to all types of patients. Aim This study aimed to determine problems faced by nursing students who care for refugee patients. Method The study used phenomenological qualitative design. The sample comprised 25 nursing students who cared for refugee patients in a clinic. Data were analysed using Colaizzi’s seven‐step method following focus group interviews. Results Two themes were identified for the interviews: (i) language barrier: insufficient care and (ii) students’ perspectives on being a refugee. Furthermore, three subthemes were also identified by analysis of the interviews: (i) superficial communication and insufficiency in psychological support, (ii) health problems in difficult living conditions and (iii) unchanged basic human needs and unmet care needs. Conclusions Nursing students find it difficult to care for refugee patients, but nursing education programmes based on culture care improve their knowledge and perceptions and the quality of care they provide to patients from different cultures. Implication for nursing and health policy In a multicultural society, nursing students must recognize cultural differences. Consequently, a multicultural education programme helps lay the groundwork for successful integration of nursing students in new cultures.

“…Developed nations can improve healthcare for Muslims by observing the modesty and privacy requirements of Muslim women and paying special attention to the diet and gender restrictions of the patient (Goodman et al, 2015). In addition, providing space for prayers and serving permissible food also encourages Muslims to seek care (Tackett et al, 2018).…”

Despite being nearly a quarter of the population, Muslim communities’ unique healthcare needs are largely unmet. In this literature review, we highlight the largely unsatisfied and growing healthcare needs of Muslims by examining the unique illnesses that Muslims are commonly susceptible to because of their religious or socioeconomic conditions. We examine their vulnerability to diabetes, vitamin D deficiency, and vaccine-preventable illnesses. We also analyze the numerous healthcare barriers present in developing, Muslim-majority countries and in developed countries in the West. Drawing from published studies, we emphasize the importance of government investment in healthcare and cultural awareness in health workers to address barriers and ensure Muslims’ equitable access to care. We explore the complexities of healthcare access and delivery for Muslims, particularly in contexts where religious practices intersect with medical requirements. We also highlight gaps in current research, urging further investigation into unexplored areas such as broad, global studies and the involvement of religious leaders in Muslim communities.

“…As nurses provide health services to individuals from different cultures (Douglas et al, 2011), they may encounter differences in ethnic origin, communication style and health‐related behaviours (Cicolini et al, 2015; Goodman et al, 2015). Nurses need to provide appropriate nursing care, taking into account the differences they face.…”

AimTurkey is on the transit route of immigrants as it is located between countries where poverty and wars are intense and European countries. Therefore, there are countless immigrants from different countries in Turkey. Migrations affect every sector, especially the health sector. The aim of this study was to determine how cultural awareness of nurses, who are the cornerstone of the health system, affects brain drain and xenophobia. The problem of health care is not only on the agenda of immigrants, but also on the agenda of health service providers in their countries due to economic and working conditions.DesignThis research was designed as descriptive and relationship‐seeking.MethodsThe data of the research were collected through Google Forms between December 5 and 26, 2022. A total of 231 nurses working in a public hospital in south‐east Turkey participated in the study. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics as well as reliability, t‐test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis.ResultsIt was determined that the attitudes of the participants towards brain drain were moderate, their cultural awareness was low and their xenophobic attitudes were high. In addition, it was determined that 44% of the change in the total score obtained from the intercultural awareness scale was explained by the scores obtained from the xenophobia and brain drain scales.ConclusionsIn this context, it may be possible to reduce xenophobic attitudes by giving intercultural awareness trainings to nurses. In addition, it is important to provide working conditions and economic support by health policy makers to prevent the brain drain of nurses.ImpactNurses may need to provide care for individuals from different cultures due to the regions in which they live. For this reason increasing their cultural awareness and reducing xenophobia may ensure that they provide improved care to their patients.
