Diversity characteristics and the experiences of nursing students during clinical placements: A qualitative study of student, faculty and supervisors’ views

The context, influences and challenges for undergraduate nurse clinical education: Continuing the dialogue

“…Revision _UG_Clinical Education 9 require attention to clinical placement design and delivery (Koch et al 2014). Understandably, in this drive to increase 'quantity' it is debated whether sufficient attention has, will or can be given to the 'quality' of clinical education ( In contrast, in models of student supervision where the education institution provides the student supervisor, for example clinical facilitator models, other issues arise.…”

Improved Health in Ethnically/Culturally Diverse Patients through Enhanced Cultural Competency in Nurse Wellness Outcomes Educators

“…Debrew et al (2014) and Koch et al (2014) mention that language and communication differences are particularly troubling in the clinical setting where healthcare workers may use an "insider language" (Debrew et al, 2014, p. 152) that may be specific to the institution. Cantwell et al (2015) mention that creating a supportive and caring environment for those nursing students with language differences is beneficial.…”

“…However, preparing nursing students from diverse ethnic/cultural backgrounds to successfully complete their program of study is seen as a barrier to increasing the number of diverse nurses in the global workforce, due to reasons such as: lack of support and possible lower levels of preparation (Arieli & Hirschfeld, 2013;Batykefer Evans, 2013;Brooks Carthon et al, 2014;Cantwell et al, 2015;Davis et al, 2010;Igbo et al, 2011;West et al, 2010), language and communication difficulties (Arieli & Hirschfeld, 2013;Bednarz et al, 2010;Brooks Carthon et al, 2014;Debrew et al, 2014;Greenberg, 2013;Hansen & Beaver, 2012;Igbo et al, 2011;Junious et al, 2010;Koch et al, 2014;Torregosa et al, 2015), feelings of prejudice or isolation (Arieli & Hirschfeld, 2013;Beard, 2013;Bednarz et al, 2010;Brooks Carthon et al, 2014;Carter et al, 2015;Condon et al, 2013;Debrew et al, 2014;Morton-Miller, 2013;Robinson, 2013;Veal et al, 2012), feelings of the need to act like members of the hegemonic culture (Debrew et al, 2014;Morton-Miller, 2013), lack of role modeling (Beard, 2013;Bednarz et al, 2010;Carter et al, 2015) and lack of faculty support (Ackerman-Barger, 2010;Baker, 2010;…”

“…A review of the recent literature reveals that the quandary of caring for diverse populations has been studied in many countries, including: Australia (Allen, Brown, Duff, Nesbitt & Hepner, 2013;Koch, Everett, Phillips, & Davidson, 2014;West, Usher, & Foster, 2010), Canada (Gregory, Harrowing, Lee, Doolittle, & O'Sullivan, 2010;Stansfield & Browne, 2013), Cyprus (Vasiliou et al, 2010), Israel (Arieli & Hirschfeld, 2013;Arieli, Mashiach, Hirschfeld, & Friedman, 2012;Noble, A., Nuszen, Rom, & Noble, L., 2014), New Zealand (Caldwell, Lu, & Harding, 2010), Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Faeroe Islands and Denmark (Bohman & Borglin, 2013;Westerbotn et al, 2015), Taiwan (Perng & Watson, 2012), Thailand (Songwathana, 2013), the United Kingdom (McClimens et al, 2014), and the United States (Abrums, Resnick & Irving, 2010;Batykefer Evans, 2013;Beard 2013Beard , 2014Cantwell, Napierkowski, Gundersen, & Naqvi, 2015;Condon et al, 2013;Dapremont, 2014;Debrew et al, 2014;Dewald, 2012;Dudas, 2012;Dunagan, Kimble, Sweat Gunby, & Andrews, 2014;Fulbright Sumpter & Brooks Carthon, 2011;Greenberg, 2013;Harris et al, 2013;Jeffreys & Dogan, 2012;Junious, Malecha, Tart, & Young, 2010;…”

“…While the issues of recruiting and graduating increased numbers of diverse nursing students must be resolved, it is also imperative to simultaneously increase the cultural competency of all nursing students (Allen et al, 2013;Arieli et al, 2012;Bohman & Borglin, 2014;Campinha-Bacote, 2011;Carter et al 2015;Debrew et al, 2014;Dudas, 2012;Dunagan et al, 2014;Esposito, 2013;Fulbright Sumpter & Brooks Carthon, 2011;Gallagher & Polanin, 2015;Gregory et al, 2010;Harris et al, 2013;Jeffreys & Dogan, 2012;Kardong-Edgren et al, 2010;Kirkpatrick, Esterhuizen, Jesse, & Brown, 2015;Koch et al, 2014;Koskinen et al, 2012;Lim et al, 2015;Long, 2012;Mayo et al, 2014;McClimens et al, 2014;Mesler, 2014;Mixer, 2011;Mixer et al, 2013;Noble et al, 2014;Perng & Watson, 2012;Starr, Shattell, & Gonzales, 2011;Strong & Folse, 2015;Westerbotn et al, 2015) across the board; because at this juncture, there is an insufficient number of ethnically/culturally diverse nursing students in many countries (Baker, 2010;Brooks Carthon et al, 2014;Cantwell et al, 2015;Carter et al, 2015;Chandler & Swanston, 2012;…”
