“…Because of being at the bedside during the dying process, nurses are able to assess, identify and respond in a systematic way to patient and family fears (both existential and practical) about dying and the inevitability of death (Adams, Bailey, Anderson, & Docherty, 2011;Huang, Yates & Prior, 2009;Leung & Esplen, 2008). However, just what nurses do to identify and help manage death anxiety in older immigrants of CALD backgrounds hospitalised for EOL care is unknown.…”

“…Researchers involved in the efforts that cross paths with cultural practices of human subjects must be aware of the potential impact as well as the challenges these will pose to the research process. According to Huang, Yates and Prior [2], culture, which refers to practiced values, beliefs, and ways of life, influences behavioral practices of certain groups in a society.…”

Cultural sensitivity provides one of the foundations for a successful clinical research within tribal communities. Researchers involved in the efforts that cross paths with cultural practices of human subjects must be aware of the potential impact as well as the challenges these will pose to the clinical research process. These were some of the insights gained from the research experience of the biomedical research team from University of Guam (UOGCRC) and the University of Hawai'i (UHCC) after conducting a study in Guam which aimed to describe the betel nut chewing practices of its indigents and identify specific biomarkers that occur in the saliva of humans after betel nut (BN) mastication.An island in the western Pacific Ocean, Guam is home to a diverse society that reflects the blend of the culture of its original Chamorro inhabitants, and the political, economic and socio-cultural influences from the European, American, Asian, and other Micronesian peoples who have either occupied, visited and immigrated to the island since the 16th century. Betel chewing is an integral part of socializing in Guam and approximately 11% of the population chew betel nut on a regular basis. It is a social activity that imbues the spirit of familial goodwill even to strangers. The indigent people in Guam often offer the hard, mature nut at community celebrations and fellowships such as fiestas. However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has deemed betel nut chewing (with or without tobacco) carcinogenic to humans. Epidemiological and animal data have suggested strong associations between betel nut consumption and oral mucosal diseases such as leukoplakia, oral and nasopharyngeal cancer, and oral sub-mucous fibrosis. This paper looked into the cultural realities in Guam, its impact to the conduct of clinical research and the insights gained by the researchers from the process. Knowing the core elements of the culture in Guam was integral in the conduct of the clinical research that revolves around a very culturallyrelated practice which is the betel nut chewing. Seven cultural values were considered dominant and interrelated with the betel nut chewing practices in Guam: the importance of communal relationships; respect for familial and kinship influence especially authority; reciprocity; cultural practices and beliefs such as binge drinking and fluidity of time, language barriers; and the often paralyzing fear of social stigmatization. Researchers were reminded from the experience to be constantly mindful in approaching their work in order to guard against cross-cultural misunderstandings and/or misinterpretations.

“…Experienced nurses in both countries focused on their own attitudes towards patients rather than the language barrier. Huang, Yates, and Prior [10] reported that nurses' previous experiences, both personally and with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds, played an important role in shaping their approach to care. In this study, nurses utilized their previous experiences caring for patients who had different cultural backgrounds to enhance their ideas about the provision of appropriate care.…”

“…Furthermore, nurses' previous experiences in caring for different cultural groups enhance their ability to provide appropriate cultural care [10]. From this perspective, to improve the quality of care provided by Japanese nurses to foreign patients, it is important to understand nurses' perceptions of their previous experiences in caring for patients with diverse cultural backgrounds.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore Japanese nurses' perceptions of their experiences caring for culturally diverse patients through a comparison with Korean nurses. Methods:A qualitative exploratory design with a thematic analysis approach was used to collect and analyze data. Using purposive sampling, 15 nurses (9 Japanese nurses, 6 Korean nurses) who provided nursing care to culturally diverse patients within the past year were selected. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews. The six steps of Braun and Clarke were followed for data analysis.Results: Based on the data analysis, the following three themes were identified: challenges regarding the care of culturally diverse patients; important components regarding the care of culturally diverse patients; and deficiencies in nursing education for culturally congruent care. Conclusion:In the present study, Japanese nurses had less experience and provided fewer descriptions than Korean nurses regarding changes in thinking gained through experience caring for culturally diverse patients, and they also expressed feeling anxiety when providing care for such patients. This suggests that organizational support for culturally-based care should be promoted in Japan. Furthermore, our findings also suggest that education/training programs should be offered in order to enhance the cultural competency of Japanese and Korean nurses.
