“…This has normalized and streamlined opportunities for international collaboration, without the need to travel, or when travel cannot be carried out due to other reasons such as public safety or geo-political instability. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Montegrico et al (2023) note that their international research collaboration among nurse education researchers from five continents occurred online for communication, collaboration, and implementation of research activities. Given the advantages of conducting international collaborations online, including saving time and money that would otherwise be spent to travel long distances, it would be anticipated that online collaborations continue or at least supplement in-person collaboration.…”

AimTo present and discuss our experiences of learning how to establish and maintain an international collaboration as early career nurse researchers residing in the United States and Australia.BackgroundInternational research collaborations require additional startup time given the complexities of navigating cultural differences, obtaining ethics committee approvals in different countries and collecting human subject data. International collaborations may be daunting for early career researchers given their inexperience and pragmatic focus on research projects that lead to outputs achievable on short timelines for career advancement.DesignDiscussion paper.Data SourcesEvidence from international literature about global collaborations across numerous disciplines, including potential factors that could facilitate or constrain early career researcher efforts to engage in international collaborations, were combined with authors' lived experiences as early career researchers.DiscussionOur collaboration began in July 2022 through a professional introduction spurred by a call for applications to fund global nursing education collaborations. Interpersonal, logistical and organizational factors played a role in our lived experiences of beginning an international collaboration. Our experiences are consistent with published literature about the time and complexity involved in conducting international research.ConclusionInvesting time building interpersonal relationships strengthens international research and supports collaborative learning and intercultural understanding. These professional relationships can be built over time to develop significant bodies of research with international impact. Early career researchers need to be resilient, persistent and tenacious as they ‘jump through hoops’ to establish international research collaborations.ImpactBuilding relationships during international research collaborations supports collaborative learning for intercultural understanding and strengthens research to address emerging global problems. International nursing research collaborations could encourage greater curiosity, innovative ideas and solutions to international problems that could not be achieved in isolation.Patient or Public ContributionThere was no patient or public involvement in the design and development of this paper.

“…8 Students have also reported an increased sense of value for interaction with peers from another country and competence in intercultural interaction after an asynchronous academic online course. 1,6 Peer-to-peer feedback is an influential component in self-reflective learning and practice in nursing. Peer feedback as an element of formative assessment supports more robust information for performance improvement from diverse perspectives than a single course instructor can provide alone.…”

“…International collaborations in nursing education have substantial potential to increase knowledge through sharing of expertise in culturally diverse contexts. 6 However, in-person, immersive, global experiences for students and faculty require significant amounts of funding and institutional support. In contrast, online collaborative learning experiences are cost-effective and feasible and can have a positive impact on cross-cultural awareness and learning outcomes for nursing students and faculty.…”

Background: Development of skills in peer-to-peer feedback in multicultural and global contexts is important to excellent teaching practice in nursing education. Purpose: This study identified student attitudes toward giving and receiving peer-to-peer feedback between international peers in a graduate-level online instructional design course. Methods: Twenty-one graduate nursing students in 2 nurse educator programs from the United States and Finland participated in this descriptive study. Pre- and postcourse Feedback Orientation Scale (FOS) scores were analyzed in combination with student reflections on learning experiences related to peer-review course activities. Results: Mean pre- to postcourse overall FOS scores increased, suggesting greater student receptiveness to peer feedback, particularly in the dimensions of utility and self-efficacy. Postcourse reflections demonstrated increased appreciation for opportunities to triangulate feedback from multiple, diverse sources. Conclusions: Opportunities for graduate students in nurse educator programs to exchange peer-to-peer feedback with international peers foster growth in positive attitudes toward receiving and using peer feedback.
