“…In recent years, anecdotal reports have described the benefits of study abroad programs for nursing students (Colling & Wilson, 1998;Duffy, Farmer, Ravert, & Huittinen, 2003;Johanson, 2006;Leinonen, 2006;Tabi & Mukherjee, 2003). Reciprocal nursing exchange programs are gaining in popularity as both host and home country participants are recipients of these benefits.…”

Nurse researchers need to explore study abroad programs and identify their impact on the development of cultural competence and global perspectives in nursing students. Despite the anecdotal professional and personal benefits that have been attributed to study abroad in other disciplines, current nursing literature regarding this topic is limited and has only emerged in nursing research within the last decade. There is a significant gap in the existing body of knowledge with respect to American nursing students who study abroad and the reported benefits of and impediments to their experiences. Much of the nursing research conducted with American nursing students has been quantitative as opposed to qualitative studies with European and Australian nursing students. Many samples are homogenous and therefore exclude diverse populations. Further research involving all methodological designs is warranted to better understand this type of engaged learning.

“…Others have stimulated interest in cultural topics by incorporating and/or encouraging student-centered activities such as case scenarios, group presentations, and role play (Grant & Letzring, 2003). Still others form a small group of nurse educators who organize and implement international exchange opportunities to examine cultures by studying abroad (Colling & Wilson, 1998;Johanson, 2006;Leinonen, 2006).…”

Nurse Researchers need to explore study abroad programs and identify their impact on the development of cultural competence and global perspectives in nursing students. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of nursing students who study abroad and to identify benefits and impediments that may be used to spawn future research and shape existing and future study abroad programs. The research question for this phenomenological study was "What is the lived experience of nursing students who study abroad?" A purposive sample of nursing students was obtained and included participants who completed an elective study abroad nursing course to either England or Dominica between 2006 and 2008. Data collection was obtained from two sources: semistructured interviews and written reflective travel journals. Four themes became evident as a result of becoming immersed in students' written and spoken words. Those themes were recognizing, encountering, adapting, and mastering. Findings from this study suggest that there are vast benefits of study abroad programs for nursing students including, but not limited to, increased personal growth, awareness of diverse cultures, adapting despite an unfamiliar environment, and increased self-efficacy. These findings have strong implications for nursing education, practice, and research.

“…9 La siesta en Mérida es practicada no sólo por la población local, sino también por personas que migran temporalmente a la ciudad e incluso por turistas que la visitan por periodos cortos. 10 El término inglés napen hace referencia a un período breve en el cual se duerme, que suele durar de 30 a 45 minutos, pero a diferencia del napen, la siesta suele durar más. En el caso de los niños de primaria, que suelen salir de los colegios entre las 11:30 y 12:30 horas y que almuerzan alrededor de las 12:00 o 13:00 horas, suelen tomar siesta hasta las 16.…”

La siesta y el exceso de peso en escolares de Mérida, Yucatán. Estudio analítico transversalResumen INTRODUCCIÓN: en Mérida, Yucatán, México, la siesta es una costumbre arraigada que hace referencia al período dedicado a dormir después de almorzar.OBJETIVO: describir el hábito de la siesta y su asociación con el exceso de peso en los escolares de primaria. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS:estudio transversal prolectivo desarrollado en 2012 en una muestra probabilística de 2,104 escolares procedentes de 16 escuelas públicas aleatoriamente seleccionadas en Mérida, Yucatán.RESULTADOS: se observó que los escolares que hacen siesta (≥ 3 veces/semana, ≥ 2 horas/día) son más propensos al exceso de peso (z = 2.73, p = 0.01); realizan significativamente menos ejercicio (z = -5.91, p < 0.00); duermen menos durante la noche (z = -17.59, p = 0.01) y consumen menos frutas y verduras (z = -2.59, p = 0.01). También ven más horas de televisión. DISCUSIÓN: la costumbre de la siesta, a pesar de ser un hábito muy arraigado, debe ser limitada en tiempo, para no afectar el estado nutricional de los escolares meridanos al favorecer el sedentarismo.PALABRAS CLAVE: sueño, sedentarismo, sobrepeso, índice de masa corporal. In Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, the afternoon nap is a deep-rooted habit that makes reference to a period dedicated to sleep after lunch. Méndez
