The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at the Florida Atlantic University is grounded in the Nursing as Caring theory. A transcultural caring immersion experience for nursing students is provided within the tribal community of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokees.
The purpose of this study was to ascertain descriptions of nursing students' transcultural immersion experience.
A qualitative descriptive approach was used via the Talking Circle method. The consensual qualitative research analytical approach was used to categorize participant responses.
Six themes emerged that are consistent with the Nursing as Caring theoretical key concepts: (1) persons are caring as diverse human beings, (2) persons care from a unique cultural perspective moment to moment, (3) persons are whole and complete in the moment when engaging with diverse others, (4) personhood is a process of living with meaningful purpose by diverse persons, (5) personhood evolves while caring for diverse others in nurturing relationships, and (6) connecting nursing as both a profession and a discipline occurs among unique and diverse persons.
The findings from this study reveal the value of providing a transcultural caring immersion experience to students from a Nursing as Caring theoretical perspective.
佛罗里达大西洋大学的克里斯汀·E·林恩护理学院以“护理即关怀”理论为基础。在切罗基联合基图瓦部落社区为护理专业学生提供了一次跨文化关怀沉浸式体验。
本研究的目的是确定护理专业学生跨文化沉浸式体验的描述。
通过围坐交谈法采用定性描述方法。采用共识定性研究分析方法对参与者的回答进行分类。
出现了六个与“护理即关怀”理论关键概念一致的主题：（1）人作为多样化的个体给予关怀；（2）人每时每刻从独特的文化视角给予关怀；（3）人与不同的他人互动时当下是完整的；（4）人格是不同个体带着有意义的目的生活的过程；（5）人格在与不同的他人建立滋养关系并给予关怀时不断演变；（6）护理作为一种职业和一门学科在独特且多样的个体之间建立联系。
本研究结果揭示了从“护理即关怀”理论视角为学生提供跨文化关怀沉浸式体验的价值。
