BACKGROUND
The number of international healthcare volunteers in low-income countries that need trained human resources has been increasing. However, migrating to a foreign country requires adapting to its environment and culture. The purpose of this study was to explore the international healthcare volunteers' experiences in Ethiopia in building relationships with local healthcare providers.
METHODS
Six participants were enrolled in the study, and data were collected through individual in-depth interviews conducted between September and October 2018. The collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method.
RESULTS
Ten subthemes emerged from five themes: "facing new situations", "accepting myself as an outsider in Ethiopia", "impact on the wall of prejudice", "adapting to a new culture", and "positive outlook".
CONCLUSIONS
This study shows that international healthcare volunteers in Ethiopia experienced challenges in building relationships with local healthcare providers due to linguistic and cultural gaps. Nevertheless, they strived to accept the culture and play their part as helpers in providing healthcare services.
背景
在需要专业人力资源的低收入国家，国际医疗志愿者的数量一直在增加。然而，移民到外国需要适应其环境和文化。本研究的目的是探讨国际医疗志愿者在埃塞俄比亚与当地医疗服务提供者建立关系的经历。
方法
六名参与者被纳入研究，并于2018年9月至10月期间通过个人深度访谈收集数据。使用科莱齐的现象学方法对收集到的数据进行分析。
结果
从五个主题中出现了十个子主题：“面对新情况”、“接受自己是埃塞俄比亚的局外人”、“对偏见之墙的影响”、“适应新文化”和“积极展望”。
结论
本研究表明，由于语言和文化差距，埃塞俄比亚的国际医疗志愿者在与当地医疗服务提供者建立关系时面临挑战。尽管如此，他们努力接受当地文化，并作为帮助者在提供医疗服务中发挥作用。
