The purpose of this phenomenological study is to explore the experience of caring for individuals and families left homeless and then displaced in the aftermath of destructive hurricanes. The nursing situations, which are reflective stories from the practice of seven undergraduate nursing students, were interpreted to uncover the meaning of caring for others who have experienced disastrous situations. The interpreted findings are three thematic threads that cut across all the texts: building connections to others, appreciating the wholeness of persons, and learning the meaning of caring in nursing. The wholeness of this inquiry is presented using a metaphor to describe the fullness of lives lived, despite being left homeless and displaced by disastrous hurricanes.

Background: In today’s political environment, there is a significant need for healthcare professionals to be aware of health policy and its impact on practice and the population. Nursing, a respected and trusted profession, has a responsibility to increase its awareness and advocacy efforts to ensure practice and execution of responsible and ethical health policy. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the lived experience of doctoral nursing students' (PhD and DNP) engagement in a week-long immersion trip to Washington, D.C. as a requirement of their mandatory health policy course. This immersion trip encompassed participation in numerous activities that focused on health policy, nursing's role in research, and its presence in the political arena. In addition to describing doctoral nursing students' lived experience, the researchers sought to discover how this experience impacts doctorally-prepared nurses’ political awareness and future interest in health policy. Methods: Data were gathered using Google Forms to obtain doctoral nursing students’ experiences after participating in a week-long Washington, D.C. immersion as part of their mandatory doctoral coursework at a Mid-Atlantic college in the United States. The survey was emailed to 43 PhD and DNP students, of which 30 met the inclusion criteria. Demographic data analysis, in addition to thematic analysis of survey responses with the aid of NVivo, were performed. Results: Four themes emerged from the analysis to describe the experience and impact that the week-long Washington, D.C. immersion had on doctoral nursing students: Knowledge and Understanding of the Political Process, Recognition of the Role Professional Nursing Organizations Play in the Political Arena, Empowerment Through Increased Awareness, and Nursing’s Role as an Advocate for the People Conclusion: Through increased knowledge and awareness of health policy, doctorally-prepared nurses may be more inclined to seek and engage in the political arena and actively participate in advocacy efforts to improve health policy and the healthcare system.

Study Abroad Program

Nursing study abroad is one approach to preparing student nurses to work more effectively in international environments as well as at home with culturally diverse clients. These programs foster self-reflection by permitting students to spend considerable time immersed in different cultures, thus exposing them to clients with different health beliefs and values. The authors of this transformational phenomenological study examined the lived experience of American and Honduran nursing students working collaboratively during a nursing study abroad program. One-time audio-recorded semi structured interviews were conducted to gather data from American and Honduran students. Six themes emerged: Communication (i.e., language and communication patterns), the cultural environment, and sharing/learning were common themes to both groups; among Hondurans, validation/empowerment and the nursing experience emerged as important themes, while transformation was the theme unique to American students. These findings support previous research regarding the importance of study abroad programs in the development of cultural competence, and suggest directions for nurse educators to prepare nurses who can function in an increasingly globalized health care environment. These findings also highlight the merits of this collaborative approach to nursing study abroad and they provide the foreign hosts’ unique perspective regarding their experiences working with American nursing students. The study results also indicate the need for further research on collaborative experiences with foreign and American health care partners and the perspective of the participants of other countries.

Research Framework

Background and objective: Descriptive phenomenology when used within the tradition of Husserl offers the qualitative researcher a unique perspective into the lived experience of the phenomena in question. Methods of data analysis are often seen as the theoretical framework for which these studies are then focused. However, what is not realised is that the data analysis tool is merely that a tool for which to delineate the individual narratives. What is often missing is a research framework for which to structure the actual study.  Therefore, the aim of this paper is to offer a reflective account of how the empirical-phenomenological framework shaped and informed a descriptive phenomenological study looking at the lived experience of male nursing students as they journey though the under-graduate nursing programme.Methods: A reflective narrative was used to examine and explore how the empirical-phenomenological framework can be used to support method construction within a descriptive phenomenological study.Results and conclusions: The empirical-phenomenological research framework aims to provide a practical method for understanding and valuing the range and depth of descriptive phenomenology, in particular the lived experience. Used in combination with specific phenomenological data analysis models the empirical-phenomenological framework is structured to support the qualitative research process.

Insight Into

This phenomenological study explored the lived experience of nursing faculty who received caring from nursing students. Seven faculty members participated. Interviews were analyzed using a phenomenological methodology by Colaizzi (1978). Methodological rigor was achieved adhering to trustworthiness criteria of Lincoln and Guba (1985). Three patterns emerged: Opening the Door, Stepping Through, and Keeping the Door Open. The pattern of Opening the Door incorporated the themes of Being in a Caring Group and Self-Disclosing. Stepping Through encompassed themes of Acknowledging Me as a Person and Giving. The themes Respecting, Sharing, Supporting, and Connecting were included in the pattern Keeping the Door Open. Findings related to the theory of nursing as caring (Boykin & Schoenhofer, 2001) and offered insight into relationships between nursing educators and nursing students and increased understanding of the reciprocal nature of caring.

Introduction: In recent decades, Italy has been exposed to significant migrant flows resulting from political and economic instability in neighbouring countries. As a result, there has been an increased amount of cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD) among nursing students. The aim of this study was to explore the experience of CALD nursing students as lived in the Italian nursing programmes. Method: A descriptive phenomenological method was used in 2017 with the involvement of a purposeful sample of 21 CALD nursing students in five Italian Bachelor of Nursing Science campuses. Data were collected using semistructured interviews; the subsequent content analysis was conducted by two independent researchers. Results: CALD nursing students reported having lived a transformative experience based on seven themes, from “living in the middle, between belonging and detachment” to “acquiring cultural awareness and cultural sensitivity.” Discussion: Dealing with linguistic and cultural differences can affected CALD students’ academic success, but also encourages them to develop awareness and cultural sensitivity by influencing their peers and the environment of the nursing programme. Therefore, having CALD students is a great value for nursing programmes. Nursing programmes should embody the values of cultural sensitivity and acceptance, including them as a nursing care value and as a concrete strategy to support CALD students. They should also develop strategies to promote the knowledge and responsibilities of nurses among CALD students and increase cultural sensitivity among faculty members at different levels.
