Growth in a context of cultural marginality: North American nurse educators in Japan

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Concepts of marginality and partnership emerged from a questionnaire completed by 12 North American nurse educators working long term in Japan. METHODS: To study individual perceptions regarding current professional and personal experiences, including language competency, roles and responsibilities in a different culture, contributions made, and management of daily living. Respondents also made recommendations to others who accepted similar assignments. RESULTS: The data revealed growth accomplished and challenges encountered as a result of marginal status in the Japanese context with varying levels of socio-cultural adaptation.
