Abstract
Background
Participation in international educational programs during nurses’ and midwives’ preregistration education provides an opportunity to experience healthcare in different cultures. Short-term outcomes of participation have been reported; however, little has been published regarding long-term outcomes and theoretical processes for nurses and midwives who participate in such programs.
Purpose
To provide in-depth understandings through a theoretical model of long-term outcomes and impacts for nurses and midwives who participate in international educational programs during their preregistration education.
Methods
Constructivist grounded theory methodology was employed in this study. Thirteen general nurses, two mental health nurses, three midwives, and four dual-qualified nurse/midwives from eight different countries were interviewed.
Conclusion
The substantive theory, “Transforming personally and professionally through global cultural experience,” presents an explanation of processes and long-term impacts for those who participated in international programs during their preregistration education.
