This study focuses on lived experiences of Indonesian nurses in Japan. Objectives of this study were to clarify their experiences and views in terms of the scope of nursing and cultural adaptation, and to examine whether cultural barriers are among the reasons nurses return to their home country. The study was based upon in-depth interviews with Indonesian nurses who had worked in Japan. Fourteen Indonesian nurses participated in the study. Indonesian nurses viewed Japanese work culture as hardworking, requiring excessive punctuality, having too many rules, and maintaining hierarchy between junior and senior nurses.Collaboration with doctors, integrated elderly care, and touching emerged as differences in the nursing practice. Indonesian nurses hesitated to touch patients as they did in Indonesia due to cultural differences. Religious practice among Muslims and family priority were reasons to return to Indonesia. To utilize IEN’s skills, not only must the migrants learn Japanese culture and values, but it will be necessary for Japanese employers and staff to understand the values of the IENs.","PeriodicalId":128467,"journal":{"name":"Volume-10 : Issue 1, July, 2018","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124672534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malaysia has a wide-range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds that offers a wonderful chance to understand the different role of cultures and postnatal practices in relation to postnatal depression. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the link between the Malaysian healthcare system, social and cultural context, the existing health policy and postnatal depression. This paper highlights that while there are different levels of nurses who work collaboratively to manage pregnant and postnatal mothers in the maternal and child health clinic, the focus of their care is more on physical health. The international guidelines for diagnosing PND were not commonly used within the clinics, although the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has been widely used within psychiatric setting in Malaysia. There is no formal mechanism or assessment to detect PND in the clinics. There were no guidelines found that specifically focused on the management of PND. It is questionable whether the current approaches to promote and manage maternal mental health in Malaysia have a sense of cultural-based strategies. These significant gaps call for empirical evidence that explicitly focussed on the experiences and perceptions of PND in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":128467,"journal":{"name":"Volume-10 : Issue 1, July, 2018","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134171634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
