However, the world of global health is rooted in colonial practices that have the potential to cause harm to communities. In this reflection, we provide lessons we have learned through study abroad that guide strategies for decolonizing our practice while working toward cultural safety and humility. We utilized a qualitative case study method. Authors discussed and reviewed study abroad programs through a series of virtual discussions. Discussions showed that study abroad programs present opportunities for students and faculty to grow and learn. However, unacknowledged privileges among visiting students and faculty, and lack of understanding of the impacts of colonialism, may lead to harm in communities and inequitable relationships with local providers. Understanding the privileges that we hold is important in advancing positive and equitable experiences in study abroad programs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54705,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Outlook","volume":"72 5","pages":"Article 102231"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141630668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
