Cultural beliefs and practices of internationally educated nurses in the context of cancer and end-of-life care

Our study aims to understand the experiences of internationally educated nurses (IEN) in the context of cancer and end-of-life care.

This study explores and analyses how cultural beliefs and practices of IENs inform their delivery of nursing care. Considering the cultural diversity of Australia and its nursing workforce, understanding this phenomenon deserves attention to advance culturally sensitive care and enhance IENs' workplace experience.

You will contribute valuable information to advance knowledge and understanding of your experience and may inform future strategies to enhance your work experience.
