This course involves the guided study of how cultural, political, and economic forces influence the health care and nursing needs of one country or region. Particular attention will be given to ethical principles or norms that guide the responsible conduct of research and how to apply them to research in the country/region under study. Students will explore concepts related to the responsible conduct of research or research misconduct including informed consent for research participation, scientific freedom, collaboration, and authorship. The status of nursing education, licensure, and practice and how these factors influence nursing research in the country/region under study will be reviewed. A major emphasis is on learning through a cultural informant(s) from the area under study in addition to reviewing the literature on nursing and health care research of the area. Implications for future international research collaborations in nursing and health care are emphasized.
