Welcome! As part of the Washington State University (WSU) Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) award, we are surveying graduating advanced-level nursing students from other ANEW-awarded nursing schools across the United States. This survey asks students about their clinical and educational preparedness to provide cross-cultural patient care (see Instrument), defined as patients who are members of a culture different from the perceived predominant culture, including racial/ethnic minorities, LGBTQI+ populations, persons with disabilities, persons from another country, among others. If your school decides to participate, we will provide you with a copy of your school’s anonymous student data and a summary of results (see Results). Our goal is for the results from the cross-cultural survey to serve as a resource for participating schools, helping faculty to inform their curriculum.
Who can participate?
We welcome all Health Resources and Services Administration ANEW-awarded nursing schools to take part in the survey.
What does my school’s participation entail?
If you would like your school to participate, we ask that you (the ANEW Project Director) or a designated lead faculty member from your school to be responsible for emailing the cross-cultural survey link to students. The survey is intended for students who are at the end of their advanced nursing education, preferably within a month of graduation. WSU has found the best strategy is to identify a single course in which all/most graduating students are enrolled and work with the instructor of the course to disseminate the survey. We recommend giving students 10 minutes of class-time to take the survey. We would ask that you or lead faculty encourage students to participate.
Your school’s data will be summarized in a report so that you may identify your curriculum’s areas of strength and weakness related to cross-cultural care. WSU will also provide you with an SPSS or Excel file containing the raw data. Student survey responses will be anonymous. After project completion, WSU will pool the data across programs and share the aggregated results with participating programs. Washington State University’s Institutional Review Board designated this multi-site survey as exempt from review.
