Although a significant number of United States nurses is active in international interactions within sociocultural, economic and political contexts different from this country, little is known about international consultation by these nurses. This study identifies the consultants, the clients, the nature of advice given, and the attitude and beliefs of the consultants.
Two sets of data were used in this exploratory/descriptive study of U.S. nurses who have engaged in international consultation during the past 7 years. The first set consisted of the responses to a 12-page questionnaire which was completed by 93 informants, while the second set consisted of the content analysis of 25 interviews. Findings included a demographic profile of the consultant, information about the client, type of advice given, motivation for engaging in international consultation, and ways in which advice was adapted to make it culturally relevant and effective in its context.
