Summary
Dramatization in nursing education enhances cultural understanding among doctoral students. This method effectively teaches implicit bias and cultural differences, preparing nurses for diverse clinical settings.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Cultural Competence
- Implicit Bias Training
Background:
- Dramatization is an understudied method for teaching implicit bias and cultural differences in health professional education.
- Graduate nursing students have not widely experienced or been studied regarding dramatization in their curriculum.
Purpose of the Study:
- To qualitatively analyze doctoral nursing students' responses to a novel dramatic exercise.
- To assess the effectiveness of a funded project aimed at enhancing cultural learning within a nursing curriculum.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional posttest design utilizing qualitative data collection and hermeneutic analysis.
- 136 doctoral nursing students from two cohorts participated.
- Feedback was gathered through paper surveys after a drama-facilitated exercise and analyzed for insights into cultural difference.
Main Results:
- Students highly rated the dramatic exercise.
- Analysis revealed themes of awareness through integrated nonverbal and verbal learning, tension from hesitancy, and the importance of safety in sensitive topic learning.
- Student feedback provided deeper insights into the internalization of cultural difference messages.
Conclusions:
- Dramatization of culturally sensitive scenarios can foster new understanding in advanced practice nurses.
- Educators can improve nurse preparedness for cross-cultural interactions by thoughtfully implementing dramatization.
