| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
A survey designed to be a scale measuring Japanese nursing professionals' attitudes toward cross-cultural nursing was conducted nationwide in academic year 2021-22. In the current year being reported (2022-23), the survey results were analyzed both descriptively, to identify respondent characteristics and overall results, and statistically, in the form of a factor analysis of the survey items. A total of 48 question items in six factors were extracted. Said factors, upon analysis, were labeled as follows: Knowledge, Awareness, Attitude, Skills,
Respect, and Self-awareness, all regarding cross-cultural nursing. Survey results were then written up for reporting and submission for publication, as well as presented at one domestic and two international conferences. The research project then entered its second phase, in which individual interviews were conducted with eleven nursing professionals regarding their cross-cultural nursing experience.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, recruitment of healthcare institutions for participation in the nationwide survey was delayed, requiring two rounds of contact and recruiting. Upon completion of the survey results analysis, individual interviews were then scheduled with nursing professionals and completed in the latter half of the 2022-23 academic year. Also, the initial paper reporting results of the nationwide survey, upon submission for publication, was tentatively accepted pending revisions, which will require further statistical analysis in terms of further testing construct validity.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the upcoming year (2023-24), the individual interview contents will be transcribed and then analyzed qualitatively. Results will then be presented at conferences both domestic and international in the latter half of the 2023-24 academic year and into the following year. Upon completion of the qualitative analysis and further statistical analysis mentioned above, it is expected that an emerging picture of the current state of cross-cultural nursing in Japan--and nursing professionals' needs in this regard--as well as a developed and tested scale for self-evaluation of cross-cultural nursing will be obtained. Based on these results, the third phase of the project (materials creation) will begin.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Remaining funds will be used in academic year 2023-24 to cover the expenses for transcribing the contents of the 11 individual interviews conducted with nursing professionals in the 2022-23 academic year. A total of 616 minutes of semi-structured interview content in Japanese will be transcribed using a transcription service. As qualitative analysis software has already been purchased, once the transcription is completed--and double-checked for accuracy--qualitative analysis of interview content will be conducted.
