| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study had two main parts: a national survey of nurses on intercultural nursing competency and an interview study with Japanese nurses regarding their experience with intercultural patients.
The survey was found reliable and contained 6 intercultural nursing areas: knowledge, awareness, attitude, abilities, respect, and self-awareness. Results showed that nursing professionals in Japan have respect and positive attitudes toward intercultural nursing but feel they lack the skills to work with intercultural patients. The interviews were held with 11 nurses regarding their intercultural nursing experience. Findings included the methods and tools that nurses in Japan have used in intercultural nursing.
The results of the project showed the importance of hands-on training and experience to prepare Japanese nurses for intercultural patients. These results have informed the content and materials of Nursing English course and led to a project involving English-speaking simulated patients.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
A new intercultural nursing questionnaire survey for nurses in Japan was developed and shown to be both valid and reliable. Through the research project results, it was found that giving nurses "hands-on" training with intercultural situations, such as role plays, could be of benefit.
