The Impact of an International Cultural Experience on Previously Held Stereotypes by American Student Nurses

Examined stereotypes held by U.S. student nurses before and after participating in an educational experience in Russia. The experience was intended to prepare them to be effective nurses in multicultural health care settings. Data from student interviews indicated that the experience changed students' stereotyped attitudes about Russian culture (specifically, food and the banya tradition) and Russian people. (SM)
