Purpose: The purpose of this ethnographic study was to explore the experience of Setumin college students’ adaptation to the nursing education in South Korea from their perspectives.
Methods: This study used focused ethnography as its guiding methodology. Individual interviews with six Setumin nursing students were conducted using semi-structured interview questions developed from literature review and a pilot interview. Leininger and McFarland’s four phases of ethnographic analysis method was used to analyze the interview data.
Results: Six main themes emerged as meaningful aspects from the Setumin nursing students’ educational adaptation experience. Those were meaning of being a nurse, never be an easy one, feeling less of myself, difficulty in relationships with colleagues and faculty members, trying to be strong despite of all difficulties, and moving one step forward to achieve my dream.
Conclusion: This study is the first study that explore Setumin nursing students’ meaningful aspects of adaptation to unique academic culture in nursing education from their own perspectives. Despite the multiple challenges of different socio-cultural backgrounds and learning barriers, Setumin nursing students in this study desired to be successful and were willing to try hard to make their dreams come true, by pursuing their nursing career in South Korea. Several recommendations for further research and academic strategies that could facilitate Setumin nursing students’ adaptation and learning outcomes were suggested.
