Abstract

Abstract: International study abroad programs offered by American universities provide opportunities to experience global health care disparities. This qualitative phenomenological research using a hermeneutic approach was conducted to explore how clinical experience in Tanzania influenced the knowledge and attitudes of prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students toward culture, health care disparities, and health care outcomes. Two main themes emerged from the research: thinking as another and carrying it forward.
