Abstract [en]

Introduction: The study explored cultural diversity in nursing teams and the internal and external conditions under which cultural differences represent an asset or a liability for these teams.

Methods: A qualitative design with content analysis was employed. In total, 18 interviews were conducted with nurses and assistant nurses with experience of working in culturally diverse teams in three distinct clinical settings.

Results: Three domains emerged in the study analysis: triggers, team process and contingencies. Each one encompassed a number of themes related to culturally diverse nursing team processes, triggers of team processes and context-specific contingencies, which represent the complexity of culturally diverse nursing team functioning.

Discussion/implications: The study suggests how cultural differences in nursing teams can be managed and further explored from within the team and by individuals leading those teams, taking into account the disablers and enablers of their functioning.

Einleitung: Die Studie untersuchte die kulturelle Vielfalt in Pflegeteams und die internen und externen Bedingungen, unter denen kulturelle Unterschiede einen Vorteil oder eine Belastung für diese Teams darstellen.

Methodik: Es wurde ein qualitatives Design mit Inhaltsanalyse verwendet. Es wurden achtzehn Interviews mit Pflegefachpersonen und Assistenzpflegenden mit Arbeitserfahrung in kulturell vielfältigen Teams in drei klinischen Settings durchgeführt.

Ergebnisse: Drei Bereiche resultierten aus der Analyse: Auslöser, Teamprozess und Kontext. Jeder dieser Bereiche umfasste eine Reihe von Themen im Zusammenhang mit kulturell unterschiedlichen Pflegeteamprozessen, Auslösern von Teamprozessen und kontextspezifischen Kontingenzen, die die Komplexität der Funktionsweise kulturell unterschiedlicher Pflegeteams repräsentieren.

Diskussion/Implikationen: Die Studie macht Vorschläge, wie kulturelle Unterschiede in Pflegeteams vom Team selber und von Leitungspersonen bewältigt und weiter erforscht werden können, wobei Hinderungs- und Förderfaktoren fürs Funktionieren dargestellt werden.
