["However we are different"--research of nursing experience at migrants on the background of a dynamic culture understanding].
At the beginning of this study was the assumption that cultural differences have hardly been taken into consideration in Germany. How do people from a different cultural background experience nursing in German hospitals? The actual relationship with some group of patients from another cultural background in the hospital ward is to be described vividly and properly. Therefore this study is following the applied phenomenology that nursing experience should be examined by problem oriented interviews. The results should be discussed in the context of present-day literature on science of nursing. The dominating topic of the interviews is "being different"-"being foreign". Perception and acceptance of foreign understanding of reality is the starting point for culturally adapted nursing. Professional nursing means individually planned nursing, considering the given context and environment. Therefore professional nurses have to grasp and conduct according to the individual experience of reality of patients.
