Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı uluslararası hemşirelik lisans öğrencilerinin eğitimleri süresince yaşadıkları zorlukları belirlemektir.

Yöntemler: Fenomenolojik araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma, Türkiye'deki bir vakıf üniversitesine kayıtlı 20 uluslararası hemşirelik öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada Colaizzi’nin fenomenolojik veri analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre 'Farklı bir ortamda öğrenme', 'Zorluklar', 'Çözüm-Çözümsüzlük' olmak üzere üç ana tema ve 'Sistem farkı, Klinik uygulamada dil sorunları, Geniş hemşirelik müfredatı, Kolaylaştırıcılar, Dil engeli, Memleket hasreti, Irkçılık ve ayrımcılık, Barınma zorlukları, Finansman eksikliği, Anında çözüm, Çözüm bulamama' alt temaları oluşturulmuştur.

Sonuç: Öğrenciler, farklı ortam, çözümsüzlükler, çeşitli zorluklar yaşadıklarını ve bu durumların eğitim ve başarılarını doğrudan etkiledikleri görülmüştür. Bunun için hem eğitim aldıkları kurumların hem de akademisyenlerin öğrencilere destek olmaları gerekmektedir.
