The transcultural nursing experiences of Filipino nurses in Saudi Arabia reveal a complex landscape of challenges and adaptations. Despite their reputation for professionalism and high work ethics, these nurses often face significant barriers related to language, cultural differences, and varying patient expectations. We explored unique experiences of Filipino nurses as they navigate these challenges in their workplace interactions and patient care practices. To capture these experiences, we conducted in-depth interviews with Seven Filipino nurses currently employed in various healthcare institutions in Saudi Arabia. The interviews, conducted in either Filipino or English, were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and translated when necessary. Thematic analysis was carried out the identification of key themes that reflect the multifaceted aspects of transcultural nursing. To address these, Filipino nurses adopt strategies such as peer support, cultural immersion, and learning Arabic, which facilitate better workplace interactions. In patient care, Filipino nurses navigate cultural nuances, including norms around touch, eye contact, and varied beliefs about health and illness, adapting practices to meet patient expectations respectfully. The nurses actively pursue self-education, cultural competence training, and seek patient feedback to ensure culturally aligned care. Communication barriers with non-English-speaking patients further underscore the importance of interpreters for clear, respectful interactions. Additionally, the cultural norms around gender in Saudi Arabia influence patient interactions, requiring Filipino nurses to adjust their care sensitively to honor these expectations. Overall, this study reveals the complex interplay of Cultural hurdles and the self-management strategies and self-directed strategies that shape the transcultural nursing experiences of Filipino nurses in Saudi Arabia. By adopting patient-centered and culturally competent care practices, Filipino nurses can build trust and establish meaningful relationships with patients from diverse backgrounds. These findings underscore the importance of cultural awareness, supportive professional networks, and ongoing training in enhancing the adaptability and effectiveness of Filipino nurses in international healthcare settings.
