Exploring Working Relationships Between National and Expatriate RNs on Humanitarian Aid Missions: The Perspectives of Liberian Nurses

Conclusions: The findings indicate that changes are warranted in the current work culture between national and expatriate nursing staff. Improving collaboration between national and expatriate RNs could lead to higher-quality care and better patient outcomes. Predeployment training for expatriates that incorporates the voices of national staff is recommended; this would raise awareness of the realities of nursing in low-resource settings and promote respect for national staff.
