Promoting Transcultural Nursing Education Through International Academic Collaboration

On the 6 December 2025, a faculty member from the Faculty of Nursing (FKep), Hasanuddin University (UNHAS), Andi Masyitha Irwan, Ph.D., delivered a guest lecture entitled “Transcultural Nursing” for Master of Nursing students at Christian University of Thailand (CUT), Thailand. The lecture lasted for two hours and consisted of a sharing session followed by a question-and-answer session.

The majority of CUT’s master’s students are clinical nurses working in hospitals or public health centers. This background contributed to a lively and engaging discussion, as students actively shared their professional experiences related to transcultural nursing practices in clinical settings.

The collaboration between FKep UNHAS and CUT has been established for several years through exchange programs, research collaboration, and teaching series. In 2025, one of CUT’s faculty members, Dr. Sakul Changmai, delivered a lecture to FKep UNHAS students entitled “Health Promotion Programs in Thai Community Settings.” Furthermore, Dr. Sakul Changmai and Dr. Andi Masyitha Irwan has jointly published two research articles focusing on issues in older people’s care.
