Strategies for Managing Cultural Shock and Adaptation 471Nurs.

Introduction The resolution of cultural shock requires an individual plan that selects among maintenance behaviors, adjustments, and adaptations, depending on personal circumstances, resources, and goals.

Resolution of cultural shock is best achieved by a proactive cognitive orientation. This requires knowledge about cultural shock and the means of resolving it.

Definition The use of skills for resolving crises, and acceptance that some personal change and behavioral adjustment is fundamental to cultural shock resolution and adaptation To successfully manage cultural shock

1-predeparture preparation 2- Transition adjustments 3- personal and social relations 4- Cultural and social interaction rules 5-Conflict resolution and intercultural effectiveness skills. Strategies for Managing Cultural Shock and Adaptation

1.Predeparture preparation: Assessment of one’s ability to adapt to a new culture. Not all individuals are equally prepared to accept the rigors of cultural shock and adaptation

One can minimize cultural shock by 1-Preparing for problems 2-Using resources that will promote coping and adjustment. The process of successfully adjusting to a new culture should be supported by cross-cultural training, because it broadly facilitates adjustment, skills development, performance, and effectiveness in a new culture.

One’s attitude about the new culture and willingness to change are vital for adjustment. One must also be prepared to deal with personal rejection, prejudice, and discrimination

2-Transition adjustments. Successful adjustment also depends on the availability of transition resources Assistance in managing fundamentals such as food, housing, and transportation then frees the individual to focus on the cultural adaptation issues..

Maintenance and reparative behaviors may include Speaking one’s own language Eating the foods of one’s own culture Reading books and newspapers from home Talking and interacting with home nationals Writing letters or making phone calls home, Focusing on job activities that reinforce one’s sense of self. These behaviors are important ways to maintain or reestablish a sense of stability and well-being, but may also be ways of resisting the changes necessary for adjustment to the new culture.

3-Personal and social relations. Managing cultural shock requires that one maintain or reestablish a network of primary relations–family or friends– who provide positive interpersonal relations.

4-Cultural and social interaction rules. Although language skills are a vital factor in being able to understand another culture, it is also necessary to learn a wide range of nonverbal communication patterns, including paralinguistic conventions; social interaction patterns; kinesics and proxemics One can learn aspects of a culture by studying publications on cultural and social behavior and norms. Participation in the daily life of the host culture is essential for cultural adjustment and adaptation..

5-Conflict resolution and intercultural effectiveness skills. Successful adaptation requires accepting the fact that it is normal to face problems in a new culture and seeking solutions for problems instead of denying their existence. Cross-cultural problem solving is done by describing, analyzing, and identifying the problem from both cultures’ points of view; developing a synergistic strategy; and performing a multicultural assessment of effectiveness.

Understanding the inevitable conflicts from the point of view of the host culture is a good way to relax one’s own cultural definition, which views situations as problems. Effective adaptation requires that one avoid escalating the culture conflict that inevitably occurs in intercultural situations
