Challenges of conducting qualitative research of non-suicidal self-injury in South Korea: An international nursing research collaboration

초록

Understanding non-suicidal self-injury in foreign countries considering their cultural context requires collaboration among international researchers. Through an international collaborative approach, gaps in cultural views can be closed, thereby increasing the understanding of non-suicidal self-injury at a global level. The aim of this article was to illustrate the methodological and ethical challenges of an international collaboration that occurred during a qualitative study with South Korean young adults and the corresponding strategies that were implemented. It is hoped that the dissemination of these strategies and lessons learned can assist other researchers as they pursue international collaborative research.
