    abstract = "Aims To investigate how nursing experts and experts from other health
professions understand the concept of rationing/missed/unfinished
nursing care and how this is compared at a cross-cultural level. Design
The mixed methods descriptive study. Methods The semi-structured
questionnaires were sent to the sample of 45 scholars and practitioners
from 26 countries. Data were collected from November 2017-February 2018.
Results Assigning average cultural values to participants from each
country revealed three cultural groups: high individualism-high
masculinity, high individualism-low masculinity and low
individualism-medium masculinity. Content analysis of the findings
revealed three main themes, which were identified across cultural
clusters: (a) projecting blame for the phenomenon: Blaming the nurse
versus blaming the system; (b) intentionality versus unintentionality;
and (c) focus on nurses in comparison to focus on patients. Conclusion
Consistent differences in the understanding of missed nursing care can
be understood in line with the nation's standing on two main cultural
values: individualism and masculinity. Impact The findings call for
scholars' caution in interpreting missed nursing care from different
cultures, or in comparing levels and types of missed nursing tasks
across nations. The findings further indicated that mimicking
interventions to limit missed nursing care from one cultural context to
the other might be ineffective. Interventions to mitigate the phenomenon
should be implemented thoughtfully, considering the cultural aspects."
