Abstract


This study was conducted to explore the Muslim Maguindanaon culture. A Husserlian descriptive phenomenology was used to gather and describe the experiences of the participants. The Level 2 and Level 3 student nurses were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s process of phenomenological data analysis. The formulated meanings were categorized into five (5) emergent themes. The emergent themes gathered from the participants were: (1) Cultural practices and traditions of the Muslim Maguindanaon family, (2) Experience of acceptance, respect, and supportive the school community, (3) Student organizations as social networks for relevant Islamic activities, (4) The curriculum and instruction with considerations of the Muslim Maguindanaon culture, and (5) A Catholic school delivers quality education while respecting the diversity of Muslim Maguindanaon students. The study’s findings were used as a framework to develop a culturally congruent nursing education for Muslim Maguindanaon student nurses. It is recommended that the culturally congruent nursing education model, educators’ guide, prototype curriculum, and mapping of program outcomes shall guide the delivery of culturally congruent nursing education for Muslim Maguindanaon students.
