The aim of this study was to provide a cross-cultural exploration of how young adults with depression use metaphors to describe their illness experiences. Data were collected in semi-structured interviews, designed to capture rich and detailed descriptions of participants’ firsthand narrative experiences of depression and how they make sense of depression. Thirty-three participant interview data were analyzed, using a combination of deductive and inductive approaches. The analysis resulted in extracting five major themes with sub-themes, which detail the diversity and vividness of metaphorical expressions embedded in participants’ accounts and produce insights and a richer picture of the depression experience. Metaphors play a pivotal role in providing a rich resource that young adults rely on, to construct meaningful accounts about their illness. This highlights the importance of a metaphor-enriched perspective in research as well as in clinical practice, particularly in a multicultural health care setting.

Nurses must provide culturally competent care in increasingly multicultural health care settings. This article is a reflection on a research study about intercultural dialogue as a means to increasing knowledge and awareness of other cultures. Hermeneutic methodology provides us a way to explore intercultural dialogue as it requires a commitment to a process of emerging understanding and self-transformation through dialogue. Concepts of intercultural dialogue, such as respect, power, willingness to stay in the process, responsibility, vulnerability and the expanding of one's horizons and self-discovery are included in this reflection.
