Identification of stressors and their meaning for Mission to the World career missionaries to Mexico

Abstrakt

This project was designed to gain detailed, thick descriptions of stressors encountered by Mission to the World career missionaries to Mexico and to gain an understanding as to how the participants ascribe meaning to them. A qualitative phenomenological research design was employed. The author utilized an interview protocol based on identified stressors cited in previous research. Seven major stressors were noted by participants with safety concerns, absence of field-specific training, and cross-cultural conflict being the most prominent. Three categories of stressors emerged: individual stress, cross-cultural stress, and professional stress. Meaning was ascribed as under God's sovereignty, for sanctification and within a calling.
