Abstract This joint research between University of Indonesia and Kyushu University was conducted in 6 hospitals and one elderly home in Western Japan in May and August 2009 in order to identify the stress and ...coping strategy of Indonesian nurses who work in Japan. There are 14 Indonesian nurses who participated in this study. The result shows that there are seven problems, namely, 1) language and communication barrier, 2) reward and salary issue, 3) being treated as assistant nurse, 4) feeling loneliness, 5) not suitable placement, 6) stress regarding the national board examination in Japanese, and 7) not enough information provided during the pre-departure program (there are some participants who had many expectations).
