To explore the perceptions of overseas nurses during their induction programme.
A pilot cohort of 20 overseas nurses.
A qualitative research approach was used.
The key themes were: communication issues, culture, role definition and feelings of self-worth, which are interrelated and suggest how the experience has influenced each nurse's professional development and ultimate achievement of 'competence' as a registered nurse able to practise in the UK.
These findings confirm there is a need for greater understanding of the 'adjustment process' and integration into the workforce. Recommendations are made that for future projects to succeed, comprehensive support frameworks are required to fully support both the overseas nurse and the organisation as a whole.
探讨海外护士在入职培训期间的认知。
20名海外护士组成的试点队列。
采用定性研究方法。
关键主题包括：沟通问题、文化、角色定义和自我价值感，这些主题相互关联，并表明了这段经历如何影响每位护士的职业发展以及最终成为一名能够在英国执业的注册护士所达到的“胜任能力”。
这些发现证实，需要更好地理解“调整过程”并融入劳动力队伍。建议为使未来项目取得成功，需要全面的支持框架来充分支持海外护士和整个机构。
