To explore the effects of dyslexia on the practice and career progression of UK registered nurses (RN).
Literature suggests dyslexia can have a negative impact in the workplace and may pose particular difficulties for nurses, where accuracy in information processing activities is essential for practice.
A questionnaire was used to survey RNs with dyslexia (n = 116) and results analysed using content analysis.
Dyslexia provided a challenge to the everyday work of RNs, which was often met successfully using a range of individualized strategies. Career progression was achievable but compared with peers, was perceived to take longer. Disclosure of dyslexia to work-colleagues was selective and dependent on the perceived benefits. Informal support mechanisms were commonly utilized with formal management support less well defined.
Dyslexia appears to have a negative impact on working practices and career progression, but remains a poorly understood and often hidden disability.
探讨阅读障碍对英国注册护士（RN）的实践和职业发展的影响。
文献表明，阅读障碍可能会对工作场所产生负面影响，并且对于护士而言可能会带来特殊困难，因为在信息处理活动中准确性对于实践至关重要。
使用问卷调查有阅读障碍的注册护士（n = 116），并采用内容分析法对结果进行分析。
阅读障碍给注册护士的日常工作带来了挑战，他们通常通过一系列个性化策略成功应对。职业发展是可以实现的，但与同龄人相比，人们认为这需要更长的时间。是否向同事透露阅读障碍是有选择性的，并且取决于所感知到的益处。通常会利用非正式支持机制，而正式管理支持的定义则不太明确。
阅读障碍似乎对工作实践和职业发展有负面影响，但它仍然是一种了解不足且常常被隐藏的残疾。
