Severe staff and skill shortages within the health systems of developed countries have contributed to increased migration by health professionals. New Zealand stands out among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in terms of the high level of movements in and out of the country of skilled professionals, including nurses. In New Zealand, much attention has been given to increasing the number of Māori and Pacific nurses as one mechanism for improving Māori and Pacific health. Against a backdrop of the changing characteristics of the New Zealand nursing workforce, this study demonstrates that the globalisation of the nursing workforce is increasing at a faster rate than its localisation (as measured by the growth of the Māori and New Zealand-born Pacific workforces in New Zealand). This challenges the implementation of culturally appropriate nursing programmes based on the matching of nurse and client ethnicities.
发达国家的医疗体系中严重的员工和技能短缺问题导致了医疗专业人员的移民增加。在经济合作与发展组织的国家中，新西兰在熟练专业人员（包括护士）进出该国的高水平流动方面脱颖而出。在新西兰，人们非常关注增加毛利人和太平洋岛裔护士的数量，将其作为改善毛利人和太平洋岛裔健康的一种机制。在新西兰护理劳动力特征不断变化的背景下，本研究表明，护理劳动力的全球化速度比本土化（以新西兰毛利人和新西兰出生的太平洋劳动力在新西兰的增长来衡量）更快。这对基于护士和客户种族匹配的文化上适当的护理计划的实施提出了挑战。
