This paper reviews the sparse literature about international nursing students' clinical learning experiences, and also draws on the literature about international higher education students' learning experiences across disciplines as well as nursing students' experiences when undertaking international clinical placements. The paper aims to identify factors that may impact international nursing students' clinical learning with a view to initiating further research into these students' attributes and how to work with these to enhance the students' clinical learning. Issues commonly cited as affecting international students are socialisation, communication, culture, relationships, and unmet expectations and aspirations. International student attributes tend to be included by implication rather than as part of the literature's focus. The review concludes that recognition and valuing of international nursing students' attributes in academic and clinical contexts are needed to facilitate effective strategies to support their clinical practice in new environments.
本文回顾了有关国际护理学生临床学习经验的稀少文献，并借鉴了跨学科的国际高等教育学生学习经验以及护理学生在进行国际临床实习时的经验。本文旨在确定可能影响国际护理学生临床学习的因素，以期进一步研究这些学生的特质以及如何利用这些特质来增强学生的临床学习。通常被认为影响国际学生的问题包括社会化、沟通、文化、关系以及未满足的期望和愿望。国际学生的特质往往是隐含的，而不是文献重点的一部分。本文的结论是，需要在学术和临床环境中认识和重视国际护理学生的特质，以制定有效的策略来支持他们在新环境中的临床实践。
