To analyse the literature regarding the context and experiences of internationally qualified registered nurses, particularly Filipino and Indian nurses, who have transitioned to New Zealand.
Internationally qualified nurses are a significant proportion of the nursing workforce in many developed countries including New Zealand. This is increasingly important as populations age, escalating demand for nurses. Understanding the internationally qualified nurse experience is required as this could influence migration in a competitive labour market.
Examination of peer-reviewed research, policy and discussion documents, and technical reports.
A systematic literature search sought articles published between 2001 and 2014 using Google Scholar, CINAHL, and Medline. Articles were critically appraised for relevance, transferability, and methodological rigour.
Fifty-one articles met inclusion criteria and demonstrate internationally qualified nurses face significant challenges transitioning into New Zealand.
The internationally qualified nurse experience of transitioning into a new country is little researched and requires further investigation.
分析关于已转型至新西兰的具有国际资质的注册护士,特别是菲律宾和印度护士的背景及经历的文献。
在包括新西兰在内的许多发达国家,具有国际资质的护士在护理劳动力中占相当大的比例。随着人口老龄化,对护士的需求不断增加,这一点变得越来越重要。了解具有国际资质的护士的经历很有必要,因为这可能会在竞争激烈的劳动力市场中影响移民情况。
对同行评审的研究、政策和讨论文件以及技术报告进行审查。
通过谷歌学术、护理学与健康领域数据库(CINAHL)和医学在线数据库(Medline)进行系统的文献检索,查找2001年至2014年期间发表的文章。对文章的相关性、可转移性和方法的严谨性进行严格评估。
51篇文章符合纳入标准,表明具有国际资质的护士在转型至新西兰时面临重大挑战。
对于具有国际资质的护士转型到一个新国家的经历研究较少,需要进一步调查。
