To define the attitudes of nurses working in public hospitals towards the employment of internationally educated nurses.
The employment of internationally educated nurses is expected to be an important strategy for solving the nursing shortage in Turkey and many other countries.
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with nurses working in seven public university hospitals in different geographical regions of Turkey in September 2015. The data were collected from 1061 nurses in these hospitals using a self-report questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test.
The participants generally did not have positive attitudes towards the employment of internationally educated nurses citing the possibility of experiencing cultural and professional difficulties. They also indicated that the employment of internationally educated nurses is not a real solution for the nursing shortage unless working conditions for nurses are improved. However, younger nurses have more positive attitudes towards employment of internationally educated nurses than older ones.
Defining the attitudes of the nurses working in clinical fields towards the employment of internationally educated nurses is an important issue, because it provides data for reviewing the existing policies and evaluating the possible issues that require attention during implementation of these policies. Policymakers may focus on both creating better working environment conditions and helping both the native and internationally educated nurses during the recruiting process.
定义在公立医院工作的护士对聘用国际教育护士的态度。
预计聘用国际教育护士将是解决土耳其和许多其他国家护士短缺的重要策略。
本研究为 2015 年 9 月在土耳其不同地理位置的 7 所公立大学医院进行的描述性和横断面研究。使用自我报告问卷，从这些医院的 1061 名护士中收集数据。采用描述性统计、t 检验和曼-惠特尼 U 检验进行数据分析。
参与者普遍对聘用国际教育护士的态度不积极，认为可能会遇到文化和专业方面的困难。他们还表示，除非改善护士的工作条件，否则聘用国际教育护士并不是解决护士短缺问题的真正办法。然而，年轻护士比年长护士对聘用国际教育护士的态度更为积极。
明确在临床领域工作的护士对聘用国际教育护士的态度是一个重要问题，因为它为审查现有政策提供了数据，并评估了在实施这些政策时需要注意的可能问题。政策制定者可能会关注创造更好的工作环境条件，并在招聘过程中帮助本地和国际教育护士。
